Titanium Abutment 1 article

A Titanium Abutment is a metallic restorative connector made primarily from titanium and used between the implant fixture and a crown, bridge or other restoration. Titanium provides a machinable, biocompatible connection material and is commonly used for stock, custom and provisional or definitive abutment designs. Geometry, connection type and emergence profile are selected according to the implant system and prosthetic plan. The term identifies the abutment material and function; it is distinct from a zirconia abutment and from the titanium implant fixture placed in bone.
