The Stella is intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, restoring the patient's chewing capabilities. The Stella is intended for delayed loading and immediate loading is possible when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.The Stella Abutment is intended to be connected to the dental implant to retain the overdenture or partial denture.
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.
