If you need to replace missing teeth, your oral surgeon may recommend a dental implant. The procedure involves the

placement of the implant and the attachment of the abutment and crown. Healing abutments can help in the healing process. It

is important to learn more about the procedure and the benefits of the healing abutment.

A healing abutment, also known as a healing cap or

gingival former, can help promote soft and hard tissue healing around an implant. The healing cap also protects the main part

of the implant from plaque and debris accumulations. It is often fitted on top of the implant. It is slightly wider than the

implant to help shape the gumline. An oral surgeon can fit the healing abutment in either the one-stage or two-stage

procedure.

In the one-stage procedure, the oral surgeon will place the implant and the healing cap at the same time. The implant is

first inserted into the bone, then the healing cap is attached to it. The healing abutment will protrude through the surface

of the gum and stay in place while the dental implant heals. Once the implant and jawbone fully integrate, the healing cap

will be removed to gain access to the implant. The abutment will then replace the healing cap. Finally, the crown will be

placed over the abutment.

In the two-stage procedure, after the oral surgeon inserts the implant into the bone, it is covered with gum tissue and

left to heal. After healing, the implant fuses with the bone in the process of osseointegration for several months. The

second phase involves making another incision to expose the implant before the healing cap is screwed on it. The healing

abutment will help the surrounding gum to heal. After some weeks, the healing cap will be removed before the attachment of

the abutment and eventually the crown will be put in place.

Some people opt to use the healing abutment because it makes the process shorter. In the one-stage procedure, once the

oral surgeon places the healing cap, there is no need for the second surgery to connect the abutment. The healing abutment is

removed after the gums heal and then the connecting abutment is fitted before the crown is attached. However, people are

usually advised to see an oral surgeon to get information and guidance on the ideal method.

Healing abutments should not be reused. Patients should not reuse healing caps. One of the main reasons is because the

recreation of the surface of a new abutment is not feasible even with sterilization. Sterilization can also change the

initial composition of the titanium surface, which makes the product less effective. Sometimes cleaning may damage the

healing cap implant screws. This can make it hard to fix it tightly in an implant.

Another equipment Stock Abutments, also called

standard abutments, are pre-manufactured abutments, made by dental implant companies to fit an existing implant system.

Mass-produced and fitted to the implant, these dental stock abutments are cost-effective but are not custom-fit to the

patient. This means that though the implant is less expensive, the result can vary in aesthetic appearance. Smart Abutments,

or fitted abutments, are custom-made abutments, created by a dental laboratory using an impression of the individual’s

mouth. This data, as well as the position of the implant, is then used to create a custom abutment that fits perfectly into

the patient’s implant and gum line, bringing optimal aesthetic results, albeit with a higher price tag.
