Patient-specific abutment restorations, milled from Pre-milled Abutment Blanks (PMABs), are indicated for single tooth replacement and multiple tooth restorations. They are directly connected to various endosseous dental implant systems using a basal screw. Patient-specific abutment restorations milled from Pre-milled Abutment Blanks are to be digitally designed and milled using the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow. The Straumann InLab Validated Workflow is indicated for the design and fabrication of single or multiple-unit implant-borne prosthetics for the restoration of partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-Oral Scanners or Extra-Oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, pre-milled abutment blanks, milling machines and associated tooling and accessories.
