prosthetic applications
oImplant position and angulation may require
different abutments to allow optimum esthetics.
oLack of intermaxillary space may preclude
traditional abutments and require special or
custom abutments
96. Introduction
oIn all settings, clinicians pursue implant
protocols and materials that further expand
their use in the fixed replacement of natural
teeth.
oThis has contributed in part to the evolution of
ārestoration-drivenā implant dentistry.
97. Terminologies
oAbutment /abutĀ·ment/ a supporting structure to
sustain lateral or horizontal pressure, as the anchorage
tooth for a fixed or removable partial denture.
Dorland's Medical Dictionary for
Health Consumers
oAbutment : that part of a structure that directly receives
thrust or pressure; an anchorage : a tooth, a portion of a
tooth, or that portion of a dental implant that serves to
support and/or retain a prosthesis usage.
GPT 8
98. oAbutment analog : a replica of the superior portion of
a dental implant. Usually used to provide an exact form of
the dental implant abutment within the dental laboratory
during fabrication of a prosthesis supported in part or
whole by the dental implant
oAbutment clamp ;any device used for positioning a
dental implant abutment upon the dental implant body
oAbutment driver : any hand instrument usually
speciļ¬cally made to assist in insertion and securing of a
dental implant abutment to the superior portion of a
dental implant
GPT 8
99. oAbutment healing cap : any temporary cover used to
provide a seal over the superior portion of a dental implant;
most such covers are metallic and are intended for interim
usage following exposure of the dental implants superior
surface
oAbutment post : that component of a dental implant
abutment which extends into the internal structure of a dental
implant and is used to provide retention and/or stability to the
dental implant abutment
oAbutment screw : that component which secures the dental
implant abutment to the dental implant body
GPT 8
100. Implant components:
oTo understand the characteristics and function of
an implant, one must have knowledge of its
component parts. Although each implant system
varies the parts are basically consistence .
oThe system that pioneered clinical prosthodontic
applications with the use of commercially pure
titanium endosseous implants is that of
branemark and co-workers.
101. The component parts are:
1.Implant fixture
2.Cover screw
3.Trans mucosal abutment
4.Abutment screw
5.Healing abutment
6.Impression posts
7.Laboratory analog
8.Waxing sleeves
9.Prosthesis retaining screws

103. Implant Fixture:
oFixture is the component placed with in the bone
during the first stage surgery. It may or may not be
threaded and is normally made of titanium or titanium
alloy of varying roughnesses.
oAn implant provides the anchor or foundation for a
restoration. It is screwed into the bone of the jaw
providing a fixed platform on which an abutment can
be screwed.
oAll contemporary dental implants have an internally
threaded portion that can accept second stage screw
placements.
o These implants also may incorporate an
antirotational feature within the implant body which
may be internal or external.
104. Implant Fixture:
oDepending on the implant system, the fixture can
have different surfaces-threaded, grooved,
perforated, plasma sprayed or coated.
o Each surface type is meant for a particular
purpose such as increase surface area
enhances osseointegration or better cortex
engagement ensures immediate and long term
bone anchorage.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide, Carl drago
105. Cover screw
oThe cover screw acts as a seal on the coronal
portion of the fixture and fits into threads of the
internal channel over the hexagonal shape.
oThis is used during the interim period after the
first surgical procedure and before the second
surgery, it has a groove for screwdriver access
and is rounded on top prevent damage to soft
tissue.
o In the centre of the screw there is a depression
within the groove to accommodate the punch
blade; the blade is used for cutting soft tissue
located around the circumference of the cover
screw during second stage surgery.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide, Carl drago
106. Transmucosal abutment
oAbutments are component of the implant system
that is screwed directly into the implant.
oIt provides the connection between the fixture
and the prosthesis that will be fabricated. They
accept the retaining screw of the prosthesis.
oThe abutment is made of titanium or titanium
alloy.
oAbutments take many forms. Their wall is usually
smooth, polished, straight aided titanium or
titanium alloy.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide, Carl drago
107. Transmucosal abutment
oThe abutment screw has a silicone ring that
provides a seal to prevent microorganisms from
passing through the abutment to the fixture.
oAbutments can engage either an internal or
external hexagon on the fixture that serves as an
anti rotational device, which is particularly
important for single unit restorations.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide,
Carl drago
108. oAbutments are classified as temporary and
permanent abutments.
oTemporary are healing abutments which are
placed after second stage surgery. They will be
slightly larger than the permanent abutments.
oPermanent abutments are classified according to
length, angulations, material, implant system etc.
oAngled abutments are used in divergently placed
implants. Tapered and wide-base abutments
allow teeth with larger cross sectional diameter to
be restored with more physiologic contours.
110. oHealing abutments are dome shaped screws
placed after second stage surgery and before
insertion of the prosthesis
oThey can be screwed directly into the fixture or
onto the abutment immediately after second
stage surgery.
o Those that screw into the abutment are called
healing caps.
111. oHEALING ABUTMENTS
standard healing abutment
5.0mm height
standard healing abutment
4.0mm height
standard healing abutment
3.0mm height
standard healing abutment
2.0mm height
113. oHealing abutments are made of titanium or
titanium alloy.
oIn areas where esthetic is paramount healing
should be sufficiently completed around the
healing cap to stabilize the gingival margin.
114. Impression posts:
oImpression posts facilitate transfer of the intraoral
location of the implant abutment to a similar
position on the laboratory cast.
oThey may be screw into the implant or into the
abutment and are customarily subdivided into
fixture type or abutment type, with the transfer
post in place ,an impression is made intraorally.
oThese can be further subdivided into transfer
types(indirect) and pick up type(direct)after
radiographs are taken to confirm complete
engagement.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide, Carl
115. oWhen impression is removed from the mouth
impression post remains in place on the Implant
or the abutment.
oIt is removed and joined to the laboratory analog
before being transferred to the impression in the
proper orientation
oTo correct implant angulations in the cast flat
sided impression post is used. Completely
symmetrical impression posts are contraindicated
if angle correction is necessary.
116.
117. oImpression posts can also be divided into one
piece or two piece type .
oOne piece type is screwed into the fixture or
the abutment and is used where there is no
need to change the abutment in the
laboratory cast.
o To transfer the orientations of an
antirotational feature from the mouth to the
cast the two piece Pick up (direct) impression
technique should be used.
118. o This requires a two piece impression post with a
removable guide pin that screws directly into the
abutment or onto the fixture.
o It uses a square coping with a long guide pin
and usually an open top tray to prevent rotation
in the impression material and to allow access to
the guide pin for unscrewing after the material
has set so that the copings can be picked up with
in the impression.
119. Laboratory analog:
oLaboratory analogs are made to represent
exactly the top of the implant fixture or the
abutment in the laboratory cast therefore they are
classified as fixture analog and abutment
analogs.
oBoth screw directly into the impression post after
it has been removed from the mouth and
returned to the impression before pouring.
oAbutment analogs are generally attached to an
implant impression post. Implant body impression
posts are normally attached to implant body
analogs.
Implant restorations; A step by step guide, Carl drago
120. Laboratory analog:
oThe advantage of using the implant body analog
is that the abutments can be changed in the
laboratory if the clinician is confident that the
appropriate abutment has been selected using
the abutment impression post and abutment
analog can simplify the procedure.
