CAD-CAM Fabrication of Custom Healing Abutments

Currently, CAD-CAM technology is being commonly used for the fabrication of custom healing abutments.^61,62 The data obtained from intraoral and cone beam computerized tomography scans is imported into the CAD software and used for designing the custom healing abutment. The individual emergence profile of the custom healing may be designed by mirror flipping the emergence profile of the contralateral tooth or by using the CBCT measurements of human teeth crosssections.^40,61,63 The custom healing abutment is then milled using CAM technology.
