Dental prosthesis/implant abutment screw A non-sterile device intended to be used short- or long-term to attach a dental implant abutment and/or prosthesis (e.g., crown, bridge) to a dental implant during dental restorative procedures. It is made of metal [e.g., titanium (Ti)] and consists of a rod-like fastener inserted through the abutment/prosthesis. This is a single-use device intended to be sterilized prior to use
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.
