Certain® QuickSeat® Activator Tool

The QuickSeat Activator Tool is used to verify that the fingers on the impression copings and abutments are in the proper position to ensure the click when placed into the implant (fig. 1). The QuickSeat Activator Tool is marked to indicate the areas to activate the impression copings on one end and the abutments on the opposite end.

To activate the QuickSeat Fingers, locate the proper end for the component.
• Impression Copings: Insert the impression coping onto the pin, fingers first and slide inward until the fingers meet the tool (fig. 2).
• Abutments: Insert the abutment onto the pin, fingers first and slide inward until the platform meets the tool (fig. 3). Remove the component from the pin and insert it into the implant.

In addition, there is an area indicated on the tool for deactivating the fingers on a Hexed UCLA Abutment (fig. 4). This may be necessary when laboratory technicians prefer to insert and remove the abutment from the analog without the finger retention during waxing, finishing or porcelain application. After the custom abutment or crown is completed, the UCLA fingers must be reactivated (fig. 5).
