ABSTRACT
The 1-piece, implant-supported abutment and crown, colloquially described as the UCLA abutment, commonly is used to fabricate single, screw-retained crowns. This abutment was designed to allow attachment of the crown directly to the implant and requires a waxing and casting procedure by a laboratory technician. A new prefabricated abutment has been developed that uses a similar approach but does not require the waxing and casting process. The PDQ abutment is made from a metal-ceramic alloy that is custom contoured by grinding to support a porcelain veneer. Porcelain then is fired to the contoured abutment to develop the 1-piece artificial crown. This article describes the use of the PDQ abutment.
