Abstract

|
The surface characteristics of the dental implant abutment, which penetrates through the gingival mucosa and is exposed to the oral cavity, could play an important role in not only bacterial adhesion and stagnation but also biocompatibility. In fact, the presence of contaminants at the implant abutment connection has been suggested as a cause of associated tissue inflammation and activating factor for osteoclastogenesis. Nowadays, esthetic demands in implant dentistry are greatly increasing, thus the use of customized abutments is increasing noticeably. However, evidence for the quality of preparation on abutment surface topography is insufficient. The influence of the conventional cleaning procedures of customized implant abutments has not yet been investigated or verified as reliable. The purpose of the current review is to briefly describe and characterize the surface topography and cleanliness of customized abutment.
