Evaluation of Different Abutment Systems in Oral Implantology: From Conventional Methods to Innovative Cementless Solutions

Abstract

Applications in the field of oral implantology are increasingly utilized to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of tooth deficiencies and continue to evolve. Abutments, as superstructure components in implant-supported fixed prostheses, play a critical role in terms of mechanical durability, biocompatibility, and aesthetic outcomes. Modern systems developed in recent years aim to reduce complications observed in conventional prostheses. In particular, cementless systems have gained prominence to minimize the risk of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. This review examines different abutment systems used in implant-supported fixed prostheses from biomechanical, biological and aesthetic perspectives. Various abutment structures, categorized based on materials and retention types, are discussed, with a particular focus on the advantages offered by innovative systems according to the current literature. Although current approaches offer effective treatment options, future studies are important to further evaluate their clinical success, limitations and applicability.
