An excellent dental implant act appears and feels like the original teeth. There is a wide range of dental treatments available for patients, such as retained dentures, direct to fixture implants, multi-unit dental implants, or overdenture implants. To clear all the queries, we have created a guide about the multi unit abutment. It will help you in understanding the details and working. Before we deep dive into Multi-unit abutment, let’s find out the meaning of general dental abutment. So, abutment is a major component for the restoration of a dental implant. It provides a connection between the prosthesis and the dental implant.
Understand Multi-Unit Implant Abutment Basically, MUA (multi-unit abutment) is used in different implant scenarios. The whole mouth arch is replaced with a multi-unit implant abutment. Also, it is used with zygomatic implants. It gets implanted and anchored to the zygomatic bone. This is a very beneficial implant scenario. While replacing the whole arch, multiple implants are embedded in the jaw of the patient. For attaching the overdenture, its important abutments angled appropriately. It helps the prosthesis, and it is where multi-unit abutments come in.
Two types of multi- unit abutments Straight Angled The problems like different tooth alignments or angulations varying bone type can make the requirement for various abutment angulations over a single multi-unit restoration. Furthermore, in such cases, straight multi-unit abutments are not suitable for specific implant sites. So, you rather use an angled multi-unit abutment. Usually, this type of abutments is specifically angulations. It is found across many implant brands, such as; 17°,0°, 45°, and 30°.
How to use a multi-unit abutment After post-surgical healing of the implant site, you can do the placement of the multi- unit abutments. And at this moment, you can take an impression prosthetic. of an important Step : 1 Step : 2 Step : 3 Step : 4 Use a screwdriver to remove the healing abutment and use counterclockwise rotation. Use the right tool, and try to screw the abutment in the implant till you feel the resistance. However, don’t try to tighten the screw. In the fourth step, it is time to get an oral impression. You can either take a digital impression or a standard impression with the help of an intraoral scan. It generally happens in the case when performing with CAM/CAD equipment. Suppose you are making the prosthesis (whether sent to a laboratory or prepared in- house), connect either a healing cap or a temporary restoration to the multi-unit abutment.
