Healing cap for MUA D-type compatible with Neodent® Multi Units

Yes, there are. They are made of Grade 23 titanium alloy – which allows many cycles of use. There are variants for classic impression-taking and making a plaster cast of the jaw. There is also a variant for modern digital dentistry where the jawbone is printed on a 3D printer.

They are essential for an accurate transfer of the position of the implant with the abutment already in place.  They are used when taking a “digital impression” with an intraoral scanner.

The only difference is in the base. While the classic implant analogue has a shank for fixation in the socket left by the transfer, the digital implant analogue has a threaded fixation and a base nut that fits in the 3D-printed model.

Yes, there are – these are sleeves of easily burnable, ashless plastic for casting high-precision custom crowns.

First, the multi-unit abutment is placed, which will form the basis for future restoration. A healing cap is placed on this abutment to form a soft tissue well around it in which the base of the dental restoration will be placed. The permanent abutment will not be removed, which means the gingiva will not be injured and the integrity of the gingival cuff will not be compromised. This reduces bone resorption around the implant.
