Angled abutments

The effective rehabilitation of lost teeth is possible by adopting dental implants in either fully or partially edentulous patients and eventually, restoring the masticatory ability. The key to a successful implant restoration is the position of the prosthesis. However, dentists seldom encounter ideal bone commensurate with the prosthesis, which leads to undesirable implant angulations and the use of angled abutments for appropriate prosthetic rehabilitation. The angled implant abutments range from 15 to 45 degrees. Using angled abutments can facilitate placement of implants with larger dimensions, and also permit numerous patients to avail implant treatment that otherwise would require guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures.
