THE COMFOUR

TM

SYSTEM

VERSATILE AND COMFORTABLE FOR BOTH USER AND PATIENT

the cam alignment during implantation. The

aligning tools are compatible with the CAMLOG

Guide System and are inserted using the Guide

insertion posts for precise alignment of the inner

implant configuration.

The scan caps for bar abutments create an inter-

face in digital fabrication. They allow the position

of the bar abutments and the lab analogs to be

digitalized, thus enabling the fabrication of frame-

works and bars using DEDICAM

®

.

Sterile and flexible

To ensure that the handling of the components in

the COMFOUR

System is as simple as possible,

a critical change was made to the previously

familiar bar abutment system. All components

used during surgery are packaged sterile. This

means that there is no need to sterilize the bar

abutments, healing caps for bar abutments, the

impression caps for bar abutments, and closed

trays before use.

The insertion of the angled bar abutments is

simplified by an ingenious flexible handle that is

used as an insertion aid. The handle is fixed in the

thread of the prosthetic screw and holds the bar

abutment in place. In order to screw the abutment

screw that is already located in the bar abutment

into the implant, the handle can be simply bent

to one side. Particularly when the vertical space

available is limited, this greatly facilitates the

procedure (see page 15).

If impression taking with the open tray technique

is indicated, the titanium caps for bar abutments

are mounted and combined with screws of three

different lengths, each of which can be shortened

by  2.5 mm.

New light blue screws

The familiar bar abutment components such as the

burn-out, laser-weldable, solderable, and cast-on

bases are fully compatible with the COMFOUR

System. Only the abutment and prosthetic screws

have been modified. All screws and screw-

retained components are color-coded light blue

for easy identification.

An immediate, comfortable solution

The new COMFOUR

Abutment System enables per-

manent, occlusal screw-retained restorations and

satisfies patient desires for an immediate, com-

fortable, and permanent denture. COMFOUR

saves time during use and offers clinicians and

dental technicians greater flexibility for occlu-

sal screw-retained designs. With its options for

bar and single-tooth restorations, COMFOUR

extends the prosthetic options available at bar

abutment level and has a number of impressive

technical advantages such as its anti-rotation

mechanism, a pre-mounted flexible handle, the

aligning tool which is compatible with the Guide,

and an extremely slim design.

The aim of the COMFOUR

®

development was

to market a system for occlusal screw-retained

treatment concepts that provided value-added

advantages to both users and patients.

After detailed analysis, the development team

and product management at CAMLOG decided

to develop the new abutment system for occlusal

screw retention on the basis of the former bar

abutments.The range of bar abutments was greatly

expanded and modified, and the collaboration

with experienced clinicians enabled the creation

of the new COMFOUR

Abutment System.

Slender and stable

New machinery was specifically purchased for

the production. This enables the angled bar

abutments to be designed to be as slender as

possible, which leaves plenty of room around the

abutment for the hard and soft tissues. Presuming

sufficient primary stability of the implant, the

sterile bar abutments can be immediately insert-

ed after surgery and fitted with the temporary

restoration. Alternatively, the bar abutments can

be sealed with a healing cap. All other treatment

steps such as impression taking and the definitive

restoration are done at abutment level. This

avoids irritating the gingival cuff as a result of

repeatedly detaching the soft tissue attachment

during insertion and removal of the abutment.

The COMFOUR

System provides clinicians with a

modern, easy to handle abutment system not only

for restorations on four or six implants, but one

that also comes with a range of options to meet

the challenges of routine clinical practice. The

refinement of the tried and tested bar abutments is

welcome. A comparison with current comparable

systems offered by competitors shows that the

prosthetic screws of the COMFOUR

System

(M1.6) have greater dimensions – for greater

stability.

Comprehensive range of abutments

Alongwith straight bar abutments,theCOMFOUR

System also includes 17° and 30° angled bar

abutments. These are available as type A and

type B (60° offset cam arrangement). All bar

abutments are available in two gingival heights;

straight bar abutments from a diameter of

3.8 mm are even available in three gingival

heights. Useful additional components are the

titanium caps for bar abutments for both tempo-

rary and definitive restorations as well as the

aligning tools for making fine adjustments to

Occlusal screw retention is a state-of-the-art treatment method. COMFOUR

equally enables several different treatment concepts. It is a multi-

option system that permits bar and single-tooth restorations for straight and angled bar abutments in addition to screw-retained bridges

for immediate and delayed restorations. The COMFOUR

System is available for the CAMLOG

®

and for the CONELOG

®

Implant Systems. The

major advantages of the new abutment system are its versatility and the product design, combined with safety and a high level of comfort for

user and patient.
