Smith-Sterling offers two types of custom implant abutments under the Inclusive® brand name. Inclusive Custom Implant Abutments are available in titanium and zirconia with titanium base to fit your patients’ individual needs. Titanium abutments are commonly used in all regions of the mouth due to their strength. Zirconia abutments include a titanium base, provide the best possible esthetics and are commonly used in the anterior with all-ceramic or zirconia restorations
Inclusive Custom Implant Abutments are precisely milled using CAD/CAM technology to facilitate a natural-looking emergence profile and optimize soft-tissue contours and crown esthetics. This precise interface also ensures comfortable delivery of the final restoration and excellent gingival health. Inclusive Custom Implant Abutments are compatible with up to 21 of the most popular implant systems.
