Exemplary embodiments relate to a dental abutment and methods of forming
the same. The abutment (19) may include a head portion (27) located at an
upper end of the abutment and constructed to support a prosthetic tooth
replacement and soft tissue adjacent the head portion, an anti-rotation
feature (25) located at a lower end of the abutment and constructed to
mate with a dental implant, and a fillet (21) located at an interface
between the head portion and the anti-rotation feature. The fillet may
reduce a risk of fracture at the interface between the head portion and
the anti-rotation feature. In some examples, the abutment may be formed
at least partially of a ceramic material.
