Every 5 years, the International Team of Implantology (ITI) organizes a Consensus Conference to review the current state of evidence in areas of interest in implant dentistry. The 7th ITI Consensus Conference was held in Lisbon in May 2023. The topic of Group 2 was “Technology”, focusing on following three research questions: (1) additive versus subtractive manufacturing of implant restorations; (2) survival, complications, and esthetics comparing prefabricated versus customized abutments; and (3) survival of posterior implant-supported multi-unit fixed dental prostheses.
