Internal Hex Healing Caps

Predictable soft-tissue shaping with multiple cuff heights, sterile delivery, and clear torque guidance.

Optimize soft-tissue healing and emergence profiles with Surcam’s Internal Hex Healing Caps. Machined from Grade 5 titanium and available in multiple cuff heights, these transmucosal healing abutments support single- and multi-unit cases, immediate or second-stage protocols, and seamless transition to impressions and definitive prosthetics. Each cap ships sterile, lot-tracked, and includes IFU torque guidance.

What are internal-hex healing caps and when are they used?

Internal-hex healing caps (healing abutments) are transmucosal components placed after implant surgery—either immediately or at second stage—to guide gingival healing and create the emergence profile for the final crown or bridge. Selection is connection-driven: the cap must match the implant’s internal-hex platform, and cuff height should reflect soft-tissue thickness. Clinicians document torque values and lot numbers for traceability before progressing to impressions and definitive abutments.

Internal Hex Healing Caps FAQ

How do I choose cuff height for a healing cap?

Match cuff height to measured soft-tissue thickness at the implant site so the cap supports tissue without impingement. Too short risks tissue overgrowth; too tall can compromise emergence and esthetics.

Can healing caps be placed at the time of implant surgery?

Yes. In immediate protocols, a healing cap may be placed to begin tissue contouring at surgery. Alternatively, place it at second-stage exposure once osseointegration is confirmed.

Do healing caps affect the final emergence profile?

They pre-shape the gingiva. Proper height/diameter selection helps create a cleanable emergence profile that simplifies impression-taking and improves crown esthetics.

When should I switch from a healing cap to impression components?

After soft tissues stabilize (per your protocol), replace the cap with transfers (for conventional impressions) or proceed to scan bodies/Ti-bases for digital workflows—maintaining tissue form during the handoff.

Are these components sterile and traceable?

Yes. Surcam healing caps ship sterile with lot numbers and IFU torque guidance for audit-ready documentation.

Are healing caps compatible with all internal-hex implants?

They must match the exact internal-hex platform (e.g., Internal Hex 2.42/2.43) of the fixture. Keep the entire stack—healing cap, transfers/analogs, Ti-bases—on the same platform for predictable seating and torque.
