ABSTRACT:
A healing cap for use in the second stage of dental implantology covers the implanted prosthesis and shields its upper surface from overgrowth of gum tissue, and at the same time maintains an opening through the fleshy gum tissue that overlies the implant. This cap is shown to be useful without as well as with an intervening transmucosal abutment. A unique holder/driver enables the healing cap to be located and fixed in place in remotely accessible places in the mouth with minimal requirement for manual dexterity.
