There are two different types of abutments that a dental implant surgeon can choose to use depending on the type of restoration needed and the patient’s biological, aesthetic, and functional needs. Which abutment is selected plays an important role in the overall success of a dental implant and should be done carefully. A non hexed or non hex abutment are generally used when dental prosthetic units need to be connected, such as in the case of a bridge. This is due to the fact that using hex abutments for this purpose is quite difficult, and placement can be challenging due to line of insertion. In contrast, hex abutments are typically utilized for any dental restoration that has the potential to rotate in the mouth, such as a single crown. Hex abutments help prevent rotation, and are not needed to stabilize dental prosthetics that are joined together.
