There is a metal connector that is used to place the dental implants and these connectors are called an abutment. This piece of metal screws in the implant and it ensures that the crown remains in place.
Titanium abutments are one of the best options and there are different types of abutments available in the dental industry depending on the basal implants for which they are going to be used. The different types include straight titanium abutment, wide titanium abutment, anatomical angled and wide anatomical angled titanium abutment. The customized connectors can be cementable or they can be retained by screws. In the case of the cementable abutment, there is no hole for the screw to access. The dentist has to cement this abutment and the abutment can be customized based on the patient's requirement.
In case the patient is not medically fit for dental implant surgery, in that case, the dentist cannot recommend dental implants which need these abutments. In such cases, the dentist gives the option of permanent dentures. There may be some patients who find the dental implant cost very high and in such cases also the dentist will recommend other options like dentures.
The dentist takes the impression of the mouth by scanning the oral area and gives all the details like pictures measurements etc to the certified lab. The lab then starts the process of making customized abutments and dental implants. Manufacturing customized abutments and implants is a highly skilled task and only skilled technicians like those in our lab have the caliber to create the same.
In the case of cementable titanium customized abutment, no hole access is provided for the screw. This means that here the abutment which is used to fix the implant cannot be fitted by a screw. The dentist has to cement this abutment and so the lab has to make sure that the abutment and the implants are created with high precision.
