| Sumario: | Objective: To describe the clinical use of nitride-coated titanium CAD/CAM implant abutments in the maxillary esthetic zone in two patients with high esthetic and functional demands and, to highlight the advantages of nitride-coated milled titanium abutments when compared to stock/custom titanium, one-piece monolithic zirconia, and hybrid metal-zirconia implant abutments. While CAD/CAM technology has been suggested to enhance and ease implant abutment design and manufacturing, implant abutment material selection remains as a critical decision affecting restoration's long-term clinical outcomes. Considering the esthetic disadvantages of conventional titanium implant abutments, the mechanical limitations of one-piece zirconia abutments and the manufacturing time and costs associated with hybrid metal-zirconia abutments, no abutment material can be considered “ideal” for all clinical scenarios. The principal advantages of TiN coated abutments include comparable clinical outcomes to stock abutments, optimal biocompatibility, adequate fracture, wear, and corrosion resistance, reduced bacterial adhesion, and excellent esthetic integration with adjacent soft tissues. |
