RP One-Piece Standard Abutments attach directly to the implant and provide the transitional link between the head of the implant and the restorative components. They are designed to be used for screw retained multi-implant prostheses. Abutments are available in one-piece and two-piece styles. Intended for use with dental implants to support and/or retain removable dental prostheses in the treatment of partially or totally edentulous patients to restore chewing function. The abutment screws directly into endosseous implants or they screw into Abutment Bases which are screwed into endosseous implants.
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.
