A clinical reference guide to dental implant prosthetic components — understand each component’s role, function, and indications before you prescribe.
1. Cover Screw
Titanium cover screw used to seal the implant during the submerged healing phase.
Placed at the time of implant surgery when a two-stage (submerged) healing protocol is used.
2. Healing Abutment
Transmucosal healing component that shapes the peri-implant soft tissue during the healing phase.
Second-stage surgery after submerged healing, or at the time of implant placement in one-stage protocols.
3. Straight Abutment
Screw-retained abutment for single crown and bridge restorations on bone level implants.
Screw-retained single crown and bridge restorations on bone level implants.
4. Angled Abutment
Titanium abutment with angulation to compensate for implant axis divergence.
Screw-retained or cement-retained restorations where implant angulation needs correction.
5. Concave Abutment
Multi-unit abutment with concave profile for full arch and overdenture restorations.
All-on-4, All-on-6, implant-supported bridges, and overdenture cases.
6. Multi-Unit Abutment
Multi-unit abutment for implant-supported full arch and overdenture restorations.
All-on-4, All-on-6, implant-supported bridges, and overdenture cases.
7. Multi-Unit Angled Abutment
Angled multi-unit abutment for full arch restorations requiring angulation correction.
All-on-4, All-on-6, and overdenture cases with angulation correction.
8. Impression Coping — Open Tray
Precision impression component for implant position transfer using open tray technique.
Impression stage for crown, bridge, or overdenture fabrication.
9. Impression Coping — Closed Tray
Precision impression component for implant position transfer using closed tray technique.
Impression stage for crown, bridge, or overdenture fabrication.
10. Scan Body
Digital scan body for capturing implant position with intraoral or desktop scanners.
Digital workflows for implant-supported crowns, bridges, and full arch restorations.
11. Multi-Unit Scan Body
Scan body for multi-unit implant position capture in full arch digital workflows.
Digital impression workflow for full arch and multi-unit restorations.
12. Temporary Abutment
Abutment to support a temporary crown or bridge during the healing phase.
Immediate or delayed provisionalization of implant-supported restorations.
13. Ti-Base
Titanium base for CAD/CAM zirconia or ceramic crown fabrication on implants.
Screw-retained CAD/CAM ceramic or zirconia single crown restorations.
14. Locator Abutment
Retention abutment using the Locator system for implant-retained overdentures.
Implant-retained overdentures for edentulous patients.
15. Ball Abutment
Ball abutment for implant-retained overdentures using ball attachment retention.
Implant-retained overdentures using ball attachment retention.
16. Plastic / Castable Abutment
Castable abutment for custom laboratory fabrication of implant-supported restorations.
Custom restorations where prefabricated abutments do not meet clinical requirements.
17. Lab Analog
Implant replica used in the lab to simulate implant position in the working model.
Conventional (plaster model) prosthetic workflows following impression.
18. Digital Lab Analog
Implant replica for simulating implant position in digital working models.
Digital (CAD/CAM) prosthetic workflows following digital scan.
