Abstract

The purpose of this clinical report is to explain the use and advantages of hybrid abutment crowns supported by ti-base abutments with Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) for anterior single-implant restorations. ASC system abutments have recently released to market as a solution of visible screw access problem in the esthetic zone. Moreover, using hybrid abutment consists of ti-base abutment with ASC system and esthetic materials may be a new method to combine esthetic and mechanical strength advantages for anterior single implant restorations. The use of ASC system with hybrid abutment crown design may allow clinicians to obtain optimal esthetics and mechanical strength in the case of over-angulated implants.
