CAMLOG Hybrid Restorations

36 HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE CAMLOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM The soldering is carried out according to the instructions of the soldering material and solder manufacturers. To avoid deformation of the soldering model, we recommend preheating the soldering model in the preheating furnace at approx. 500-600°C (932–1112°F). The plastic burns uniformly by doing so. After preheating the model in the furnace, the embedded bar can be soldered. Then allow the soldering mode to cool to room temperature. The bar is devested in an ultrasonic bath and then cleaned of oxides and flux residues in an acid bath. TIP: To protect the edges when trimming/polishing, the bar bases can be attached to soldering aids/bar lab analogs. The finished bar must be seated tension-free on the CAMLOG ® bar abut- ments. After completing the bar construction, the final bar prosthesis with base reinforcement out of metal is fabricated in the usual manner. The teeth are positioned based on the principle of modern complete dentures. An exist- ing full denture can also be converted into a bar-retained prosthesis with suitable bar matrices. IMPORTANT NOTE The matrix should be placed before fabrication of the prosthesis with a suitable relief wire. Only then is vertical translation of the prosthesis on the bar ensured. INSERTING THE BAR CONSTRUCTION The CAMLOG ® bar abutments are transferred from the working cast to the CAMLOG ® implants and screwed in with the prescribed torques. The finished bar construction is transferred to the CAMLOG ® bar abutments and fixed with new unused prosthetic screws, using a screwdriver (hex) with 15 Ncm. The newly created full denture is then inserted and checked for proper fit. IMPORTANT NOTE Never use sandblasting to devest the bar; this would destroy the precise fit of the bar base on the CAMLOG ® bar abutment shoulder!
