During implantation, the doctor cuts the gum, screws a titanium rod into the jaw, and then sutures the mucous membrane. As a result of this operation, the natural gingival contour https://uniqa.dental/product-category/abutments/straight-abutment/ is disturbed and a correction, or gingival plastic surgery, is required. To restore the aesthetics of the gingival contour, a gingiva former is used. It is screwed in immediately after the installation of the implant or after 3-6 months. In this article, you will learn in more detail what a gum former is and why it is needed, how does this design differ from an abutment, how and for how long is it installed?
