Layer­thicknesses­of­the­ceramic­components

Observing the geometry requirements of the pressed objects made of IPS e.max Press material is the key to success for a 
durable restoration. The more attention given to the design, the better the final results and the clinical success will turn out 
to be. The following basic guidelines have to be observed:

Hybrid­abutment

–  The marginal shoulder width S

A

 must be at least

0.6 mm.

–  The wall thickness W

AK

 must be larger than 1.5 mm 

for the entire circumference. 

–  The opening of the screw channel must not be 

located in the contact point areas or areas with a 
masticatory function. If this is not possible, a hybrid 
abutment with a separate crown should be  
preferred.

–  The width of the hybrid abutment crown B

AK

 is 

limited to 6.0 mm from the axial height of contour 
to the screw channel. 

–  The height H

AK

 must not exceed twice the height of 

the Ti base by more than 2 mm.

–  The marginal shoulder width S

A

 must be at least

0.6 mm.

–  Create an emergence profile with a right angle at 

the transition to the crown (see picture).

–  The wall thickness W

A

 must be at least 0.5 mm.

–  The height H

A

 must not exceed twice the height of 

the Ti base H

.

–  The hybrid abutment should be designed in a simi-

lar way as a prepared natural tooth:

  –  Circular epi-/supragingival shoulder with rounded 

inner edges or a chamfer.

  –  In order for the crown to be cemented to the 

hybrid abutment using a conventional/self- 
adhesive cementation protocol, retentive surfaces 
and a sufficient "preparation height" must be 
observed.

–  The width B

AK

 of the crown is limited to 6.0 mm 

from the axial height of contour to the screw  
channel of the hybrid abutment.
