The healing abutment, also known as the healing cap, is a temporary device used to connect the oral soft tissue to the implant after the implant is implanted.
Its main function is to protect the stability of the implant during the healing process, while guiding the healing of soft tissue, helping to shape the gingival margin, and promoting a good combination of the implant and the surrounding tissue.

Material and shape:
The healing abutment is usually made of titanium alloy or materials with good biocompatibility. It is mostly cylindrical or conical in shape, and the surface is specially treated to promote soft tissue attachment and healing.

Advantages:
Promote healing: The healing abutment can protect the implant from external interference and promote soft tissue healing.
Reduce the risk of infection: By guiding the growth of soft tissue, the healing abutment helps reduce the risk of infection around the implant.
Easy to maintain: After installing the healing abutment, patients can clean their mouths more easily and maintain hygiene around the implant.
