Glidewell's custom abutments are precisely milled using CAD/CAM technology to facilitate a natural-looking emergence profile, optimize crown margins, and enable a smooth, efficient delivery appointment for cementable implant restorations.
Simplify Implant Crown Delivery and Get Predictable Results
For dentists seeking a smooth, efficient final delivery appointment for cementable implant restorations, custom abutments offer a precise, predictable solution. Glidewell's custom abutments are precisely milled using CAD/CAM technology to facilitate a natural-looking emergence profile and optimize gingival contours and crown esthetics. Due to their strength, titanium custom abutments are commonly used in all regions of the mouth. Zirconia abutments with titanium bases are commonly used to optimize esthetics in the anterior.
Available for most major implant systems, custom abutments are designed to align with the gingival anatomy of the individual patient, ensuring a precise, comfortable fit. Dental CAD software is used to position the crown margins at or just below the gingival surface, easing restoration delivery and the cleanup of excess cement.
Custom Abutment vs. Stock Abutment
The tissue-level junction established by a custom abutment allows for easier cement removal than a stock abutment with shallow margins.
Clinical Studies
BEFORE: An implant was placed to restore an upper central incisor. After implant integration, a zirconia custom abutment with titanium base was seated.
AFTER: A final BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crown was delivered over the zirconia custom abutment with titanium base, resulting in a precise fit and optimal esthetics in the smile zone.

BEFORE: Four months after implant placement, a titanium custom abutment was delivered with ease and aligned perfectly with the soft-tissue anatomy of the implant site.
AFTER: The final Obsidian® All-Ceramic restoration blended well with the surrounding teeth. Note the natural emergence profile resulting from the use of the custom abutment.
– Clinical dentistry by Paresh B. Patel, DDS
BEFORE: A gold-tone titanium custom abutment was delivered at a healed implant site, achieving a precise fit while simplifying crown delivery.
AFTER: The final BruxZir Full-Strength crown was cemented over the custom abutment without the need for any adjustments, and established optimal gingival margins.

The fit and contours of the final custom abutments have been close to perfect, adhering nicely to the soft tissue architecture … and requiring very little to no chairside adjustments. Additionally, the final abutment margins of these restorations demonstrate exceptional support of the soft tissue immediately upon placement.
A Glidewell Custom Abutment mitigates the risk of cement retention by placing the margin at or just slightly below the gingival level, which eases cleanup and prevents cement from becoming wedged into the sulcular area.

LIMITED WARRANTY/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Glidewell (“the lab”) warrants that all dental devices (a “device”) are made according to your specification and approval in the belief that the device will be useful and MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Subject to the return of a device that is placed and then fails, the lab will repair or replace the device without charge for the cost of materials and workmanship or refund the original price paid, at the lab’s option, for the life of the patient originally receiving the restoration from the date of placement (including replacement of a device that was made by the lab that was attached to said abutments and including a Hahn™ Tapered titanium dental implant upon request at no extra charge).
Clinical Tips
At the discretion of the clinician, utilize a temporary or permanent cement of choice and take care in removing all excess cement from around the margins of the custom abutment and implant crown.
Take an implant-level impression utilizing the preferred technique (direct, indirect, or intraoral scan).
- Remove the healing abutment from each implant and immediately replace it with an open- or closed-tray impression coping. NOTE: It’s important to seat the impression coping quickly to avoid soft-tissue collapse.
- Connect the impression coping to the implant and take a radiograph to verify that the impression coping is seated correctly.
- Inject light-body syringe material around each impression coping. Fill the tray with medium or heavy body and record the impression.
- Submit the impression to the laboratory.
For detailed instructions for open- and closed-tray impressions, see our Impression-Taking Techniques guide.
