It is crucial to use a healing cap that is fully compatible with the implant. There are several types of abutment available- including conical. OEMDent provides different platforms and lengths of healing caps to fit with specific implant products from brands such as Alfa Gate.
Matching the conical healing cap size to the size of the dental implant is essential, as an incorrect fitting could lead to complications and reduce the efficacy of the abutment. All are compatible with Alfa Gate implants, but they are not one-size-fits-all by any means.
Conical healing caps are applied on top of the implant site after surgery. They are fitted in a one-step or two-step process, depending on the type of implant they are compatible with. The temporary abutment is connected to the implant in the first healing stage and remains there until the soft tissue around the implant site has healed.
Yes, they do- in more ways than one. First of all, they give the soft tissue space to heal around the implant post once it is fitted. This reduces the chance of irritation and complications with the implant.
Secondly, it prevents plaque, food bits, and other debris from building up around the post. The healing cap provides extra protection for gums by keeping the area cleaner and less susceptible to inflammation and infection.
