Hybridabutment
The hybrid abutment is an individually pressed LS
2
abutment which is luted to the Ti base. The shape,
emergence profile and esthetic properties of this abutment can be ideally adjusted to the clinical
situation.
Individualesthetics
Given the lifelike appearance of LS
2
glass-ceramics, the esthetic possibilities are virtually limitless,
particularly in the anterior region. Due to the individual characterization, a lifelike appearance is
achieved near the root and the transition area to the crown. With the preparation margin of the crown
located on the gingival level, the geometry of the hybrid abutments allows for an easy integration of
the restoration. Excess cementation material is therefore easily removed.
Flexibilityduetolaboratoryfabrication
The pressed LS
2
abutment is extraorally luted to a Ti base with Multilink Implant, then screwed into
place in the oral cavity and finally provided with a permanent IPS e.max crown. As the hybrid abutment
is conveniently fabricated in the lab, the process is time-saving and flexible.
Hybridabutmentcrown
Hybrid abutment crowns are characterized by combining abutment and monolithic crown in one piece.
This is an efficient two-in-one solution made of lithium disilicate (LS
2
), which is directly luted to a Ti base.

LS

glass-ceramics provide for strength, durability and efficiency, particularly in the posterior area.
Moreover, the material offers well-known esthetic properties allowing restorations to be simply
characterized with IPS e.max Ceram stains.
Lutedextraorally,screwedinintraorally–forimprovedflexibility
The monolithically pressed hybrid abutment crown is reliably luted to the Ti base by means of Multilink
Implant. Then, the restoration is screwed onto the implant – in one piece. Thus, the bothersome task of
excess cement removal is a thing of the past. Subsequently, the screw access channel is sealed with a
composite material (e.g. Tetric EvoCeram
®
). If required, the screw can be accessed at any time, which
affords the dental team clincial flexibility.
Newpossibilitiesforeconomicallyefficientrestorations
IPS e.max Press hybrid abutment crowns are a new, economically attractive alternative to conventional
implant-supported restorations, particularly for the posterior area, where strength, durability and con-
venient clinical handling matter.

The present Instructions for Use deal only with IPS e.max Press Abutment Solutions and represent a
supplement to the existing IPS e.max Press Instructions for Use. The IPS e.max Press Instructions for Use
contain more detailed descriptions of the material (e.g. ingot concept) and the entire indication range.

Press ceramics have been synonymous with esthetics, accuracy of fit, shape and function for decades. The IPS e.max Press lithium disilicate
(LS
2
) glass-ceramic additionally offers an outstanding strength of 400 MPa. The already extensive indication range from thin veneers (0.3 mm)
and monolithic molar crowns to anterior and premolar bridges is now expanded to include hybrid abutment restorations.
With IPS e.max Press, you can fabricate such restorations in combination with a titanium base (Ti base). Two different approaches are available:
– Hybrid abutment and separate crown
– Hybrid abutment crown
Both solutions show outstanding function, efficiency and esthetics. The durable bond to the Ti base is achieved by means of the self-curing
Multilink Implant luting composite.
