implantaatpinna

An implantaatpinna, also known as a dental implant post or abutment, is a crucial component in the process of replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant. Following the surgical placement of a titanium implant into the jawbone, the implantaatpinna serves as the connector between the implant and the visible crown of the tooth. It is typically made of titanium or zirconia, materials chosen for their biocompatibility and strength.

After the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration, the implantaatpinna is attached. This can be done in one or two stages, depending on the surgical technique used. In a one-stage procedure, the implantaatpinna is placed at the same time as the implant. In a two-stage procedure, a temporary healing cap is placed over the implant, and the implantaatpinna is attached in a subsequent procedure after the gum tissue has healed. The implantaatpinna is designed to protrude slightly above the gum line, providing a stable base for the dental crown, which is then cemented or screwed onto it. The precise angle and height of the implantaatpinna are critical for ensuring the final crown has a natural appearance and proper bite.
