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 />
