  • Title: A laboratory procedure for optimal implant abutment preparation.
    Author: Ozcelik TB, Yilmaz B.
    Journal: J Prosthodont; 2009 Aug; 18(6):537-40. PubMed ID: 19500234.
    Abstract:
    Simplicity and predictability have made cement-retained implant crowns the recent restoration of choice. The taper of the abutment is of particular importance for cement-retained implant restorations. The ideal taper of the implant abutment allows the clinician to control the overall retention of restorations. The technique described in this report presents the laboratory preparation of an implant abutment for a cement-retained crown using a counter gauge to control the preparation taper.
