BEST IN CLASS:<br />
Inclusive Custom<br />
Abutments<br />
Dzevad Ceranic, CDT, Implant Department General Manager<br />
and Grant Bullis, Director of Implant R&D and Digital Manufacturing<br />
OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, the Implant department at<br />
<strong>Glidewell</strong> Laboratories has witnessed a tremendous rate<br />
of growth in the demand for its line of Inclusive ® Custom<br />
Abutments (Fig. 1). By pioneering advance ments in the<br />
computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques used<br />
to produce these patient-specific restorations, the laboratory<br />
has developed and refined processes that are far more<br />
predictable, more precise, 1 and more efficient than traditional<br />
waxing and casting techniques. The end result is a custom<br />
solution at or near the cost of a generic, prefabricated<br />
abutment, making it the first choice of a growing number<br />
of clinicians.<br />
