Q. Show the process of Healing abutment?
Healing abutments are therefore not considered ideal. It is for this reason that the definitive abutment, selected at first stage surgery, is considered to be ideal for attachment at this stage.
This enables the abutment that is ideally shaped for the proposed restoration to be connected at the time of implant exposure. Attachment of the definitive abutment at this stage of treatment prevents the repeated disconnection and reconnection of component parts. This has several benefits:
- It prevents excessive negative tissue reactions associated with repeated disconnection and reconnection.
- It avoids inaccuracies that are associated with repeated transfers of component parts between the surgery and laboratory.
- It reduces costs by avoiding the purchase of component parts required for transfer of information and additional laboratory procedures.
