This report describes the restoration of the healed single implant in the posterior region by using a lithium disilicate crown supported by an Acuris abutment. The restored implants were placed in the premolar and molar region of both the mandible and the maxilla by using a 1-stage approach. The definitive Acuris abutment was placed after an implant healing period of at least 3 months. Definitive impressions were made at least 3 months after surgery. The precrystallized lithium disilicate crown was adapted to a laboratory abutment and evaluated. The crown was then crystallized, finished, colored, and cemented to the definitive abutment by using an adhesive resin cement. The definitive restoration engaged the abutment without the use of screws or cement. A single healed implant can be successfully restored by using a lithium disilicate restoration supported by an Acuris abutment.
