Dental Implant Abutments Budapest Hungary Explained
Dental Implant Abutments
Dental implant abutments are at the core of implant function. They are used to transfer the load from the teeth to the dental implant itself and so high quality abutments are absolutely essential in any high quality restoration. The implant itself is hiden beneath the implant as too is the dental implant abutment but the post of the abutment extends out into the crown and so in some situations the material the abutment is made out of may be important - especially in front restorations where high quality translucent crowns (such as Procera) are used.
Dental Implant Abutments Explained
Shown here (greatly enlarged) are the three pieces that make up a full dental implant restoration.
The Crown
Here seen from the side, this is a front lateral incisor.
The Abutment
the post, which is the upper portion of the abutment, will in this case have the crown cemented onto it after the lower section is attached to the implant below. Notice the curved horizontal line which is designed to fit the lower curve of the crown. None of the abutment will be visible once the crown is fitted onto it.
The Dental Implant
None of the implant is visible once the abutment and crown have been fitted.
Dental Implant, Abutment and Crown Joined
Here you can see all three pieces joined together - the abutment is inserted into the dental implant and the dental crown is cemented onto the abutment post.
Note the pink line which denotes the gum line. Everything below this line is not visible so that only the replacement tooth can be seen.
In some systems the crown is not permanently glued to the post but instead a special abutment is used which allows for a discreet screw to be used to attach the crown in place.
Different Types of Dental Implant Abutments
There are many different types of dental implant abutments that our dentists at The Implant and Aesthetic Center in Budapest. have available to them. Each is designed for a specific purpose and each implant system will have it's own range of abutments - some more than others. For example, Camlog and Branemark dental implant systems have some of the widest selection of abutments available on the market today whereas Pitt Easy dental implant system has a limited range, meaning that the dental implant's range of use is also limited.
Zirkon Abutments and Procera Crowns
Because of the very high luminosity and translucent nature of Nobel-Biocare's Procera™ Crown, where the restoration is fully visible it is always advisable to use a Zirkon dental implant abutment. Both Camlog (shown here) and Branemark make Zirkon abutments for this very purpose.
The end result is a truly realistic restoration that allows the light travel through the crown and be dispersed diffusely from within. Truly the gold-standard of all restorations and well worth the extra cost if a premium solution is what you are after.

Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Upper Jaw - In the upper jaw, provided
the implants stay within the bone that once supported your own teeth
there are really no important risk areas. If you have missing upper back
teeth then the shape and location of the maxillary sinus (the region
above the roots) can be shown to you. The maxillary sinuses can be seen
on most x-rays and are therefore readily avoided.
Lower Jaw - In the lower jaw the most important anatomical
structure to be avoided is the 'inferior dental nerve'. This nerve runs
from the area behind the wisdom teeth, passes under the molars and emerges
onto the skin of the face in the region where your premolar teeth are
or used to be. This is why a normal dental anaesthetic produces a numb
lip even when the needle was placed right at the back of the mouth. If
this nerve is disturbed or damaged during the placement of dental implants
it can lead to temporary or even permanent numbness of the lip on the
affected side. This is a rare but important complication.
Are
the new teeth joined together?
When multiple implants are placed, they are routinely
joined together in the same way that a bridge supported by natural teeth
would be designed.
If enough implants are available, it is often easier and just as effective
to make several smaller sections of bridgework each supporting a few
teeth. The overall effect in the mouth is the same and if you ever need
to repair one of the small sections, this can be very much easier to
do.
Again the bone quality and the number and position of the implants will
largely determine which option is most suitable for you. When implant-supported
teeth are linked together, they are mechanically stronger than the individual
parts and can better resist the forces of normal function which will
try and undo the screw components, posts and/or cements that secure the
underlying structure to each of the implants.
