Dental Implant Abutment Systems

Dental implant abutment systems provide a secure connection between the implant and the restoration that will be attached to it. Whether fabricated from titanium, zirconia or another material, these critical parts of any implant case must be the correct angle, shape, and of course compatible with the implant system being used. As implants improve below the gumline with better shapes and surface treatment, the above-the-gum mechanics are advancing faster than ever. Traditional radicular attachments for removable prosthetics are being redesigned for implants. These newer styles are not just incorporating the same old way of doing things, but branching into greater ease for the dentist, and comfort for the patient. Computers are even incorporating CAD/CAM designs to aid with the accuracy of the restoration. Advances in abutment designs and the ease of using digital technology for custom designs makes it easier than ever to place an esthetic restoration on any implant case.
