Temporary Abutments

Titanium Temporary Abutments

Temporary abutments are available in both Titanium and PEEK materials. Titanium temporary abutments are made of surgical grade titanium alloy Ti6Al4V.

Titanium Temporary Abutment Considerations

• Temporary abutments should be placed with gentle tapping, especially the 2.5mm posts.
• Temporary abutments are made of surgical grade titanium alloy Ti6Al4V.
• The hemispherical portion of a temporary abutment matches the profile of the corresponding non-shouldered abutment with the same diameter.
• Temporary abutments are designed to form a gingival sulcus and to preserve papillae during the one-stage surgical procedure or after a two-stage uncovering procedure.
• Choose an abutment height that is sufficient to laterally support the interproximal papillae without its being too tall such that it would receive undesirable forces from the tongue.
• The abutment height is measured from the top of the implant to the top of the abutment when the abutment is fully seated.
• Temporary abutments may be modified with a #1557 carbide bur or other carbide burs.

PEEK (PolyEther Ether Ketone) Temporary Abutments

PEEK temporary abutments are also available in multiple post sizes and configurations, offering an alternative to titanium options.
