CAMLOG Hybrid Restorations

68 HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE CAMLOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for bonding. After the metal bonding material has set, the framework is removed from the mouth with the secondary coping bonded in without tension. The abut- ments are removed and sent to the dental laboratory for finishing the secondary coping/CAMLOG ® abutment transition. If the bonded tertiary framework cannot be replaced on the master cast without tension, the in- terfering abutment is removed from the master cast for further procedures. The bonded points are trimmed (removal of excess material and filling of the gap if too little adhesive was used), the construction is coated with a denture-colored opaque layer to improve the cosmetic appearance (optional) and the denture is finished. INSERTION OF THE PROSTHETIC RESTORATION The modified CAMLOG ® abutments (primary crowns) are placed in the cleaned CAMLOG ® implants and fixed with new unused CAMLOG ® abut- ment screws. The torque wrench and a screwdriver (hex) are used to tighten the screws in the implant to the specified torque of 20 Ncm. CAMLOG ® abutment screws must be retightened to the same torque after about five minutes to reach the maximum screw tension. This prevents screws from loosening. The screw channels can then be sealed with suitable materials (e.g. com- posite) for hygiene reasons. The screw inner configurations are first filled with pliable removable material. TIP: When sealing the screw channel in the abutments (primary compo- nents), ensure that the final surface is concave. All acrylic residue must be removed to ensure that the prosthesis is perfectly seated. DOUBLE CROWN RESTORATIONS
