CAMLOG Impression-Taking

Impression-taking, Bite Registration, and Temporary Restoration on CAMLOG ® Implants 18 | 19 Perform any required grinding of the temporary abutment extra-orally to prevent contamination of the surrounding tissues. For better handling, the abutment can be mounted on a lab analog or abut- ment pick-up for the universal holder. To protect the abutment screw, we recommend using a lab screw with the corresponding diameter. Depending on the marks, the preparation resembles conventional perio- prosthetics. A good solution is obtained with a diamond bur at high drilling speed, without water irrigation, and using little pressure. The chamfer or crown margins must lie paragingivally in immediate restorations in esthet- ically critical regions and approx. 1.0 – 1.5 mm subgingivally for later resto- rations to achieve an anatomically favorable emergence profile in the peri- implant tissue. A mark is placed on the vestibular aspect to facilitate detection of the insertion position of the abutment. FABRICATION OF A TEMPORARY RESTORATION PREPARING THE TEMPORARY ABUTMENT Insert the temporary abutment into the implant and rotate until the cams engage with the grooves. Insert the abutment screw into the abutment and use a screwdriver, hex, to hand-tighten. Mark the vestibular midpoint and the preparation margins on the abutment following the gingival line.
