    Healing cap for multi unit abutment. Healing caps are specifically made for multi-unit abutments. These caps are unique because they are meant to be connected to a multi-unit abutment, which is placed into the implant right after implantation. Afterward, the healing cap is fixed onto the abutment. Temporary Sleeve for Multi-Unit Abutment

  3. Implant-abutment junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant-abutment_junction

    The healing abutment on the more posterior implant [left] is platform matched (it shares the same 5.0 mm diameter as the implant platform), while the healing abutment on the more anterior implant [right] is platform switched (it possesses a 4.1 mm diameter). Because the implant to the right is platform switched, its IAJ is more distinct.

  4. Dental implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

    After an implant is placed the internal components are covered with either a healing abutment, or a cover screw. A healing abutment passes through the mucosa, and the surrounding mucosa is adapted around it. A cover screw is flush with the surface of the dental implant, and is designed to be completely covered by mucosa. After an integration ...

    This dental radiograph displays two identical 5.0 mm diameter Biomet 3i tapered dental implants placed into the lower right mandible. The healing abutment on the more posterior implant [left] is platform matched (it shares the same 5.0 mm diameter as the implant platform), while the healing abutment on the more anterior implant [right] is platform switched (it possesses a 4.1 mm diameter).

  6. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

    In contrast to common titanium screw type implants, these implants are custom-made to exactly match the extraction socket of the specific patient. Thus there is usually no need for surgery. [2] As the root analogue dental implant matches the dental alveolus (tooth socket) it can only be placed immediately after the tooth extraction. If the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-unit_abutment

    A multi-unit abutment (MUA) is an abutment most commonly used with dental implants in "All-on-Four" protocols. [1] [2] They are designed for screw-retained group restorations, [3] which are often used in combination with angled dental implants [4] and whole arch replacements, as well as screw fixation of bridges made of zirconium or metal-ceramic group restorations to the implant.

    Technique depicted in 3D video This image shows how Nobel Biocare's All-on-4 solution works. The term All-on-4, also known as All-on-Four [1] and All-in-Four, [2] refers to 'all' teeth being supported 'on four' dental implants, a prosthodontics procedure [3] [4] for total rehabilitation of the edentulous (toothless) patient, or for patients with badly broken down teeth, decayed teeth, or ...

    The ball (male unit) is made on the implant abutment while the socket (female unit) is incorporated on the fitting surface of the overdenture. [14] Locator (self-aligning) attachment: This is the least commonly used stud attachment and is usually indicated when the implant abutments are non-parallel to each other. [12] Bars and clips
