1. Restorative
Dentist Note the size of the implant platform and the
EP® Diameter from the healing abutment to select the proper
size Prep-Tite Abutment. The implant platform diameter is also
identified by the color code anodized on the implants and
components. See below.
2. Select the proper abutment
collar height by measuring the height of the healing abutment
above tissue, NOT including the dome portion.
Subtract the measurement from the total height of the healing
abutment.
3. Using a .048” Large Hex Driver,
evaluate angulation by inserting the driver into the healing
abutment hex. If the angle appears to be more than 10º, use
the Prosthetic Angle Guide Kit to determine the approximate
angulation of the implant. The Prosthetic Angle Guide Kit
consists of 15, 25 and 35 degree pins in 2, 4 and 6mm collar
heights.
4. Place the pins into the implant
to select the proper angled abutment. The correct angle will
have the guide pin in line with the central fossa of the
adjacent posterior teeth or the incisal line angle of the
adjacent anterior teeth.
