ABSTRACT:
Specially designed healing caps with varied bottom surfaces and different shaped channels and diverse shaped lockwashers for obviating loosening of the healing cap when screwed into an implant fixture. The healing cap has a retaining screw separate from the cap body and the combination of healing cap and lockwasher also prevents breakage of the cap body or fixture or both due to excessive torque and prevents gingiva from growing over the fixture at any point.
