Multi-unit abutment
A multi-unit abutment is an abutment most commonly used with dental implants in "All-on-Four" protocols. They are designed for screw-retained group restorations, which are often used in combination with angled dental implants and whole arch replacements, as well as screw fixation of bridges made of zirconium or metal-ceramic group restorations to the implant.
Medical uses
Multi-unit abutments are used to align the prosthesis on a level restorative platform, adjust for variations in implant heights, and place the implant connection at the same level as or just below the gingival surface.Terminology
