Dental implants are widely used and have proved to be a valid treatment with a high success rate.1 This high rate is due to the ability of the implanted material to integrate with the surrounding bone.2 Dental implants are used in restoring completely edentulous jaws as well as in replacing single and multiple missing teeth. The dental implant which is used to replace a single missing tooth usually consists of the implant body and the abutment to which the restoration will be attached. Several implant systems and abutment types are available from different manufacturers and familiarity with all of these types may be difficult. This book provides in depth information on the various types of abutments in implantology and its impact on oral mucosa in health.
