CONELOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE Surgical procedures

33 CONELOG ® PROGRESSIVE-LINE IMPLANT The following is to be observed during implantation: Groove markings are applied to the insertion tool and the insertion post which correspond to the three grooves of the implant-abutment connection. These permit a check of the groove positions during the insertion and their orientation as required for the prosthesis. If the dental technician has not indicated the groove position, a vestibular orientation is advantageous in most cases since the angle of angulated abutments originates at a groove. After successful checking of the implantation depth (see section "Form drilling") as well as the position of the grooves (see above), the placed insertion post can be pulled from the implant using the insertion tool. Sufficient primary stability of the implant should be available here. Should the insertion post be stuck in the implant, it can simply be pulled out with forceps. If it is desired to leave the insertion post in the implant for the time being (e.g. in order to be able to compare the axes of several implants better), the insertion post may have to be retained in the implant by applying axial pressure using forceps. If the primary stability is not sufficient, the implant can be stabilized with a suitable instrument during extraction of the placed insertion post. NOTE Keep in mind during positioning of the grooves that turning to the next groove position (120°) will cause the implant to be inserted about 0.3 mm deeper.
