Purpose of Abutment Duplication Method
Main purpose of abutment duplication – to reduce to the minimum the number of hardly useful and unpleasant manipulations connected with extracting of abutments from the oral cavity and their replacement during clinical stages of prosthetics on implants. Owing to abutment duplication, most clinical stages of prosthetics on implants (up to completion of manufacture of prosthetic structure) are carried out in a situation when the abutments are permanently fixed in the oral cavity. Thus, in most of the laboratory stages, not abutments, but their duplicates are used. Analoyd design allows to utilize the concept of abutment duplication without using expensive technologies. It is affordable to all dentists and dental technicians; it also significantly simplifies laboratory and clinical stages of prosthetics on implants; and most importantly, it is helpful to the patient.
