Implant components

There are three systems for placement and surgery for the two-piece implant system, including fixture and abutment.

1- Two-stage implant system, in which the implant is buried under the gum and inside the jawbone. And after the steve integration period, the second stage of surgery is performed to remove the tip of the implant from under the gum. Which is temporarily closed with a healing abutment or so-called gum shaper. After two weeks, with the gum healing, the molding operation and finally closing the main abutment and cementing the dental crown are completed.

2- One-stage implant system, also called one stage. In this method, in addition to burying the implant inside the bone by closing the healing abutment from the very beginning, the second stage of surgery, namely opening the gum, is eliminated. No special load or pressure is applied to the implant. And the steve integration stage is passed in this way. And directly after this stage, the impression and prosthesis operation begins.

3- Immediate implant implantation system: In this method, all three stages including implant placement, abutment closure, impression, and finally preparation of the prosthesis either in advance by digital processing or by impression, are completed within 48 hours. And during the period when the implant withstands the load and pressure, Steve integration is also performed.

In the image below, all three stages of implant implantation are shown: two-stage in image A, single-stage in image B, and immediate or immediate in image C.
