Restoration of partially edentulous patients using customized implant abutments.

The ideal placement of implants is not always possible in partially edentulous patients. The diverse and unique implant positions that occur in clinical practice may be difficult or impossible to restore through the use of conventional abutments. Customized abutments permit the fabrication of aesthetic restorations that correct deficiencies in implant angulation, alignment, and position. These abutments also enhance the soft tissue emergence profile of the restorations and allow the prosthetic margins to be properly positioned in all dimensions. Additional benefits include ease of treatment delivery and comparative expense.

Implants in the partially edentulous patient: restorative considerations.

Restorative considerations are critical to the long-term success of fixed implant-supported prostheses, especially in the posterior quadrants of the partially edentulous patient. The parafunctional habit of bruxism must be identified and addressed. The restoration should dictate implant placement. Control of forces directed upon the prosthesis and implants is critical to long-term success. Anatomic limitations to implant placement and surgical procedures to correct these deficiencies must be considered for their impact on the prosthetic restoration. Nonaxial forces or bending moments should be minimized by the use of an adequate number, position and alignment of implants; by control of the occlusion; and by design of the prosthesis. The patient must understand the risks, limitations, costs and time commitments of implant restorations prior to treatment.
