Custom healing abutment performing The Spider Web Technique. A series of two cases.

Background: Bone and soft tissue remodeling after tooth loss is an inevitable physiological process. By placing immediate dental implants and performing a custom healing abutment (CHA), we can help achieve a stable emergence profile and reduce tissue volume loss. Purpose: The purpose of this work is to present a series of two clinical cases to show the Spider Web Technique for the creation of custom healing abutments (CHAs) chair-side in immediate implants. Material and Methods: We present two cases of lower molars with CHAs performed chair-side in the clinic using titanium abutments and flowable composite with the Spider Web Technique as an alternative to prefabricated titanium or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) ones. A brief discussion was held providing other techniques for carrying out CHAs. Results: The creation of CHAs was simple and fast and the postoperative period was very good. After the osseointegration period, the appearance of the peri-implant tissues, as well as the bone level, were optimal for making the definitive crown. Conclusions: The Spider Web Technique provides an effective way to create a CHA around a provisional titanium abutment immediately intraoperatively chair-side with low cost and predictable results. Comparative protocolized studies with others are necessary to obtain clear conclusions and protocols.
