Hello.
I was thinking of a great idea to help patients to have a healing temporary crown immediately after an implant placement.
1- place the implant at higher ncm to receive a temp/healing crown.
2- scan and design (in house lab)
3- mill a single body, zirconia abutment and a temp crown. This "temp" is actually one body zirconia milled in one piece that has the zirconia abutment, like straumann cares abutment on the bottom and a temp crown on the top with a hole for access for a temp screw.
Pt wears it for 2 months (out of occlusion),the "temp" will mold the gum, and I could use this design to fabricate the final one better.
Question:
If full zirconia abutment is available, why couldn't we mill full zirconia final crown that is one piece with zirconia abutment? (given that technique is accurate enough to repeat every time). Or is it already there?
Self critique:
Does this idea need FDA approval? I'm pretty sure. Any inputs?
Why not just make a final immediate one? for molding gum for better perio control.
Could you guys review my idea please? Thank you
