Abstract: Objective: To compare the marginal fitness of three types of CAD/CAM customized implant abutments (one-piece zirconia abutments, two-piece zirconia abutments and one-piece titanium abutments) between the implant-abutment interfaces. Methods: 3SHAPE software was used to design the customized CAD/CAM abutments. Three types of implants including one-piece zirconia abutments, two-piece zirconia abutments, and one-piece titanium abutment were fabricated after importing the designed data into computer-controlled cutting system (n=15). Stereomicroscope was used to measure the micro-gap of the implant-abutment interface. The results of the gap value were analyzed using statistical method. Results: The titanium abutment showed the lowest gap values, and those of the two-piece zirconia abutments were lower than those of the one-piece zirconia abutments. There was no statistical difference on the gap values among the palatal, labial, mesial, and distal surfaces in the same type of abutment. Conclusion: The one-piece titanium abutment showed the best marginal fit.
