The TiBase is a titanium base designed to interface with a dental implant andto support a patient-specific ceramic superstructure or a multi-unit direct restoration cemented tothe base. The base and the superstructure form a patient-specific abutment that will support adefinitive restoration, either a single crown or a multi-unit restoration. The TiBase Engaging is intended for single-unit restorations and TiBase Nonengagingis intended for multi-unit restorations. Alternatively, a definitive multi-unit restoration may be cemented directly to the TiBase.
A prefabricated device intended to provide a permanent intermediate fixture level between a dental implant and the final prosthesis/restoration (e.g., bridge, single tooth, overdenture). It includes one or more structural component(s) [e.g., abutment, ball, bar, bar overlay, coping, ring], and may be made of various materials [e.g., titanium (Ti), plastic, gold alloy]. It includes devices glued to prostheses and/or devices that can be replaced during cleaning cycles. An abutment screw(s) may be included, however the suprastructure does not represent the screw(s) in isolation. It may also be referred to as an abutment assembly or mesostructure.
