Certain® Hexed And Non-Hexed Pick-Up
Impression Coping Draw Angles

Maximum Draw Of Certain Hexed Pick-Up
Impression Copings

The Certain Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings are designed with a shallow internal connection and a draft on the hex, which allows these to draw from implants placed at divergent angles to a maximum of 30º per implant. This maximum angulation is possible with individual or multiple copings that are not rigidly splinted together before the impression is made (fig. 6).

Together

Clinicians may desire to rigidly splint the Pick-Up Impression Copings together prior to impressioning a multi-implant, implant level restoration. The Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings will not draw from multiple divergent implants when rigidly splinted together. This impression technique may only be used on parallel implants (fig. 7).

The Non-Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings have a maximum draw angle of 40º between implants and will draw when rigidly splinted together as impression copings. The Non-Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings have a shallow non-hex engaging internal connection that allows up to 40º of draw (fig. 8)

When clinicians desire to splint the impression copings together before making an impression of multiple divergent implants for a splinted implant restoration, the Non-Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings may be used in place of the Hexed Pick-Up Impression Copings (fig. 9).
