- Abstract
Implant restorations must fulfill the functional and esthetic demands of the patient. The discrepancy In the diameters of an implant and a natural tooth often leads to compromise. The use of prefabricated abutments that can be individually modified offers certain advantages. Selection and modification of the abutment are simpler when a waxup of the restoration is used as a guideline. This article describes a laboratory technique in which the implant abutment is selected and modified according to the waxup of the restoration.
