Systematic Review of Variations Fixture and Abutment Dental Implant Based on Material, Implant Position, and Patient's Specific Condition to Achieving Optimal Results

This study discusses fixture and abutment variations in dental implants, with a focus on clinical indications and results from recent case studies. Research shows that the connection between the implant and the abutment is a key factor in the effectiveness of implant therapy, with internal connection designs offering advantages in reducing complications. Selection of the appropriate abutment, based on material, implant position, and patient's specific condition, is critical to achieving optimal results. Additionally, patient quality of life is influenced by the prosthetic method chosen, with implant supported prostheses continuing to show better results compared with removable partial dentures (RPD). Innovations in abutment design, such as the two-piece abutment concept and conometric connections, show potential to improve clinical outcomes, but challenges in acceptance of new technologies remain. This article emphasizes the need for better education and training for practitioners as well as more research to overcome the challenges that exist in dental practice.
