Fitting of an implant abutment is necessary to connect the implant to the final prosthesis. This step is critical for ensuring proper alignment and stability of the prosthesis. Abutments are typically fabricated using materials like titanium or zirconia, offering both strength and biocompatibility. The procedure involves precise placement and torqueing of the abutment to ensure optimal retention and stability. Proper alignment ensures the prosthesis integrates seamlessly with the surrounding dentition, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Ensuring proper alignment and stability of the prosthesis improves function and aesthetics, enabling the patient to chew and speak comfortably. A well-fitted abutment reduces stress on the implant and surrounding bone, preventing complications such as screw loosening or fracture. Additionally, it enhances the durability of the restoration, ensuring it remains functional and aesthetically pleasing over time. By addressing alignment issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or failure, ensuring long-term success.
Ensure precise fit and torque to avoid loosening or failure. Use radiographic guidance to verify the position of the abutment and ensure it integrates seamlessly with the prosthesis. Verify the occlusion to ensure the abutment does not interfere with the patient’s bite. Educate the patient on proper care and maintenance of the abutment, emphasizing the importance of regular follow-ups to monitor its stability.
