Dental implant abutments play a pivotal role in the long-term success, function, and esthetics of implant-supported restorations. With the growing variety of abutment designs, materials, connection types, and restorative protocols available today, selecting the most appropriate abutment can often be challenging for clinicians. A thorough understanding of implant abutments is essential to achieve optimal prosthetic outcomes while minimizing biological and mechanical complications.
This webinar aims to simplify the complexities surrounding dental implant abutments by providing a comprehensive overview of their classification, indications, advantages, and limitations. Participants will gain insights into stock versus custom abutments, screw-retained versus cement-retained restorations, titanium, zirconia, and hybrid abutment materials, as well as various implant-abutment connection designs. Clinical considerations influencing abutment selection in both anterior and posterior regions will be discussed through practical examples and evidence-based recommendations.
By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with a structured approach to abutment selection, enabling them to make informed restorative decisions that enhance esthetics, function, and long-term implant success.
