Abutment Selection for Fixed Dental Prostheses
The selection of the most appropriate implant abutment is individual to the requirements of each patient situation. This Learning Pathway explains the function of abutments and provides an overview of abutment designs and materials for fixed dental prostheses. The Learning Pathway outlines a prosthodontically driven selection process, and case examples demonstrate use of standard and customized abutments in different clinical situations. This Learning Pathway also offers five consensus statements on abutments and an alternative view on the use of zirconium dioxide as an abutment material.
