Multi-Unit Abutments
In dental surgery, by a multi-unit abutment it is meant a multicomponent variety of abutment representing not a single body, but consisting of some constituent parts. A multi-unit abutment is as a rule made of titanium, zirconium or a combination of these two materials.
In the majority of cases, a multi-unit abutment has the appearance of an angulated abutment. Having the same appearance, it is mounted on the implants being installed in the bone at an atypical angle due to the specificities of installation site (shape of jaw or tooth range).
Thus, if an implant is installed atypically, an angulated multi-unit abutment makes it possible optimally place a crown – the external portion of a dental prosthesis in the oral cavity. However, the variants of straight multi-unit abutments (with the angle of inclination of 0 degrees) are also available.
The abutments of Locator System (locators) represent highly specialized multicomponent multi-units. They make it possible to carry out strong mounting of removable or conventionally removable dental prostheses on the implants being grafted. The locators consisting of three pieces:
• screw attachment retainer;
• transmucosal cuff;
• O-ring retention piece (ball anchor).
Regardless of relative structural complexity of the multi-units, the manufacturing of their typical and individual models is also successfully mastered at our ABM Technology Medical Product Plant.
