What are the implant abutments?

The repair abutment is divided into prefabricated abutment and personalized abutment.

Precast non adjustable abutment——

It is not allowed to modify the finished abutment in clinical application.

Prefabricated adjustable abutment——

After knowing the types of implant abutment, let's take a look. What materials are suitable for implant abutment?

Metal pedestal——

It is more economical and practical. If you don't care about beauty, you can use it in front teeth. If you care about beauty, you can use it in back teeth.

All ceramic abutment——

The optical properties are good, but the all ceramic base has low strength and high brittleness. Therefore, if the thickness of gingival soft tissue is only 2mm, it is recommended to use an all ceramic abutment in the area where the front teeth are under low stress.

Pure titanium base——

Its advantages are toughness, light weight, good biocompatibility and durability, so it has been widely used.

However, pure titanium abutment has no advantage in aesthetic repair. The gingival soft tissue needs 3mm to ensure that the color of metal is not detected. Moreover, pure titanium abutment is more suitable for molar restoration with large bite force.

The commonly used repair abutments are : straight base, angle base, removable denture base, healing base, composite base, personalized base, temporary base, etc.
