Restorative Challenge


An osseointegrated implant in region 24 needed to be restored. I discussed the treatment plan with Dr. Katharina de Buhr and we decided to fabricate a monolithic hybrid abutment crown milled from Sagemax’s NexxZr T Multi zirconium oxide with a titanium bonding base.


NexxZr T Multi was my material of choice for this case because it combines two generations of zirconium oxide, 3Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP, resulting in high flexural strength (1,200MPa) in the cervical region and high translucency in the incisal region. It has a smooth gradient of color and translucency and is free of visible layers, providing very natural-looking restorations.


My lab fabricates almost exclusively all-ceramic one-part and two-part abutments (1*, 2*, 3*). We opted for a two-piece hybrid abutment for this case because both the abutment and the implant are made of titanium. This eliminates the risk of material wear due to friction between zirconium...
