Prosthetics: Single crowns
For the prosthetic restoration of single tooth implants, a variety of treatment options exists: Metal or ceramic abutments, screw-retained or cemented crowns, all-ceramic or metal-ceramic crowns etc. This module will guide you through these treatment options and help you to take evidence-based decisions.
