Bone Profiling
OSSEOTITE® Implants

EP® Healing Abutments
A Bone Profiling Pin, Bone Profilers and corresponding EP Bone Profilers are available to contour the bone that is to receive the EP Healing Abutment. These tools are especially helpful in a single-stage surgical protocol when the implant is placed subcrestally.

If the implant is placed subcrestally and use of an EP Healing Abutment is indicated, the coronal aspect of the osteotomy must be prepared to receive the flare of the EP Healing Abutment.

NOTE: Non-EP, straight healing abutments and impression copings are available if bone profiling is not preferred at either stage one or stage two surgery.

OSSEOTITE Certain® Two-Piece Bone Profiling Pin (IBPGP)
The OSSEOTITE Certain Implant requires a dedicated Bone Profiling Pin, which is used with the existing EP Bone Profilers. This new two-piece design allows the pin to engage the internal hex of the implant. The hex engagement prevents the pin from tightening into the implant during profiling, making it easy to remove. Lubricating the top of the pin with an appropriate lubricant, such as tetracycline ointment, is recommended. Do not exceed 50rpm when using Bone Profilers Pins.

Bone Profiling Technique

1. EP Bone Profiler slides over the two-Piece Bone Profiler Pin.

2. EP Bone Profiler creates a flare in the crest of bone.

3. Flare of EP Abutment matches the flare of the corresponding EP Bone Profiler.

4. EP Healing Abutment seated properly onto the implant in subcrestal placement.
