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.
