Abstract
A method for manufacturing an abutment for receiving a dental prosthesis provides a strong bond which avoids the need for sandblasting. The abutment, which is made of titanium or titanium alloy, extends along a longitudinal direction between a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is configured to be received in or on a dental implant. The distal end is configured to receive and support a dental prosthesis. The distal end has a receiving surface which receives the dental prosthesis by bonding. The method includes texturing at least part of the receiving surface with a laser.
