1. From the perspective of aesthetics
Pure titanium abutment is a metal material, which is not advantageous in aesthetic restoration, and its metal inner crown is easy to change color over time.
When using pure titanium abutment, the gingival soft tissue needs to be more than 3mm to ensure that the metal color will not be exposed. If the thickness of the gingival soft tissue is only 2mm, an all-ceramic abutment is required.
2. From the perspective of hardness
Compared with pure titanium abutment, the hardness of all-ceramic abutment is low, it is more brittle, and easy to break porcelain.
3. From the perspective of use
Generally, in order to ensure aesthetics, the advantage of choosing all-ceramic abutment for anterior tooth restoration is more obvious, and the overall result is also better; pure titanium abutment is more suitable for posterior molar restoration.
4. From the perspective of price
The charge of all-ceramic abutment will be slightly more expensive than that of pure titanium abutment.
In general, pure titanium abutments and all-ceramic abutments each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific material of the implant abutment you want to choose needs to be decided based on each person's specific situation, as well as the location of the missing teeth and the chosen hospital and doctor!
