IMPLANT ABUTMENT IN DENTISTRY: DESIGN, FUNTION & APPLICATION

Implant Abutment in Dentistry: Design, Function and Application offers a concise yet comprehensive insight into the pivotal role of abutments in implant prosthodontics. It underscores that abutments are not merely connectors but critical determinants of biomechanical stability, esthetic success, and peri-implant tissue health. The book systematically examines implant-abutment interface designs, highlighting how internal and conical connections enhance stability, reduce micromovement, and limit microbial infiltration. It provides clear comparison between stock and custom abutments, emphasizing the superiority of CAD/CAM-fabricated designs in achieving precise emergence profiles and optimal soft tissue support, especially in esthetically demanding zones. Material considerations are thoughtfully discussed. Clinical protocols addressing retention methods, angulation correction are presented with practical relevance. The text also explores potential mechanical and biological complications and their prevention. Incorporating advancements in digital dentistry, the book serves as a refined guide to evidence-based abutment selection and application in contemporay implant practice.
