  • Title: Dynamic Abutment: A method of redirecting screw access for implant-supported restorations: Technical details and a clinical report.
    Author: Berroeta E, Zabalegui I, Donovan T, Chee W.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2015 Jun; 113(6):516-9. PubMed ID: 25794919.
    Abstract:
    The esthetic outcome of implant-supported restorations is affected by the implant position. A well-placed implant will allow appropriate contours of the restoration and together with an adequate volume of soft tissue will result in a functional and esthetic restoration. When a screw-retained restoration is anticipated, an implant that is angled too far facially would be esthetically unacceptable. In 2004, an abutment called the Dynamic Abutment (Talladium International Implantology) became commercially available. This abutment can allow a deviation of the restoration screw access angle to the implant angle of up to 28 degrees while allowing a screw-retained restoration to be connected directly to the platform of the implant. The purpose of this article was to describe the components, technique, and clinical use of this abutment.
