Description
Jihoon Shin and co-authors compare three ways to pick the connector piece on a back-tooth dental implant. Custom CAD-CAM abutments are made to order, while stock pieces are generic. A middle route picks an anatomical prefab from a library. Their 2025 study used two single-implant cases and asked twenty-four dental professionals to try all three routes.
The team timed design and selection work, then measured how closely each piece matched the ideal shape. A new sector-based method checked fit at the margin, where errors matter most. Library picks took far less time than custom design in the lab tests. Implant dentists get hard numbers on the trade between chair time and exact fit.
