MS Implants Angulated Abutments - 1 Piece

Angulated abutment - An abutment whose body is not parallel to the long axis of the implant. It is utilized when the implant is at a different inclination in relation to the proposed prosthesis. Angulated abutments may be prefabricated and are available at varying angulations from 15° to 35° commercially. Several manufacturers offer abutments ranging from 0° to 60°. However, it is advisable to used angled abutments to correct angulations within 15°. Buccolingual Angulations of implants ranging from 0°-15° are easy to correct with preangled components. Angulation greater than 15° may be corrected with either pre-angled parts or custom-made components. A 15° angulation of a prefabricated abutment can create parallelism between adjacent abutments. Additionally, correcting an implant trajectory with a 15° angled abutment can shift a restoration approximately 1.0 to 1.5 mm at the occlusal aspect, and a 25° abutment can move it 2.0 to 2.5 mm. Loading an implant on an angled abutment is mostly off-axis which raises concern regarding the detrimental stresses exerted on the bone and the implant. Clinically, angled abutments have been considered as a viable restorative option when implants are not placed in ideal axial positions.
