Fig. 31: The sintered abutment left (without) and right with fluorescent solution treatment. Fig. 32: Firing of a highly fluorescent, etchable zirconium oxide veneer ceramic. The shape of the abutment is optimized prior to modeling the press cap. Fig. 36: Esthetic try-in: the patient and her dental technician, Andreas Nolte, appreciating the highly successful outcome and nearly completed treatment. Fig. 41: The X-ray check-up confirms successful osseo- integration and the natural emergence profile of the implant-supported restoration. Fig. 33: The layer thicknesses for veneering the pressed ce- ramic caps are checked with the aid of the vestibular, twice-divided silicone index. Fig. 34: Modeling of the mamelon for the implant-supported veneer from a palatal view. Fig. 35: After glaze firing and polishing, the natural anatomy and surface characteristics of the restoration are checked. Fig. 38: The transitions between the abutment and the ve- neer are smoothed and polished to a high gloss with a brush and polishing paste. Fig. 39: The implant restoration is screw-retained. For bio- mechanical reasons, the screw access channel is placed in the zirconium oxide section. Fig. 40: The palatally inserted crowns and the sealed screw access channel of the implant crown. Insertion Fig. 37: The pressed ceramic veneer is mounted on the pre- viously bonded hybrid abutment by bonding with dual-curing composite. Fig. 42: The crowns on teeth 12, 21 and 22 and the implant restoration on 11 fit harmoniously to the dental arch and the remaining teeth. Fabrication of veneer and final crown
