When using PreFormance Posts in immediate nonocclusal loading protocols for multiple-units, please follow these instructions:
• Do not splint to natural dentition
• If splinting to other integrated implants, centric, lateral and protrusive forces should be out of occlusion. Masticatory forces should be minimized allowing the integrated implant to absorb the forces.
• If splinting to other immediately placed implants, no occlusion and a soft diet should be recommended to the patient for six to eight weeks.
