CAMLOG Hybrid Restorations

37 HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE CAMLOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM RELINING OF A BAR-SUPPORTED FULL DENTURE If relining is necessary to retain the function of a bar-supported full denture, the holding pins for bars can be used. The holding pins for bars are used exclusively to attach a bar during the relining impression taking for an indirect relining. The holding pins for bars hold the bar in the relining impression. It is not necessary to block out the bar in the mouth; it is easily carried out on the relining model. PROCESSING PREPARATION OF THE RELINING IMPRESSION TAKING The bar-supported prosthesis is removed from the mouth. A screwdriver (hex) is used to loosen and remove the prosthetic screws from the CAMLOG ® bar abutments. Take measures to protect against aspiration! INSERTING THE HOLDING PINS FOR BARS The holding pins for bars are selected based on the diameter of the CAMLOG ® bar abutments. A screwdriver (hex) is used to grab the holding pins for bars and to push them into the screw openings. Limited friction be- tween the screwdriver and the holding pin for bars prevents loosening dur- ing application. The screwdriver can then be easily removed. The bar is then fixed with the holding pins for bars in the patient's mouth. It is important to check (e.g. occlusally pressing with a finger) the proper fit of all applied holding pins for bars just before taking the impression. Blocking out the bar is unnecessary. IMPRESSION TAKING The relining impression for bar-supported prosthesis can be taken as usual. Make sure that the impression material fills in under the bar component completely. The prosthesis impression can be removed after the prescribed setting time of the impression material. The bar incl. the holding pins for bars remains in the prosthesis impression surrounded by impression material. The holding pins for bars are for single use only and must be disinfected before use (no sterilization). See also the “Preparation Instructions for the CAMLOG ® /CONELOG ® Implant System", Art. No. J8000.0032. The holding pins for bars are available in two sizes: HOLDING PIN FOR BAR, YELLOW, FOR THREAD M1.6 Can be used for CAMLOG ® bar abutment Ø 3.3/3.8/4.3 mm and soldering aid/bar lab analog Ø 3.3/3.8/4.3 mm HOLDING PIN FOR BAR, BLUE, FOR THREAD M2.0 Can be used for CAMLOG ® bar abutment Ø 5.0/6.0 mm and soldering aid/bar lab analog Ø 5.0/6.0 mm
