Rehabilitation Using Morse Taper Design Implant Abutment Connection-a Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Tooth replacement with dental implants not only restores function and esthetics but also improves confidence and self esteem. Success and predictability of dental implants depends on appropriate case selection, good occlusal harmony, and careful management of hard and soft tissues and maintenance of good oral hygiene. A 35 year old male with a missing 12 was rehabilitated with an ankylose implant which has a unique morse taper connection abutment. The resultant implant gave excellent esthetics function.
