EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF ABUTMENTS CONTENTS Definition Function & Ideal Abutment Types Classification Factors or Criteria for selection of an abutment Special problems ( Abutment) Reference ABUTMENT A tooth, a portion of a tooth or that portion of a dental implant that serves to support and/or retain a prosthesis.

PIER ABUTMENT It is a natural tooth located between terminal abutments that serve to support a fixed or removable prosthesis. CANTILEVER ABUTMENT DISTANT ABUTMENT The posterior or distal abutment which retain and The abutments which retain and support the lone pontic in anterior region.Usually support the pontic only on one side. used in diastema cases Can be one or more in number. IMPLANT ABUTMENT CRITERIA (FECTORS)FOR SELECTION OF AN ABUTMENT CRITERIA TOOTH LOCATION POSITION FORM CONDITION ROOT CROWN ROOT RATIO ROOT CONFIGURATION GINGIVOPERIODONTAL COMPLEX GINGIVA PERIODONTIUM CROWN TO ROOT RATIO This ratio is a measure of the length of the tooth occlusal to the alveolar crest of the bone compared with the length of the root embedded in the bone. The optimum crown to root ratio is 2:3,but the minimal ratio required is 1:1. ROOT CONFIGURATION Roots that are broader labio-lingually rather than mesio-distally are preferred to roots which are round in cross section. Multirooted posterior teeth with widely seperated roots offer better support than roots that converge, fuse or have a conical configuratio Periodontal ligament area-(Ante’s law)-combined pericemental area of all abutment teeth supporting a fixed dental prosthesis should be equal to or greater in pericemental area than the tooth or teeth to be replaced Maxillary Tooth The combined root surface area of the second premolar and the second molar (A2p+A2m) is greater than that of the first molar being replaced (A1m).

Two tooth pontic span will bend 8-times A three tooth pontic span bends 27times as much as a single pontic . Thick pontic Thin pontic SPECIAL PROBLEMS ARCH CURVATURE There is a common problem in replacing all four maxillary incisors occurs because the pontics lie outside the interabutment axis line and thus acts as a lever arm, which can produce a torquing movement. In order to offset the torque, additional retention is obtained in the opposite direction of the lever arm and at a distance from the interabutment axis equal to the length of the lever arm. Tilted molar abutment Some possible solutions to these problems are: Preparation modifications: • Tilting is slight – recontouring of mesial surface of 2nd molar • Tilting is severe – » orthodontic correction » Proximal half crown » A telescopic crown Canine replacement Fixed partial dentures replacing canines can be difficult because the canine often lies outside the interabutment axis. Maxillary forces are transmitted outward (labially) on the maxillary arch, against the inside of the curve (its weakest point). Mandibular On the mandibular canine, the forces are directed inward (lingually), against the outside of the curve (its strongest point).. PIER ABUTMENT .
