CAMLOG Hybrid Restorations

60 HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE CAMLOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM The titanium housing is attached by the black processing replacement male and the resilience of the denture determined. CAUTION Undercuts between the titanium housings and the surrounding tissue not covered by the block out spacers must be blocked out. Acrylic must not get into the titanium housings during adaptation! The titanium housings are then polymerized into the existing full denture and the denture also relined if necessary. After trimming and polishing the denture, the black processing replacement males are removed and replaced by corresponding replacement male as described in "Integration of the colored replacement males" on page 58. The finished prosthesis is inserted and the occlusion checked. CONVERTING AN EXISTING FULL DENTURE INTO A LOCATOR ® -RETAINED FULL DENTURE IN THE DENTAL PRACTICE Locator ® components can also be integrated in an existing full denture in the dental practice. After final insertion of the CAMLOG ® Locator ® abut- ments in the CAMLOG ® implants (see page 55), the white block out spac- ers included in the Locator ® male processing packages are pulled over the functional areas of the CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutments to prevent acrylic from getting into the titanium housings. CAUTION Undercuts between the titanium housings and the surrounding tissue not covered by the block out spacers must be blocked out. Acrylic must not get into the titanium housing during adaptation! WARNING! During intraoral use, products must be secured in general against aspi- ration and swallowing. The titanium housings with the black processing replacement males are po- sitioned on each CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutment over the previously placed block out spacers until the pressure point is reached. The titanium housings are attached by the black processing replacement males and the resilience of the denture determined. The existing full denture is carefully prepared and perforated in the areas of the titanium housings. The denture must not come into contact during try-in. Contact with the housings can affect the exact positioning of the denture in the mouth. Acrylic can pass through the perforations occlusally.
