The introduction of translucent zirconium dioxide ceramic now makes it possible to fabricate fully anatomical restorations using copy milling and staining. There are, however, limitations in the case of implant-borne, screw-retained restorations with regard to the accuracy of fit that can be achieved at the interface to the implant shoulder. A patient case will be used to present a simplified working procedure for fabricating a zirconium dioxide ceramic crown on the basis of a temporary implant abutment.
