Straumann® Ceramic Healing Abutments offer conditions for soft-tissue attachment, supporting a healthy peri-implant environment. The zirconia material helps surgeons and prosthodontists looking for less plaque attachment and enhances soft tissue healing from the day of surgery.

Favorable soft-tissue attachment

More favorable soft tissue attachment around zirconia than titanium, with blood circulation similar to that around a natural tooth.1-2
Designed for healthy peri-implant environment

Less plaque attachment on zirconia due to smoother surface compared to titanium.2-3,8-9 
Ease of use

Aspiration-security thanks to integrated screw.
Color-coding to clearly identify the corresponding prosthetic platform.
Esthetics from the day of surgery

Ceramic abutments for the healing phase. 
Final restoration using Straumann® Cares® ceramic options.
