The Millennium Research Group has conducted a detailed analysis of the US dental implant market which revealed that custom- milled final abutments represent the fastest-growing segment in the US dental implant market in 2006 with unit volumes growing over 100% from the previous year.

Custom-milled final abutments, usually obtained from a specialized dental lab, are rapidly adopted by dentists due to the improved functional and aesthetic benefits afforded by a product generated with computer-aided design and computer-aiding manufacturing technology (CAD/CAM).
