CONELOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE Surgical procedures

7 CONELOG ® PROGRESSIVE-LINE IMPLANT HORIZONTAL IMPLANT POSITION Maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 mm to an adjacent natural tooth and 3 mm to an adjacent implant. The implant diameter must be sized to leave adequate bone (at least 1 mm) around the implant. Mesio-distal implant position at bone level Distances at bone level 1.5–2 mm 1.5–2 mm > 3 mm 1.5–2 mm Ø x 1.5–2 mm 1.5–2 mm > 3 mm Ø x Ø x 1.5–2 mm Single-crown restoration Cement-retained bridge DESIGN OF PROSTHETIC RESTORATIONS Irrespective of the type of restoration - fixed single crowns, splinted crowns, bridges or removable restorations - the hygiene capability of the restoration should be taken into account. In the case of hybrid restorations, we recommend designing the prosthetics with «Passive Fit». The tension-free seat of a secondary (double crown) or primary (bar) splinted structure on implants is regarded as "Passive Fit". In the case of telescopic crowns, this is obtained through intraoral bonding of the secondary crowns (preferably galvano crowns) onto the tertiary framework. In the case of bar structures, it involves the use of bar sleeves for a "Passive Fit" and intraoral bonding of the titanium bonding base. The idea is to create a fit that is free from stress or to minimize stress on the implants. When planning a removable denture, the implants should be placed so that, if necessary, extending to a fixed restoration is possible.
