Healing Cap
Healing Caps -
cylindrical and wide body
For standard use, the most common
healing caps are the cylindrical and wide
body types. Once the cover screw has
been removed, a diameter-matched healing
cap is manually inserted with use of
a screwdriver. When selecting the gingival
height, make sure that the healing
cap extends 1 - 1.5 mm above the gingiva.
When the peri-implant soft tissue has
stabilized, an impression is taken.
Healing Cap -
bottleneck
In esthetically challenging areas, the
treatment result will be enhanced
through the use of a healing cap
bottleneck.

Soft tissue growth
Healing cap, wide body
After 3-4 weeks (before final structuring
of the elastic fibers) a healing cap cylindrical
is inserted. No tissue should be
excised during this procedure. The tissue
is suppressed coronally and thereby
forms a papilla-like structure. Once the
periimplant soft tissue has stabilized, an
impression can be taken.
