CONELOG SCREW-LINE surgical procedures

32 CONELOG ® SCREW-LINE IMPLANT SURGICAL PROCEDURE PICKING UP THE INSERTION POST WITH THE ANGLED HAND PIECE Optionally, the insertion post can also be picked up directly with the ISO shaft handpiece insertion tool on an angled hand piece. The front part of the implant holder is held and then the insertion post is picked up with the handpiece in- sertion tool by appling pressure. During the pick-up process, observe the correct alignment of the three groove markings on the head of the insertion post and the insertion tool. Contamination from non-sterile instruments must be avoid. The further steps for removing the implant are as follows: • Hold the implant holder at the rear section (see arrows in illustration) and press together to release the lock on the implant holder and thus release the implant; • Remove the insertion post from the holder with a slight twist (approx. 30° clockwise with the insertion tool); • Lift out the insertion post by pulling the angled hand piece upwards in a straight line (do not bend). 30° Observe the correct alignment during the pick-up process! NOTE It should be noted that picking up the insertion post with the insertion tool is done by applying pressure. This ensures secure retention of the insertion post in the insertion tool.
