HEAL IN-PLACE ABUTMENT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001085050
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A prosthodontic assembly for installing a prosthetic tooth comprises a dental implant and abutment combination and a healing cap. The combination includes an implant body portion and an abutment portion. The implant body portion is located at a distal end of the combination and is configured to lie at least partially below a crest of a patient's jawbone. The abutment portion is located at a proximate end of the combination and is configured to lie at least partially above the crest of the patient's jawbone. The abutment portion comprises a flared portion, a shoulder portion and a final restoration portion. The shoulder portion lies between the flared portion and the final restoration portion. A healing cap includes a body portion having a proximal and a distal end. The body portion defines an inner cavity which is sized and adapted so that the healing cap fits over the final restoration portion. The healing cap further includes a tissue retraction flange at the distal end that extends below the shoulder portion when the healing cap is coupled to the abutment portion.
