The cover screw is a protective component used during the initial healing phase after implant placement. Its primary role is to seal and protect the dental implant from external factors, such as debris, saliva, or bacterial invasion, while the surrounding bone and tissues heal.
Ensures the implant is safeguarded from contamination.
Maintains the integrity of the implant site during osseointegration.
Provides a flush surface to avoid irritation to surrounding tissues.
The healing abutment, also known as a healing collar, is used after the healing phase to shape and prepare the surrounding gum tissue (gingiva) for the final restoration. It allows the soft tissue to contour around the abutment, creating a natural emergence profile for the prosthesis.
Shapes the gingiva for an optimal fit with the final crown or bridge.
Available in various sizes and heights to accommodate different clinical scenarios.
Easy to place and remove during follow-up procedures.
Promotes aesthetic outcomes by enhancing tissue adaptation.
