CAMLOG Hybrid Restorations

55 HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE CAMLOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM PROCESSING INSERTION OF THE CAMLOG ® LOCATOR ® ABUTMENT To select the suitable CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutment, the implant diameter and thickness of the gingiva must be known. The thickness of the gingiva determines the required gingival height of the abutment. The exact height of the abutment is selected when the functional region extend out of the surrounding tissue 1.5 mm. After removing the CAMLOG ® healing cap, the inner configuration of the CAMLOG ® implant is cleaned. The contact surfaces between implant and abutment must not be covered by bone and tissue. Only then is proper seat- ing of the abutment on the implant ensured. To insert the CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutment into the CAMLOG ® implant, the gold-colored turning element of the Locator ® instrument or the driver for Locator ® abutment, manual/wrench, can be used. The driver for Locator ® abutment, manual/wrench, is used in conjunction with the torque wrench to tighten the abutment into its final position at the specified torque. min 1.5 mm Turning element of the Locator ® instrument Driver for Locator ® abutment, manual/wrench IMPORTANT NOTE The functional region must be at least 1.5 mm supragingival! TORQUE FOR CAMLOG ® LOCATOR ® ABUTMENT Implant Ø 3.3 mm 20 Ncm Implant Ø 3.8/4.3/5.0 mm 30 Ncm Note: CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutments must be retightened to the same torque after about five minutes. MEASURING THE IMPLANT AXES To measure the implant axes, the black parallel posts are positioned on the fixed abutments. The detectable pressure point indicates the exact engage- ment. The Locator ® angle measurement guide can then be used to deter- mine the angle of the individual implant abutments to each other. Parallel post Angle measurement guide
