Straight abutments are a support for a crown or a complex splinted structure if several teeth need to be repaired. You can buy straight abutment from Grade 23 medical titanium from us. This alloy is superior in strength to Grade 4 and slightly inferior to Grade 5 but exceeds the latter in terms of plasticity. This is critically important because the straight abutment is thin enough. Moreover, it has a hole for the fixing screw. The abutment strength is designed to easily withstand the functional load. However, the abutment should not exceed the strength of the root implant pin, so that in case of injury or other emergencies, the abutment is fractured first. The straight abutment serves as a mechanical fuse. Because if it serves as a lever, then a healed implant can injure a jaw bone, and you have to avoid that by all means. It is much easier to remove the crown and the abutment piece and then to restore the set of teeth anew than to heal the injured bone. Our products were made taking into account all the above-mentioned aspects.
Features of Uniqa Dental Straight Abutments
In the straight abutments section of our website, you can buy straight abutments for fixing the crown with cement. If you need components for screw retention, you will find them here: Multi-Unit systems.
As for straight abutments for cement retention, you can find the following options:
- All straight abutment heights used in clinical practice, from 4 to 7 mm.
- A standard hexagon connection platform, a conical connection of 22° and 24°.
- Please, pay attention to the height and shape of the platform for placing the crown. You can select options for any of the dental implant types:
- For subcrestal placement – placed by a couple of millimeters in bone tissue (first image on the left on the figure below);
- For subgingival placement – the implant is just above bone level (central image);
- For transgingival placement – the implant is placed at the margin level and the top part serves as a healing cap. This design is more often used in one-stage surgery of dental prosthesis placement (the image on the right).
The figure below shows several types of straight abutments that we manufacture. Please note that you can select and buy anatomical straight abutment (the image on the left) to support the margin with an uneven edge.
In terms of height to the edge, we have the following options:
- 1 mm;
- 2 mm;
- 3 mm;
- 4 mm;
- 5 mm.
All straight abutments for any platform type are made with the highest precision. This means that the tolerances are minimal—ones and tens of microns—while competitors’ products have tolerances of 100 microns. Precision in manufacturing dramatically reduces the risk of complications and loss of implants, especially when replacing joint implants. With high tolerances, there may be a situation where the abutment enters the implant connection freely, causing micromotion in the connection between the abutment and the implant. This, in turn, triggers loss of the patient’s bone. It is hard to see the difference with the naked eye.
For each abutment, there is a different type of screw, which perfectly fits the dimensions with minimum gaps. This also reduces the risk of spinning and loss of the crown.
In addition to permanent abutments, you also can buy healing caps from us.
Straight abutments can be used together with angled ones in complex restorations. If some implants are perpendicular to the bone (this requires straight abutments) and some implants are at an angle, this improves the distribution of load on the jaw. This increases the chances of the long-term survival of dental prostheses.
Compatibility of Uniqa Dental Straight Abutments with Common Platforms for Dental Prosthetics
There are dozens of unique designs for dental platforms in the world, and that is not always a good thing. If a new company was founded, presented its product, sold several thousand kits, and then closed down after five years or withdrew the range of unique designs, that is a problem.
Dental implants often require maintenance; there may be crown chipping and other difficulties. This requires the abutment with the crown to be changed and replaced with a new one. If the company has disappeared and you can no longer buy a straight abutment of the right configuration, you need to order an individual product by drawing or 3D model. This results in lost time and increased costs for such treatment.
So we have taken the path of maximum compatibility. Our dental implant parts are suitable for root implants of the most known manufacturers. As we have already mentioned, you can buy straight abutments for the hexagon and for cone 22°. See the full compatibility table below.
