Dental Implant Abutments
Dental implant abutments are the bases of implantations. They transfer the load from the teeth to the dental implant. High quality abutments are essential in high quality restorations. The implant is hidden just like the dental implant abutment, but the post of the abutment extends into the crown. In some situations the material of the abutment may be important especially in front restorations where high quality translucent crowns (e.g. Procera) are used.

Dental Implant, Abutment and Crown Together

Here you can see the abutment inserted into the dental implant and the dental crown cemented onto the abutment post; all three pieces together.
In some systems the crown is not permanently glued to the post. In these cases a special abutment is used with a tiny screw to attach the crown in its place.
Different Types of Dental Implant Abutments
There are several types of implant abutments used in our clinic various purposes. All implants have their range of abutments on a different scale. For example the dental implant systems of Camlog offer a wide selection of abutments whereas e.g., the Wital dental implant system has a limited range. |
