Dental Implant Healing Caps & Healing Abutments

Healing caps by connection

• Internal hex healing caps (2.42/2.43 mm): Ultra-Slim Ø3.7, Slim Ø4.6, Normal Ø5.0, Concave Ø5.5 and Wide Platform Ø6.0 mm, in gingival heights from 1 to 8 mm.
• Conical connection healing caps (NP and RP): Ø3.6 and Ø5.0 mm for narrow and regular platforms, in 3, 5 and 7 mm gingival heights.
• Multi-unit healing caps: for General Multi-Unit and Prime Multi-Unit abutments during immediate or early loading.

How to choose a healing cap

• Connection and platform. Match the implant connection exactly: internal hex 2.42/2.43 mm, or conical NP/RP. Mixing systems compromises seating and soft-tissue stability. Not sure which platform you have? Check the dental compatibility chart.
• Gingival height. Measure soft-tissue thickness and choose a height that emerges just above the mucosa without compressing it.
• Diameter and profile. Ultra-slim and slim profiles suit narrow ridges and tight interproximal spaces. Normal and wide profiles support premolar and molar sites. The concave profile leaves room for soft-tissue volume where esthetics matter.

Healing cap, healing abutment or cover screw?

"Healing cap" and "healing abutment" are two names for the same component: a titanium transmucosal part used when the implant heals through the gingiva, either in a one-stage protocol or after second-stage exposure. A cover screw is different. It sits flush on the implant under closed mucosa in two-stage protocols. For indications, selection criteria and complications, read our clinical guide: Implant Healing Caps (Healing Abutments): A Clinical Guide.

After healing: matching restorative components

• Impressions: internal hex transfers & analogs or conical transfers & analogs
• Digital workflows: internal hex Ti-bases or conical Ti-bases
• Full-arch and screw-retained bridges: multi-unit abutments
• Provisional crowns: Temporary Aesthetic Abutment (Internal Hex 2.42)

Healing Caps & Healing Abutments FAQs

Are healing caps the same as healing abutments?

Yes. Healing cap, healing abutment, healing collar and gingival former all describe the transmucosal component that shapes the soft tissue around an implant before the final restoration.

Which healing cap fits my implant?

Pick the cap that matches your implant's connection (internal hex 2.42/2.43 mm or conical NP/RP), then choose the diameter and gingival height for the site. If you use another manufacturer's implants, confirm the platform on our compatibility chart before ordering.

Can I order healing caps in bulk?

Yes. Clinics and labs can combine healing caps with implants and abutments through our bulk order program.

Who can purchase Surcam healing caps?
