Single Implant to Custom-made Abutment Manufacture with Screw-Vent^®

Abstract

The view points of recent dental implant that had established a concept of osseointegration have been more strongly esthetic requirement especially in the site of premolar or anterior teeth. However, the former type of standard abutment have not been corresponded to these esthetic cases. Accordingly, the purpose of this present report was to introduce the technique of my custom-made abutment for Screw-Vent Implant^® (Dentsply Co.) that was devised for esthetic and good adaptation between fixture and abutment and to discuss about advantage or disadvantage points of these abutments.
The case was 56 years old female and was placed a Screw-Vent Implant^® (Dentsply Co.) in anterior site on maxilla. The base of connection to fixture of this custom-made abutment was manufactured standard plastic sleeve, and the part of abutment was in casting metal by original form. The results suggest the following advantage points :
1) good effective for strong angulation case of anterior site
2) acquire the free space for manufacturing of superstructure
3) acquire good adaptation between the abutment and the fixture
4) available for cementing the superstructure
