Dental Implant Terminology: Understanding Abutments and Tissue Formers
This educational video provides a detailed insight into dental implant terminology. The speaker explains the concepts of tissue formers or healing caps, which are placed after fixing the implant to prevent the need for reopening the patient for gaining access to the implant later. The video also delves into different types of abutments, including non-indexing abutments, single implant abutments, impression abutments, and multi-unit abutments. It ends by discussing the use of angle correcting, which helps in fixing implants avoiding sinuses or nerves, and the multi-unit concept involving implants and two abutments under a bridge.
