Argentina Market Report for Final Abutments 2017 - Unit Sales, ASPs, Market Value & Growth Trends - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Argentina Market Report for Final Abutments 2017 - MedCore" report to their offering.

The abutment market is segmented in terms of its production method. Abutments are predominantly pre-made and offered as a stock' abutment. Stock abutments represent the traditional abutment product and are popular because they are relatively inexpensive and efficient. Although the use of prefabricated abutments can be highly successful, less than ideal implant placement and soft tissue architecture problems can limit their application. In situations where stock abutments cannot establish proper margin definition and or develop the emergence profile, custom abutments are required.

Custom cast abutments (CCA) or universal clearance-limited abutments (UCLA) have long been workhorses in implant dentistry. These are the original custom' abutments and are typically of gold plastic' material. These abutments are created in a lab, based on an impression taken of all three planes of space surrounding the implant position. The impression is transferred directly to the laboratory where the technician fabricates a stone or plaster model and places in it an implant analog.

This model and analog precisely replicates the clinical orientation and position of the implant as obtained directly from the patient's mouth. A prefabricated plastic waxing sleeve is placed in the analog and is then sculpted by the technician in wax to establish proper internal fit and adaptation to the implant platform. The technician then refines the wax pattern to permit the development of optimal contours and emergence profile of the abutment as well as the future implant restoration.
