Abstract

When treating an edentulous patient, it is difficult to rehabilitate and maintain long-term functionality with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. This is because resorption of the remaining alveolar bone may cause dissonance with the opposite arch. We present a case involving customized abutments made using a conventional casting system with cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy, used to compensate for the shortcomings of prefabricated abutments. The customized abutment, used in conjunction with a cement-retained prosthesis, has shown satisfying result in both function and aesthetics during an eight-year follow-up of this particular patient.
