Some of people maybe knows dental implant surgery,and know there are some tools need to use,implant,abutment and others.But what is dental abutment?

When it comes to dental implants, most people are familiar with the implant itself and the crown or bridge. However, one part of the ensemble is rarely discussed: the abutment.
A dental implant abutment is a small object usually made of titanium or zirconia, which serves as a connection between the dental implant and the crown or another dental restoration. Not only does it serve as a connection, it also helps shape the gums in a healthy and aesthetic way around the dental restoration. The material used for the abutment will affect the strength and aesthetics, so you should carefully consider when choosing the appropriate abutment.
Usually, a dentist may choose to use a healing abutment immediately after implant surgery to cover the hollow center of the dental implant and promote healthy gum development. The abutment will not attach to the dental implant, but will still play a key role in correct healing.
Dentists can choose a customized abutment to match the patient's body. This is especially important in the area that is very visible in the mouth when smiling, to ensure that the crown looks like it is protruding smoothly from the gums.
Another issue that the dentist needs to consider is deciding whether to glue the crown directly to the abutment or tighten it. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the screw holes in the crown may weaken the structure of the crown, or may produce excessive gums and cause gum inflammation.
Abutments come in various shapes and sizes, but you can count on your dentist to be trained to choose the right abutment for a given situation.
