In general, the dental implant abutment and implant are mainly connected by threaded connection technology. The specific analysis is as follows:
The implant is a device implanted in the mandible or maxillary bone to replace the lost natural tooth root, and the dental implant abutment is the key component connecting the implant and the artificial crown. Its advantage is that it enhances the stability between the implant and the artificial crown, and is convenient for doctors to disassemble and adjust. Before connecting the dental implant abutment and the dental implant, the doctor will prepare a hole of appropriate size at the patient's tooth loss, and then implant the implant into the hole. Because the implant is usually made of materials with strong biocompatibility such as titanium and titanium alloy, it will be combined with the alveolar bone after a period of time. After the implant is stable, the doctor will use screws to fix the implant abutment to the implant to ensure that the two are closely connected. Finally, the doctor will adhere the artificial crown to the implant abutment.
It should be noted that the connection between the implant and the implant abutment needs to be carried out under the guidance of the doctor to avoid damaging the parts and affecting the effect of the dental implant. If you do not pay attention to regular care, the screws connecting the two may become stripped, which may cause the artificial crown to become loose. You need to replace the screws in time under the guidance of a doctor.
