Temporary Abutments for Crown and Bridge Restorations

11 TEMPORARY ABUTMENTS FOR CROWN AND BRIDGE RESTORATIONS CAMLOG ® AND CONELOG ® TEMPORARY ABUTMENTS, TITANIUM ALLOY, CROWN AND BRIDGE VERSIONS PROCESSING Fabrication of a temporary restoration with temporary abutments of the crown version and the bridge version is identical in terms of handling. Veneer- ing of the abutments is performed with suitable materials made of plastic. The abutments can be shortened occlusally depending on the anatomical situation. However, a minimum height of 4.2 mm must be maintained. Minimum height for CAMLOG ® Temporary abut- ments: 4.2 mm Minimum height for CONELOG ® Temporary abut- ments: 4.2 mm CAMLOG ® Temporary abutments, crown and bridge CONELOG ® Temporary abutments, crown and bridge NOTE The processing of components and the fabrication of a temporary res- toration follows an identical procedure for the CAMLOG ® and CONELOG ® Temporary abutments made of titanium alloy. FABRICATION CHAIR-SIDE Insert the temporary abutment into the implant, for the crown version rotate until the cams engage with the grooves. Next, the abutment screw is inserted into the temporary abutment and tightened by hand with a screwdriver, hex. The vestibular center and the desired occlusal height are marked on the abutment. The custom shortening and/or grinding of the temporary abutment is per- formed extraorally in order to prevent contamination of the surrounding tissue with particles from the grinding. For better handling, the abutment can be mounted on a lab analog or abutment collet for the universal holder for this purpose.
