Select the appropriate
abutment (we now offer two lengths) and try it into the implant by using your
HT.04, HT.10, or HT.11 and turn it to the
left.
Try-In using your HT.11.
Make sure the angled
abutments rotate freely. Next, using high speed
handpiece and a GW2 carbide bur, score the
post at approximate
vertical height required.
Screw the abutment into your hand held
post holder instrument. Using
a GW2 carbide bur to reduce the vertical height. Use a carbide
disc to create a slot on the
occlusal of the post if needed so
a screw driver can be used as a
driver.
Remember, the abutments have
left handed threads and
should rotate freely if they are
of the angled design. If any resistance is
felt, air abrade the threads with aluminum oxide
to allow free rotation during cementation.
Rinse the internal of the implant with
water. Acid etch the internal of
the implant and abutment
threads with 37% phosphoric acid.
Wash and dry. Cement using Resiment or
Panavia.
Carefully rotate the threaded post into place. Align the post to the predetermined position. Check for extrusion of
the cement through the vent
in the post.
Allow adequate time for cementing
agent to completely set. Be
sure to cement one abutment at a
time. Mix a new batch of cement
for each abutment as it sets up so
quickly.
Using abutments one
size smaller than the
diameter of the implant
creates a defined
shoulder. Chamfer the shoulder to
create a bevel on the implant.
Handpieces rotate
clockwise, our
abutments tighten
counter-clockwise.
This assures us of never loosening the post
during the preparation
process.
While most gross
dimensions are done outside of the mouth, touching up
these dimensions
should be done with copius amounts of water using
either SS White GWU16 or 18 carbide bur.
Using a diamond bur, prepare the abutment surface by
lightly roughening
the surface to aid in the
cementation of your crown.
Using a diamond bur,
perfect preparations and create
proper gingival
margins.
Place a anti-rotational groove on
the abutment
extending it onto the
body of the implant
The final preparations should have
proper gingival
margins and the anti-
rotational groove on
the body of the implant.
Some clinicians
use retraction cord while taking their
final impressions
Take a final impression with
crown and bridge
impression material.
Hydrocolloid impression
material works extremely well
with narrow diameter
implant posts.
