There are several protocols for loading dental implants after surgery based on bone density and healing time requirements. Protocols include Brånemark's loading protocol, progressive loading, and immediate/early loading. The density of the bone where the implant is placed determines the appropriate loading protocol, as less dense bone requires more healing time before loading to allow for sufficient bone mineralization and strength. Progressive loading gradually increases stress on the implant over time to allow the bone to adapt, reducing risks of failure. It is particularly important for lower density bone which is weaker.

A- Retention of Removable Partial DenturesAmal Kaddah
1. Retention of removable partial dentures depends on mechanical and physiological factors. Mechanical retention includes direct retainers, indirect retainers, and frictional fit provided by parts of the denture engaging tooth and tissue undercuts.
2. Common means of mechanical retention are clasps and attachments. Clasps have a retentive arm, bracing arm, and occlusal rest. Properly designed clasps follow principles like encircling teeth, providing retention in undercuts, supporting occlusal rests, and having reciprocal and bracing arms.
3. Factors like amount of undercut, angle of convergence, clasp flexibility, and material affect a clasp's retentive force.
Appropriate selection of the implant biomaterial is a key factor for long term success of implants. The biologic environment does not accept completely any material so to optimize biologic performance, implants should be selected to reduce the negative biologic response while maintaining adequate function.
The document discusses the use of surgical guides for accurate dental implant placement. It provides several examples of techniques for fabricating surgical guides using diagnostic wax-ups, casts, radiographic markers and computed tomography scans.

The document outlines the key elements that make up a good project funding proposal, including an introduction describing the project aim and qualifications, a need statement, measurable objectives and goals, an evaluation plan, a budget summary and detailed budget, and plans for follow-up funding. A good proposal provides all necessary information on these elements to convince the funding agency to support the project.
The document discusses principles of oral surgery including access, visibility, and flap design. It states that adequate access requires wide mouth opening and retraction of tissues away from the surgical field. Improved access can be gained by creating surgical flaps using incisions. Key principles of incisions and flap design are outlined such as using a sharp blade, firm strokes, avoiding vital structures, and designing flaps to ensure adequate blood supply and healing. Common flap types including triangular, trapezoidal, envelope, and semilunar flaps are described. Careful handling of tissues is also emphasized to minimize damage.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

2. • Implants introduce to clinical dentistry a new lexicon of terminology that
needs to be understood by all parties involved in implant dentistry the
clinician, the patient, and the auxiliary support personnel.
• The implant, formerly referred to as a fixture, is the principal
component of any implant system and is supplemented by a host of
ancillary components.
• Modern implants are generally two-piece, consisting of the implant that is
osseointegrated in bone, and the abutment that is attached to the
implant and supports the prosthesis.
• Some one-piece implants, with an integral abutment are also available,
for example, the Nobel Biocare Nobeldirect ® implant.
2
3. • The Brånemark system was a two-piece implant with an
external hex anti-rotation feature.
• ITI initially used a one-piece implant abutment combination,
IMZ had a screw connection with no anti-rotation feature, and
Tübingen had a proprietary post connection.
• Other manufacturers involved in early implant development
were Core-vent, 3i, Astra, Bicon, and, more recently
Biohorizons, Camlog, Southern implants, and others.
3
4. • From a practical standpoint, the profession needs reliable
manufacturers and suppliers of comprehensive systems.
• Implant pioneers, such as Brånemark and Schroeder, worked in
tandem with manufacturing companies to research, develop, and
engineer systems that were brought to the marketplace.
• Development of the early systems was empirical, both clinically and
biomechanically. The pioneers designed and optimized implant
shapes that could osseointegrate and maintain integration, and
connection systems that could support functioning restorations

abutment (courtesy of Nobel Biocare).
5
6. Implant Materials
• Most modern implants are manufactured from commercially pure titanium grade 4
(CPTi).
• Yield strength and O 2 content increase from grade 1 through grade 4.
Occasionally, a Ti-alloy, called aircraft-grade titanium (Ti-6/4 or Ti6Al4V or grade
5 Ti), is used. It consists of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, and
has many industrial applications.
• Other implant materials that are used include tantalum (Ta), which is used by
Zimmer, and zirconium (Zr), which is used by Straumann.
• In the past, Tübingen implants were made from solid aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3),
while other implants used plasma-sprayed surface coatings of Ti or CaPO 4 .
6
7. • Ti oxides form a passivating layer on Ti implants, largely preventing
further dissolution, while providing the chemicals that are
responsible for the biochemical reaction with bone.
• Modern surfaces may be machined, but most have proprietary
textured surfaces. Some implants with CaPO4 surfaces had
problems with dissolution in body tissues and breakdown in
osseointegration (spiekermann 1995).
• There is very little long-term clinical data for CaPO4-coated
implants. Wataha (1996) has comprehensively reviewed implant
materials.
7
8. Evolution of Implant Systems
Evolution of Systems
• The earliest system to enter the world market- place was Nobelpharma’s
Brånemark system from Sweden. This was followed by Straumann/
Bonefit/ITI from Switzerland, CoreVent and implant innovations/3i within
the United States, IMZ from Germany, and others.
• Over the past 30 years, convergence of implant systems has occurred,
with implant companies providing a range of largely similar products with
slight variation often related to details of shape, thread design,
connection, abutment, and surface texture. 8
9. • Innovations such as internal connections, surface texturing,
and platform-switching have been rapidly adopted and
incorporated into all the major systems.
• Some companies (Dentsply) offer several implant systems.
Although there are many similarities between implant systems,
components and tools are not generally intercompatible.
• However, within systems, components and tools are often
“back-compatible.”
9
10. Modern Implant Systems
• Currently, there is an abundance of implant systems and components to satisfy most
surgical and restorative situations.
• Modern dental implant systems comprise a comprehensive array of precision
instruments, components, interactive software and techniques for creation of implant
restorations. Instruments and components are generally color-coded for ease of
identification and use.
• There are treatment planning, surgical and restorative armamentaria supplied by the
implant companies, together with educational, logistical, and laboratory support
networks.
• In addition, detailed instructions are provided for the use of each system, surgical and
restorative, and pertinent literature relating to the system, it’s nuances and indications.
10
11. Implant Shape, Surface, and Connection
• Significant changes have occurred with implant design in
terms of shape, thread design surface texture, and
connection design in response to demand for implant use in
softer bone and prosthetic flexibility.
• The change to an internal connection was a significant step
forward in implant evolution and clinical utility
11

13. Implant-level Impression Coping and Implant-
level Restoration (UCLA Abutment)
• Early brånemark implants had used an intermediary transmucosal
abutment (cylinder) attached to the implant which compromised the
aesthetics of crown and bridgework and encroached on the crown
height space.
• Implant- level impression copings and the implant-level
abutments (UCLA abutment) were introduced by Lewis et al. (1988,
1992) as clinicians endeavored to produce more aesthetic fixed
restorations.
13
14. • The implant-level impression coping allowed the reproduction of the
implant position and surrounding soft tissue on a laboratory cast.
• This enabled a crown to be shaped so that it emerged from the implant
platform and through the mucosa in a manner similar to a natural tooth.
• The intermediary transmucosal abutment of the Brånemark design was
thus eliminated for single crowns and bridges, and the final restorative
abutment or crown (incorporating the UCLA abutment) was screwed
directly to the implant.
• The UCLA abutment was an important development, allowing great
prosthetic flexibility.
14
15. Prefabricated Customizable Abutments
• Along with the UCLA abutment, implant companies started to
produce standardized prefabricated abutments of different
shapes and lengths in Ti or ceramic (Al 2 O 3 or ZrO 2 ), which
could be torqued into the implant and form the equivalent of a
tooth preparation for conventional crown and bridgework.
• Some of these were designed to be modified or customized
depending on the clinical situation. The final restoration could
be cemented in place. 15
16. Computer-aided Design (CAD) and Computer-aided
Manufacturing (CAM) of TI and Ceramic
Abutments
• Gradually, abutments became available in ceramic materials to
meet aesthetic demands.
• Eventually, abutments could be custom fabricated by
CAD/CAM techniques for optimum configuration and
aesthetics. We are approaching a juncture when intraoral
digital scanning for CAD/CAM prosthetics will rapidly become
the norm. 16
17. Interactive Software, and Instrumentation
for Computer-guided Surgery and Prosthetics
• Many companies provide interactive treatment planning software (e.g.,
NobelClinician™) that utilizes computed tomography (CT) data and
customized implant guides to plan and guide implant placement.
• Custom surgical guides can be manufactured, and special drill kits are
available for guided surgery. This technology further interfaces with
CAD/CAM technology for the fabrication of immediate restorations to be
inserted at the time of surgery.
17
18. SURGICAL INSTRUMENTATION
• Implant companies provide high quality surgical
instrument sets with instructions for use, maintenance
and sterilization.
18
20. (a) Implant surgical set (courtesy of
Nobel Biocare). (b) Osteotome set and
implant site preparation guide for soft
bone (courtesy of CAMLOG).
20
21. Guidelines are also furnished for osteotomy preparation:
⮚ Sterile implant vials with implant data labels
⮚ Step-by-step instructions for osteotomy preparation
⮚ Surgical engines and handpieces with suitable irrigation devices
⮚ Color-coded drills with millimeter markers that correspond to the implant shape and length
⮚ Direction indicators and depth guides with millimeter markers
⮚ System of graded osteotomes for preparation of soft bone sites
⮚ Unique drills as needed for accommodating specific implant collar shapes
⮚ Tapping drills for thread creation in dense bone
⮚ Tissue punch devices and bone mills to be used when uncovering implants at second-stage
surgery.
21
22. • The clinician must be aware of instrument dimensions and
sharpness of drills. Dull drills, with or without excessive
pressure, may cause bone damage and implant failure.
• Many implant companies are introducing single-use bone
drills. Implants are supplied sterile in sealed vials, with
custom connections for insertion drivers (motor or hand).
Press-fit implants have mallet devices for tapping the
implants into the prepared osteotomy
22
24. FEATURES OF ENDOSSEOUS IMPLANTS
THREAD DESIGN
• The original Brånemark implant was a cylindrical Ti self-tapping
screw. It had a smooth machined surface, and the threads
extended from the apical end to the collar and restorative
platform.
• Threads enable good primary stability and increase the
effective surface area of an implant, thereby increasing the
potential area for bone contact and force transmission to bone.24
25. Nobel Biocare Brånemark Mark III and
Mark IV implants with modifications to
collar, grooves, and apical designs (from
left to right) (courtesy of Nobel Biocare).
The platform diameter is slightly greater
than the body diameter due to machining
to produce the threads (courtesy of Nobel
Biocare).
25
26. • The collar and platform were slightly wider than the body and this
created a flange, which engaged the cortical bone at the ridge crest,
aiding initial stability.
• Contemporary implant designs are parallel or tapered, have modified
thread design, and may have no flange.
• Three alternative early designs (ITI, IMZ, and Tübingen) had no
threads and were called press-fit.
• Some press-fit designs (Frialit ® and IMZ) have adopted surface
threading.
26
27. • Currently, most implants have surface threads, and textured surfaces
produced by a variety of proprietary treatments. However, there are still
some press-fit designs available.
• Some press-fit designs (Frialit and IMZ) have adopted surface threads.
Thread shape varies with a view to giving better initial stability especially
in softer bone and better biomechanical force distribution to bone.
• A slight apical taper is often incorporated with or without deeper threads
to ensure initial stability in softer bone. To date, the effects of thread
design and taper parameters on implant success have not been
validated.
27
28. Two implant variants that are tapered,
with deep or shallow grooves and an
internal hex platform-switched connection
(courtesy of Nobel Biocare).
28
29. IMPLANT LENGTH
• Implant length may range from 5.0 to 18.0 mm long depending
on the implant company. Longer implants are specifically
available for insertion into the zygomatic bone. Many of the
early cases used Brånemark implants that were only 7.0 mm
long. There was a gradual trend toward using the longest
implant feasible, which would engage both mandibular cortical
plates for optimum stability.
29
30. • Currently, it seems acceptable to use an implant length of between 10.0 and 15.0 mm
for 3.0 to 4.0 mm diameter implants, while accepting less length on 5.0 to 6.0 mm
diameter implants.
• Research cannot give the clinician a definitive answer as to the optimum length of
implant to use in a particular clinical circumstance. Studies have shown comparable
survival rates for short (<10.0 mm long) implant, although longer implants might have a
slightly better survival rate in partially dentate cases.
• For approximate comparative purposes, an implant measuring 4.0 × 10.0 mm is
equivalent to a 5.0 × 8.0 mm, or a 6.0 × 6.0 mm implant assuming the same implant and
bone configuration and bone density. It is likely that the number of implants is the more
important treatment planning factor. Some implant companies, for example, Bicon,
promote shorter implants.
30
31. IMPLANT BODY AND PLATFORM DIAMETER
• Implants are often referred to in terms of body diameter and platform diameter.
• Implant diameter refers to the widest part of the implant body that fits within the osteotomy site.
Tapered implants have a gradient of diameter, being widest toward the platform.
• The platform, onto which a prosthetic component sits, is the “top” or occlusal aspect of an
implant.
• It is often wider than the implant body itself as with the Brånemark design and Straumann
flared-neck (one-stage surgery) implants. The term platform was more relevant for external hex
implants in that the platform supported the abutment, but is less relevant for many modern
conical internal connection implants. Platform- switching allows abutments to attach within the
tapered, conical connection channel without fully covering the implant platform.
31
32. Diagram showing a
range of implant
(platform) diameters, and
connection options; NP,
narrow platform; RP,
regular platform; WP,
wide platform (courtesy

32
34. • Increasing the implant diameter increases the potential area for
osseointegration and force transmission to bone.
• In many cases, the retaining screw diameter also increases as the
implant diameter increases. Implant diameter is selected with reference to
bone volume and tooth size.
• Typical implant diameters range from 3.0 to 6.0 mm, and implants are
often termed narrow/ small, regular/standard, wide, or extra-wide
platform, based on the diameter of the platform or implant body at its
widest section:
34
35. • Narrow/small: approximately 3.0 mm, suitable for
mandibular incisors and maxillary lateral incisors
• Regular/standard: approximately 4.0 mm, suitable for
all teeth except small incisors
• Wide: approximately 5.0 mm, suitable for molars
• Extra-wide: approximately 6.0 mm, also suitable for
molars.
35
36. IMPLANT COLLAR
• The collar, sometimes referred to as the neck, is the portion of
the implant that lies just apical to the implant platform.
• Traditional implants had a smooth machined body and
transmucosal collar. The collar was placed within the bony
osteotomy thus making the implant platform “flush” with the
bony crest.
• The height of the polished collar surface varies in width, and in
many cases, a textured surface runs all the way to the coronal
extent or platform. 36
37. Implants with machined, or grooved
and textured collar configurations
(courtesy of Nobel Biocare). 37
38. • Polished collars are now designed to extend above the
crestal bone (next to the soft tissue), whereas textured
collars are placed within the bone. Collar diameter, height
and surface finish vary from product to product.
• Many collars also now include micro- threads or grooves. ITI
use a smooth machined transmucosal collar for mucosal
contact, for their one-stage surgery implants; the implant
surface for bone contact is textured
38
39. Implant examples showing “flared”
(polished) and “straight” (textured)
collars, and internal connections
(courtesy of Straumann).
39
40. • It had been theorized that bone loss may occur because of
excessive strain at threads in the collar area, or because the
smooth machined collar does not engage bone as well as a
textured surface.
• This led to the use of micro- threads, or textured surfaces in
the collar area in contact with bone, for better force distribution
to bone.
• It is not known yet whether collar design variations have a
significant bearing on long-term implant outcomes.
40
41. Prosthetic Connection and
Anti-rotation Feature
• The majority of implants require a screw retained prosthetic abutment, although one
system uses a parallel post with frictional locking (Bicon).
• The abutment may be similar to a crown preparation, a combination abutment-
restoration (using a customized UCLA abutment), an overdenture patrix (anchor), or a
bar support.
• The prosthetic connection permits retention of the prosthesis and provides a suitable
method of transferring the clinical implant position to the laboratory master cast through
the use of precisely fitting impression copings (impression abutments).
• Abutment retaining screws often have greater diameter on larger diameter implants. 41
42. • Modern implants have an internal or external engaging or anti-rotation
feature, which is used for implant placement and is essential for single-
unit crowns but not essential for multi- unit restorations.
• Early corevent designs incorporated the first internal hex connection for
use with cementable overdenture and single crown abutments. Zimmer
implants and others use an updated version of this patented design.
Many current implants use a variant of the Brånemark external or the
corevent internal connection.
• With an internal connection, it is easier for the clinician to find a positive
seat for abutments sub-gingivally. A Nobel Biocare tri-channel internal
connection is currently the most popular connection design.
42
43. One-piece Implant
• Integral abutments were a feature of subperiosteal, blade, and
other implants such as early ITI implants, current Nobeldirect
implants, and some Zimmer implants.
• Integral abutments present the risk of not achieving
osseointegration because of inadvertent early functional
contact. On the positive side, an integral abutment cannot
loosen from the implant in function.
43
44. Implant Platform
• Traditionally, the implant platform is the surface upon which a restorative abutment sits .
the “flat” platform is surmounted by a protruding hex with a central screw hole. With the
advent of wider diameter implants, the platform increased in diameter, thereby giving
more support to the abutment and restoration.
• Many implants are of tapered design, and the implant diameter then refers to the
diameter of the implant platform. Although external hex designs are still popular, many
new internal connection designs have been introduced.
• These may no longer have a flat supportive platform, but instead have an internal cone-
shaped or tapered connection with an anti- rotation feature
44
45. Platform-switching Design
• For traditional implants, the diameter of the abutment and implant platform was the same
at the connection point . this is referred to as platform-matching. Lazzara and porter
showed that the connection of a smaller-diameter abutment reduced the amount of bone
loss around implants after abutment connection.
• This concept, called platform- switching, has been embraced by some leading clinicians
and implant companies, and such designs are now widely offered. It is most desirable to
minimize bone loss around implants, and thereby possibly increase soft tissue support
especially in the aesthetic zone.
• However, more evidence is needed to validate the clinical benefits of platform-switching
45
46. The implant-abutment junction: platform-
matching (a, b, c) and platform-switching
(d) designs (courtesy of Nobel Biocare).
46
47. Surface Finish/Texture
• Brånemark popularized smooth, machined, and threaded screws. Early IMZ and ITI
implants had plasma-sprayed, Ti-coated, textured surfaces (TPS). Corevent had a
threaded and sandblasted surface. Calcitek, Steri-oss ®, and IMZ used plasma-sprayed
hydroxyapatite (HA) surfaces.
• Currently, major implant companies offer implants with a variety of proprietary surface
textures or modifications created by a number of etching, sintering, anodizing, or
blasting processes. Surface texture increases the surface area for osseointegration, and
creates an interlocking mechanical interface with bone.
• Textured surfaces show osseoconductive properties, with superior speed and area of
osseointegration over traditional smooth machined surface implants

Technology (TMT) implants (courtesy

50. Cover Screw, Healing Abutment
• In one-stage implant placement, a cover screw is used to fill the implant screw hole to
prevent ingress of debris. Alternatively, a larger healing abutment can be used to
develop a soft tissue emergence profile for the future restoration.
• Different implant companies provide various shapes of healing abutments for this
purpose.
• In two-stage implant placement, after the implant is inserted into the osteotomy site, a
cover screw is placed to minimize the risk of infection, and prevent bone growth over the
implant platform.
• At second-stage surgery, the cover screw is replaced by a transmucosal healing
abutment. The healing abutment may be parallel-sided or flared.
50
51. • Healing abutments come in different shapes and sizes and
their diameter may be the same or larger than the implant
platform, expanded shapes are used to help create an
optimum emergence profile (tissue shaping) for the final
restoration; this decision being made at the discretion of the
restorative dentist.
• One manufacturer (biomet 3i) produces laser coded abutments
(3i encode) to enable data transfer for cad/cam prosthesis
fabrication.
51
52. Healing abutments, color coded and
available in various heights and
diameters (courtesy of Nobel Biocare). 52
53. PROSTHETIC COMPONENTS
• The original Brånemark implant was placed so that the platform was flush with the bone
crest.
• At second-stage surgery, a cylindrical transmucosal abutment was attached with an
abutment screw. This abutment was surmounted by a secondary abutment, to which the
restoration was attached by means of a smaller prosthetic screw.
• Currently, a transmucosal healing abutment is placed at second-stage surgery. This
healing abutment is removed for impression taking and eventually is replaced by a
prosthetic transmucosal abutment.
53
54. • This prosthetic abutment may stand alone for a cemented crown such as a
prefabricated Nobel BioCare snappy™ abutment, or be an integral part of the
final restoration, such as with UCLA abutments, for example, the Nobel BioCare
goldadapt abutment. It may also be a zest locator ® anchor.
• There are many versions of stock or prefabricated and customizable abutments
available. The UCLA prefabricated abutment gradually superseded the
traditional brånemark transmucosal healing abutment for single crowns.
• The UCLA prefabricated abutment allows a custom abutment or crown to be
screwed directly to the implant.
54
55. • Prosthetic implant components enable the clinician and laboratory
technician to produce the final clinical prosthesis. The prosthesis
may be one of the following, which may be screwed or cemented in
place:
⮚Single units (crowns): screw or cement
⮚Multi-unit (fdps): one-stage (screw or cement), two-stage (screw
only)
⮚Full arch fixed multi-unit (FDP): screw or cement (usually two-stage)
⮚Overdentures: resilient retentive anchors (zest, dalbo) or
customized bars.
55
56. • Screw retention is engineered to create a durable connection
while balancing the strength of the screw and implant.
• A tapered or conical inlet to the screw-hole gives a very secure
immobile abutment fit that inhibits screw loosening and limits
ingress of microflora at the implant-abutment junction (iaj).
• Abutments are retained by abutment screws that are torqued
into the implant using a torque driver. Screw diameter and
length varies.
56
57. Healing Abutment/Transmucosal
Abutment, Tissue-shaping Abutment
• These abutments are placed at second-stage surgery and allow the soft tissue to heal
against a smooth ti surface.
• This leads to the formation of a junctional epithelium and a close adaptation of
connective tissue around the implant and abutment.
• The soft tissue around the implant may be modified or shaped in order to create an
optimal emergence profile for the final restoration. This can be achieved with a tapered,
stock healing abutment or with a custom fabricated provisional crown.
• Healing abutments are tightened with finger-held screwdrivers.
57
58. Impression Coping Or Abutment, Implant
Analog Or Replica
• An impression coping or abutment screws into the implant, fits the implant
precisely and permits transfer of accurate implant positional information from
the mouth to the laboratory master cast using a conventional dental impression.
• There are two types of impression coping: pick-up and transfer copings. The
pick-up coping remains in the impression, while the transfer coping stays in the
implant after taking the impression. Prior to pouring the master cast, the
impression coping is connected to a matching implant analog/replica. The cast
will have the implant analog in its correct 3D position for laboratory fabrication
of the prosthesis.
58
60. Provisional Restoration Abutments
• Several different types of provisional restoration abutments are available, made from ti
or resin.
• Some types of abutments screw directly into the implant and can be modified to receive
a cemented provisional crown.
• Other abutments have a textured surface for resin application, and are retained to the
implant by a central abutment screw.
• The screw-hole access for maxillary anterior units is often on the labial side due to
implant angulation, and must be filled with a suitable correction resin.
60
62. Stock/Prefabricated Abutments
• There are many varieties of stock abutments, such as multi-unit abutments, used for
two-stage screw-retained prostheses, crown preparation-shaped abutments, and
overdenture abutments.
• The estorative abutment may have an anti-rotation connection with the implant
depending on its planned usage. It will usually be retained by an abutment screw. Stock
abutments are made from ti and a variety of ceramics or metal alloys. They may or may
not be customizable in terms of angle, height, and finish-line configuration.
• The soft tissue height determines the subgingival collar height of such abutments, and
different subgingival collar heights are available. Restorative abutments are torqued into
place at manufacturer-determined torque. The final restoration is cemented over the
abutment.

64. Custom Restorative Abutments
• Custom restorative abutments are fabricated by waxing and casting directly onto
a UCLA- type cylindrical abutment that has a machined implant connection and
a plastic waxing sleeve.
• These abutments can be configured in wax with appropriate marginal and axial
preparation configurations for cemented crowns/fdps, and then “cast-to” in noble
alloy.
• They may also be configured as the final frame- work for porcelain application,
creating a one- piece metal-ceramic, screw-retained crown/ fdp.
• Alternatively, custom ceramic or Ti abutments can be fabricated using a
cad/cam method such as nobelprocera ®
64
66. Multi-unit Abutments
• Conical abutments are traditional brånemark abutments designed for two-
stage screw-retained crowns and fdps. The abutments are small and
have a custom “carrier” or “handle” for safety of oral placement. They
may be straight or angled.
• They have a range of subgingival collar heights. Appropriate abutment
heights are chosen by the clinician or laboratory technician based on the
implant level impression. They are torqued into the implants, and the final
restoration is secured using small prosthetic screws. The use of multi-unit
abutments is declining.
66
67. Standard Abutments
• Standard abutments, also known as gold cylinders, are the traditional
transmucosal abutments used in the early brånemark “hybrid” fixed
cases.
• They extend through the gingiva and provide the platform for the final
prosthesis, which is retained by prosthetic screws. Traditionally, the
cylinder could be grasped supra-gingivally with a special hemostat in
order to supply counter-torque to the implant fixture while the abutment
screw was tightened.
67
68. Overdenture Abutments
• The two most popular overdenture abutments are zest locator ® (zest
anchors) and dalbo-plus ® ball (cendres métaux) attachments or
anchors. Other variants include generic stock abutments to which various
bars can be soldered for retention of overdentures.
• All these abutments are made of ti; zest anchors have a gold colored ti–
nitride coating. Both zest and dalbo attachment systems permit
approximately 30° of off-axis implant alignment
68
72. Screwdrivers
• Screwdrivers (drivers) are designed for finger use or latch-type handpiece
drill use intra-orally. There are certain popular screw- driver tips such as slotted,
square, hex, and star-shaped.
• For each finger driver, there is usually a latch-type version for a handpiece or a
hand-held torque driver. It is important to select the correct driver for the correct
screw in order to avoid damaging screw heads or losing screws intraorally.
• Finger-held drivers usually have a hole for threading floss and making the driver
captive

75. Abutment Screws And Prosthetic Screws
• Abutment and prosthetic screws are made from ti, ti alloy, or au-based alloy.
Designated screws must be used as per manufacturer’s directions for optimum
results. Screws for ceramic and metal abutments may be of different design.
• Laboratory screws are also provided for use during fabrication of prostheses.
Many modern abutment screws are designed to be prestressed at specific
tightening torques, thereby creating thread distortion and preventing screw
loosening.
• Surface treatments (e.G., Carbon coating) have been variously used by implant
companies to reduce tightening friction in order to enhance preload.
75
76. IMPLANT MARKETPLACE AND
SYSTEM SELECTION
• Without reliable manufacture and supply, implantology cannot
progress. Without industry support for research, academic
impetus, and independent implant innovation by working
dentists, dental implantology will stagnate.
• The needs of the profession have thus far been answered by
the implant industry with continuous development of new
products.
76
77. • Currently, nobel biocare is the worldwide market leader, followed closely by
straumann and others. Nobel biocare marketed the first ti screw implant and
this was also the first implant for dental use approved by the U.S. Food and
drug administration (FDA). Straumann, dentsply, biomet 3i, biohorizons, and
zimmer also have a large share of the implant market, and have comprehensive
systems, training pro-grams, and support.
• Consistency and conservatism should guide our approach to new implant
products. It is important that when using a system of implants for your patients,
you should expectcompatible components to be available for a period of
perhaps 50 years or the lifetime of the patient.
77
78. • Jokstad wrote that there were up to 600 different implant
systems produced by 146 different manufacturers. He
discussed the issue of FDA approval criteria and the difficulties
for current and future clinicians coping with so many systems.
He further noted that the vast majority of systems had no
clinical research documentation.
• The presence in the marketplace of so many systems and
aggressive marketing leaves the clinician with thoughtful
decisions to make in his or her clinical practice.
78
79. • When selecting an implant company and system, the
following should be considered:
⮚ The history, reputation, and longevity of the company
⮚ The quality of service and support from the company
⮚ The quality and strength of the company’s research
⮚ The preferences of other members of the implant
team.
79
80. • The dental patient population is mobile and patients
may need follow-up maintenance by other dentists.
Therefore company name, support, and universality
become important when choosing an implant system.
• The lack of compatibility between systems, and the
evolution of components and tool sets may lead to
problems for patients and dentists in the future, as
patients move and dentists retire.
