Temporary Abutment compatible with BioHorizons® Internal Hex 3.5mm Platform — Hexed or Non-Hexed, Titanium Screw Included (TP-35TA-BHI)

What it is. A temporary abutment is a titanium post that carries a provisional crown or bridge for a short period while the gum settles and the permanent restoration is being made. It screws into the implant exactly as the final abutment will. It lets the patient leave with a tooth in place rather than a gap, and it lets the soft tissue mature against something close to the final shape.

How to use it

1. Screw the temporary abutment into the implant.
2. Shape or reduce it as the case requires.
3. Build or reline the provisional crown onto it.
4. Leave it in function while the gum matures and the final restoration is made.
5. Remove it and fit the definitive abutment and crown.

Also useful: the Titan Implant Locator Pin threads into the implant so the abutment slides over it and seats before you place the screw. It also lets you check implant parallelism. It is a seating tool, not an impression device, and it does not work with solid abutments, which have no through hole.
