6 Impression Techniques To restore an implant, the laboratory model needs to have either an implant replica or abutment replica. The only exception is with abutments that are modified in the mouth; these are reproduced in stone or acrylic in procedures identical to preparations on natural teeth. Impression Implant Level The purpose of the implant level impression is to crossreference the position of the implant platform in relation to other implants, teeth and soft tissue contours. The implant level impression is generally made when a one-stage procedure is utilized, or the indexing of implant position is desired, before soft tissue closure at the time of implant placement. However, an implant level impression may also be made after second-stage surgery, after a healing abutment or temporary restoration has been in place and the soft tissue has healed. The implant level impression coping is connected to the implant and the impression is made with an elastic material with either an open or closed tray. Information from the implant platform is transferred via the impression coping and implant replica to the stone model. The implant replica allows restorative components to be seated and removed from the dental cast during abutment selection and fabrication of the provisional or final restoration. Note: For implants that are greater than 25 divergent, the open tray technique must be used. 6

7 Closed Tray Technique 1. Place the impression coping over the implant. Use the Unigrip Screwdriver and tighten the screw (for NobelReplace only). The Impression Coping Closed Tray Plastic NobelReplace, which is intended to be used for single units and short span bridges with parallel implants, is pressed into the implant. 2. Block out the Unigrip hole on the guide pin (for NobelReplace only). A radiograph may be taken to verify proper seating of the impression coping. 3. Inject a heavy body impression material (polyether material or polyvinylsiloxane) around each impression coping and into the tray. Record the impression. 4. Remove the impression. 5. Remove the impression coping and thread it onto the corresponding implant replica. 6. Place the impression coping implant replica assembly into its corresponding location in the impression and send to the dental laboratory for model fabrication Open Tray Technique An alternative technique for taking an implant level impression. This is useful when: It is preferred to have the impression coping retained in the impression material to avoid uncertainty with re-seating. The lack of implant parallelism would make tray removal difficult using the closed tray technique. The height of the implant level impression coping is significantly below the occlusal plane. 1. Place the impression coping over the implant and tighten the guide pin using the Unigrip Screwdriver. 2. Relieve and perforate the impression tray to allow full seating of the tray and protrusion of the guide pins. If there is a large opening, it may be closed off using baseplate wax, with the guide pins indenting or perforating the wax. 3. Inject impression material around each impression coping and fill the tray; seat the impression tray fully so that the tips of all the guide pins are identified. After the impression material has set, unscrew each guide pin. Pull each guide pin with cotton pliers to verify full disengagement. Remove the impression tray. 4. Attach the appropriate implant replicas to the impression copings for model fabrication. Note: It is important that no forces are transferred to the impression coping while fastening the replica; this could twist the position of the coping in the impression material. A firm grip on the replica while tightening the guide pin will help prevent any dislodgement of the impression coping from it s reference position

The abutment level impression coping is connected to the Multi-unit abutment and the impression is made with an elastic material with either an open or closed tray. Information from the abutment is transferred via the impression coping and abutment replica to the stone model. The abutment replica allows restorative components to be seated and removed from the dental cast during fabrication of the provisional or final restoration. Note: For implants that are greater than 25 divergent, the open tray technique must be used. 8

9 Closed Tray Technique 1. Place the impression coping and rotate it into position on the abutment until complete seating is achieved. 2. Inject a heavy body impression material (polyether material or polyvinylsiloxane) around each impression coping and into the tray. Record the impression. 3. Remove the impression. 4. Remove the impression copings from the abutment and attach the abutment replicas to each coping. 5. Place the impression coping abutment replica assembly into its corresponding location in the impression and send to the dental laboratory for model fabrication Open Tray Technique 1.

After the impression material has set, unscrew each guide pin. Pull each guide pin with cotton pliers to verify full disengagement. Remove the impression tray. 4. Attach the appropriate implant replicas to the impression copings for model pouring. Note: It is important that no forces are transferred to the impression coping while fastening the replica; this could twist the position of the coping in the impression material. A firm grip on the replica while tightening the guide pin will help prevent any dislodgement of the impression coping from its reference position Impression techniques on abutment level for Snappy Abutment, Easy Abutment and Ball Abutment Titanium, see pages 21, 24 and 47. 9

11 Temporization Depending on the final restoration planned, several alternatives in provisional restorations are possible. It is best to have a temporization strategy to meet patient requirements during different phases of treatment planning. One-Stage Function As for crown & bridge, temporization may be performed in many different ways, from the use of a standard acrylic crown, adjusted chairside, to a lab-processed temporary crown. It is important to have a smooth contour on the provisional crown to avoid irritating the soft tissue. Care should be taken not to contaminate the surgical site with impression material or cement. For the Snappy Abutments, Easy Abutments, Esthetic Abutments and Multi-unit Abutments, temporary copings are available using the same principles as for crown & bridge. In some situations, Nobel Biocare Temporary Abutments can be used for the temporary prosthesis. For single unit temporary restorations there is an Immediate Temporary Abutment available. 11

12 Two-Stage Function Before implants are uncovered For the totally edentulous patient after implant insertion, use the existing denture that has been adjusted and relined. For the partially edentulous patient after implant insertion, use suitable conventional temporization procedures. After implants are uncovered Provisional restorations can be made on temporary components as the needs of the patient and the treatment plan dictate. Indexing at the time of implant placement, can allow the fabrication of an abutment and/or provisional restoration to be delivered at the time of implant uncovering. Temporary Restorations For fabrication of temporary restorations, there are several options. For cemented restorations, using the Snappy Abutments, Easy Abutments, Esthetic Abutments and Procera Abutments, temporary crowns or bridges are made with the same techniques used for natural teeth. For Multi-unit Abutments, provisional restorations can be fabricated by processing acrylic or composite to temporary copings. 1. Immediate Temporary Abutment Immediate Temporary Abutments and Copings are used for single unit implant supported temporary dental restorations, made chair-side. The Immediate Temporary Abutment consists of two parts, an abutment and a plastic coping. 1. The abutment is mounted onto the implant and tightened with the Screwdriver Machine Multi-unit and Manual Torque Wrench Prosthetic to 35 Ncm. 2. The abutment post is adjusted for height and clearance if necessary. 3. The plastic coping is tried-in and relieved for clearance if necessary. 4. A temporary crown is fabricated with traditional methods using either acrylic or composite. Warning: Do not use with Polyurethane cements. The cement will not cure

13 Temporary Abutments/Copings The standard temporary abutments and copings, used for the fabrication of provisional restorations, are made of titanium or plastic. The retentive groove on the abutments/copings will help to bind acrylic material when building a provisional construction. 1. Provisional restorations may be made either at a dental laboratory or chair-side. The provisional restoration is fabricated directly on the temporary abutments/copings. For the direct chair-side method, an acrylic template for the provisional restoration can be made from either a wax-up or denture tooth set-up representing the planned restoration. 1. Fasten the temporary abutments/copings in the mouth or on the model. Use guide pins that extend beyond the occlusal plane. 2. Make holes in the acrylic template to allow the guide pins and temporary abutments/copings to protrude. 3. Examine undercuts associated with adjacent natural teeth and block out as necessary. 4. Fill the acrylic template with acrylic and seat over the guide pins and temporary abutments/copings. 5. After setting, loosen the guide pins to remove the restoration. 6. Laboratory protection analogs can be attached to the bottom of the abutments/copings to protect the base during trimming and polishing procedures. The provisional restoration is fastened with the corresponding abutment screw/prosthetic screw. Fill the screw access channel with a suitable material such as gutta percha, silicone or temporary filling material Principle Clinical Procedure for Connecting a Provisional Restoration For Screw-Retained Provisional Restorations: The provisional restoration is fastened with the corresponding abutment screw/prosthetic screw. Fill the screw access channel with a suitable material such as gutta percha, silicone or temporary filling. For Cement-Retained Provisional Restorations: The provisional restoration must be cemented with retrievable temporary cement. Remove any excess cement and adjust the occlusion. 13

15 Abutment Selection If the final restoration is to meet the esthetic and functional demands of the dentist and patient, selecting the proper abutment is crucial. In some cases, the dentist makes the abutment selection and sends an abutment level impression to the laboratory. However in many cases, the dentist takes an impression at fixture level to facilitate the abutment choice. Try-in Abutments In order to facilitate the abutment selection there are now plastic Try-in Abutments available with internal or external connections. These are intended to be momentarily placed into an implant (intra-orally) or implant replica (dental laboratory) to aid the clinician or dental technician in the selection of an appropriate shape and size abutment for the patient. The Try-in Abutments are available for Snappy Abutments, straight and angled Esthetic Abutments and angled Multi-unit Abutments. A soft tissue measuring tool is included along with the Try-in Abutment. Try-in Abutments for External Connection Indications The Abutment Try-ins are indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients receiving implant treatment with NobelReplace or Brånemark System Implants. Cleaning and Sterilization The Abutment Try-ins are reusable by the dentist or laboratory. They may be cleaned and sterilized prior to patient use as required in compliance with established routines at the hospital/clinic. Try-in Abutments for Internal Connection Cement-Retained Cement-retained restorations on implants follow the same basic protocol as tooth-supported crowns and fixed partial denture restorations. While the abutments are screw-retained in to the implants, the restoration is cemented over the abutments. The use of temporary cement is recommended for ease of retrievability. Note: Do not use temporary cement for Procera Crowns or Procera Bridge Zirconia. Screw-Retained A screw-retained restoration is retained by screws that enter through the occlusal or cingulum area of the restoration. The screw passes through the crown and threads into the abutment screw. The restoration is retrievable by the dentist. 15

18 Procera Abutment Zirconia, Titanium Single Tooth and Multiple Unit Restorations Cement-Retained Indications Single or multiple implant restorations Fully edentulous or partially edentulous arch 1. Impression 1. Place the impression coping implant level onto the implant. To transfer the position of the implant to a working model, take an impression on implant level (see the chapter: Impression Techniques). 2. Connect the temporary restoration (see the chapter: Temporization), or healing abutment and send the impression to the dental laboratory. 2. Laboratory Procedure Wax-up technique The Procera Abutment wax-up kit with different platform replicas is used to create a wax-up pattern. After scanning the wax-up pattern with Procera Scanner, the data is transferred to a production facility via Internet. 3D CADD technique Procera 3D CADD program is used to create a computerized design for Procera Abutment. The contour, alignment and finish line are designed on the screen. When the design is completed, data is transferred to the production facility via Internet. 3. Procera Production Facility The abutment is produced and returned to the laboratory. 18

19 4. Laboratory Procedure In the laboratory the abutment is scanned for a Procera Crown or Procera Bridge Zirconia, which after production will be veneered with NobelRondo porcelain. Note: When designing/preparing Procera Abutment Zirconia, make sure that the thickness of the ceramic material is at least 0.8 mm. This thickness limit is applicable up to a height of 3 mm above implant level. 5. Abutment Connection 3. Remove the temporary restoration or healing abutment from the implant. Ensure that the implant platform is free from any soft-tissue or bone remnants. 4. Insert the abutment screw into the screw access channel using the Unigrip Screwdriver. Position the abutment/screw assembly into the implant and secure the screw in the implant until resistance is felt. A radiograph can be helpful to confirm accurate seating of the abutment. Note: When using the Procera Abutment with external connection on compatible hex implants, use the screw supplied with the abutment. 5. Tighten the abutment screw to 35 Ncm using the Manual Torque Wrench Prosthetic and Unigrip Machine Screwdriver. 6. Cementation of Final Restoration 6. Gently seat the restoration on the abutment and check both the occlusion and the interproximal contacts. The restoration should be in light occlusion. Excursive contact should be minimal. 7.
