Conical Connection Cemented Abutments

What are conical-connection cemented abutments and when are they used?

Cemented abutments are prepared or pre-shaped abutments that accept a conventional crown/bridge retained with dental cement. On conical-connection implants, they’re selected when screw access is unfavorable or when margin control and esthetics are better served by a cementable approach. Selection is connection-driven (abutment must match the same conical platform), and collar height should reflect soft-tissue thickness. Clinicians seat/torque the abutment screw per IFU, place the crown with controlled cement, and record lot numbers and torque for traceability.

How do I choose collar height for a cemented abutment?

Match collar height to measured soft-tissue thickness so margins are cleanable and the emergence profile supports the gingiva without impingement.

When is a cemented abutment preferred over screw-retained?

Choose cementable when screw access is esthetically unfavorable or angulation limits a straight screw channel. Use screw-retained (MUAs) when retrievability and maintenance are priorities.

Do I need to torque the abutment screw before cementation?

Yes. Seat and torque the abutment screw to the IFU-specified value, verify stability, then cement the prosthesis. Record torque and lot number in the chart.

How do I control excess cement?

Use vented provisionals, cement spacer/minimal cement volume, and position margins to be accessible. Remove excess thoroughly to minimize peri-implant complications.

Are these abutments compatible with all conical implants?

They must match the exact conical platform of the fixture. Keep the entire stack—abutment, transfers/analogs, Ti-bases/screws—on the same platform.

Can I use digital workflows with cemented abutments?

Yes. Capture soft-tissue form with transfers & analogs or scan bodies; for hybrid abutment crowns, use conical Ti-bases and digital libraries.

Are products sterile and traceable?

Yes. Abutments ship sterile with lot numbers, IFUs, and torque guidance for audit-ready documentation.
