Bicon Surgical Manual


Dear Colleagues:
Since 1985, many of the procedures and techniques depicted in the
following pages have been successfully utilized by Bicon clinicians.
However, as any experienced dentist knows, there are many ways
of achieving a particular result and by no means are the depicted
techniques the only way of providing for your patients needs.
Clinicians for whom the Bicon system is a new experience should be
impressed with the fexibility, forgivingness and facility with which Bicon
implants can be placed and restored simply even in challenging
clinical situations.
Bicons benefcial surgical attributes include: sub-crestal placement of
implants, harvesting of bone with slow-speed osteotomy preparation
without irrigation, and the use of narrow and short implants to avoid
vital structures. These clinical benefts are directly related to the
implants elegant plateaued design, which provides cortical-like bone
around the implant with central vascular systems. The implants sloping
shoulder provides sufcient space for the interproximal papillae, which
are crucial for gingivally aesthetic restorations. The implants 1.5 locking
taper connection provides for 360 of universal abutment positioning
prior to its engagement and is also proven to be a bacterial seal.
Hopefully, with the depicted techniques, you will enjoy the benefts
of the Bicon system, such as never again having to apologize to your
patients for a dark metallic gum line even when an implant is less than
ideally positioned.
Sincerely,

Vincent J. Morgan, D.M.D.

Pre-Surgical: Measurement of Bone
Keys to Success
Examine patient with mouth closed to ascertain if there is enough inter-occlusal space for the intended prosthesis.
A frenectomy may be advisable, to improve the soft tissue environment around the intended prosthesis.
Computer Aided Tomography (CAT scan), although usually not necessary, can be of value in determining the best
implant placement sites where there is minimal bone or concern as to the exact location of anatomical structures.
Care must be taken to avoid the inferior alveolar nerve and the mental
foramina in the premolar region, since the mandibular nerve is often inclined
coronally in this area.
Care must be taken to avoid the penetration of the submandibular fossa which
is located below the mylohyoid line, and particularly the sublingual space in
the anterior mandible where the sublingual artery is located. Inadvertent
penetration of these lingual plates may be avoided by appropriately directing
the pilot bur and reamer burs toward the buccal and monitoring the area with
digital contact while drilling.
The location of the maxillary sinus and nasal floor must be positively identified
to avoid their inadvertent penetration with a reamer or an implant.
In general, 2.0mm of bone should separate the apex of the implant osteotomy
and the mandibular canal.

Pre-Surgical: Implant Size Selection
Implant Size Selection
The appropriate implant length and width depends upon the available bone and the expected occlusal loads.
In general, choose the widest but not necessarily the longest implant possible.
Panoramic and periapical radiographs as well as diagnostic models and a clinical examination are used to determine
if enough mesio-distal space and vertical bone height exist to place a Bicon implant safely and appropriately in a
proposed site.
A transparent ruler or an implant radiograph overlay, which depict implant outlines of actual size and 125% of actual
size, is helpful in selecting an appropriately sized implant. Since radiographs are not necessarily precise representations,
knowledge of their magnification must be considered while using them to determine an appropriately sized implant.
Keys to Success
The 3.5mm diameter implants are generally for mandibular anterior teeth. If practical, their use should be
avoided for maxillary anterior and all posterior teeth.
The 5.0 x 8.0mm and the 6.0 x 5.7mm implants are capable of supporting any tooth in the dental arch.
From the canine posteriorly, if practical, place one implant per tooth being replaced.
Consider using HA coated implants in poor quality or grafted bone.
It is advisable to have at least 1.0mm of bone around the implant. Therefore, an advisable bone width is 5.5mm
to comfortably accommodate a 3.5mm implant, unless ridge splitting or grafting techniques are employed to
widen the site.
In the anterior maxilla, it is advisable to place 4.5mm wide or wider implants, especially when the use of an
angled abutment is intended.
The width of the alveolar bone may be assessed with a periodontal probe or caliper. It is advisable to have 1.0mm
of bone around an implant for a long-term favorable prognosis.
For maxillary anterior implants, always anticipate the potential need for ridge splitting or bone grafting
techniques.

Pre-Surgical: Surgical Template
Surgical Template
Accurate placement of any implant requires the awareness of its intended prosthetic restoration. Mounted study casts
and a diagnostic wax-up of the teeth to be replaced are usually necessary for the fabrication of a surgical template
that will aid the dentist in the appropriate placement of an implant. Although the location and availability of bone
will dictate the ultimate trajectory of the pilot drill, clinicians should strive to stay within 10 of the ideal position and
trajectory of the intended prosthesis.
Vacuum Formed Template
After making an impression and subsequent cast of the
diagnostic wax-up of the intended restoration, a vacuum
formed template is prepared on the cast from thin template
stock which is commonly used for the chairside fabrication of
transitional restorations. A hole is drilled in the middle of the
incisal or occlusal surface of the template in the location of
the intended tooth. The vacuum formed template, if possible,
is trimmed to include at least one tooth distal and three or
four teeth mesial to the area of the intended replacement.
Template from Stone Model
1 Using a duplicated stone model of the
diagnostic wax-up, draw a line through the
incisal edge and occlusal surfaces of the teeth
and another line in the center of each tooth
to be replaced, intersecting the incisal or
occlusal line.
2 Remove the lingual half of the teeth to be
replaced.
3 Mold acrylic onto the lingual aspect of the
model up to the level of the central fossa or
incisal edge of the teeth to be restored.
4 Cut a 2.0mm wide groove in the acrylic
corresponding to the middle of each intended
tooth to be replaced.

Keys to Success
The trajectory of the pilot bur will be the trajectory of the implant and the trajectory of a straight abutment.
The nal implant osteotomy, to the extent possible, should be centered in the middle of the intended prosthetic tooth.
An appropriate mesio-distal positioning of a pilot osteotomy is more critical than a slightly o axis trajectory.
Both the vacuum formed and palatal templates are placed in cold sterilization prior to their being used to facilitate
achieving an appropriate trajectory for the pilot bur.
Pre-Surgical: Surgical Template
Template determines mesio-distal positioning. Availability of
bone determines final bucco-lingual angulation.
Trim excess incisal length to prevent interference
with head of handpiece.

For larger edentulous areas, fabricate a palatal template by using an existing removable prosthesis. When fabricating the
palatal template, the buccal aspect is inclined from the incisal edge or central fossa of the proposed teeth back to the crest
of the alveolar ridge, which is represented on a duplicated prosthesis as the greatest concavity on the alveolar ridge side of
the prosthesis.

implants and long-shafted abutments.
Implant/Abutment Seating Tips
The seating tips were designed for use with a threaded
straight or oset handle to facilitate the proper seating
of an implant or an abutment. When using the implant
seating tips, it is imperative that the seating tips be fully
seated into the well of the implant to avoid causing
distortion of the well during their use, which could
subsequently prevent the complete locking taper
engagement of an abutment.

Surgical Placement: Flap Design
Flap Design
After appropriate local anesthesia, either an envelope or broad based pedicle flap is raised. In both designs, the crestal incision should
be palatal or lingual to the actual crest of the ridge.
Broad Based Pedicle Type Flap
The broad based pedicle flap is recommended for use in the posterior part of the mouth for two stage surgical placements and for
narrow ridges. This flap consists of two near parallel incisions and one transverse incision lingual to the crest of the ridge. This flap can
be easily modified for the one stage or immediate stabilization and function techniques.

Semi-Lunar Type Flap
The semi-lunar flap is recommended for the one stage surgical technique, the immediate stabilization and function technique and for
aesthetic areas. This flap consists of a pedicle flap based on the lingual or palatal aspect of the ridge. Caution is advised when using
the semi-lunar flap, since visualization of the implant site is limited to only the crestal aspect of the bone. As a result, inadvertent buccal
or lingual fenestrations are more likely to occur when using the semi-lunar flap.

Surgical Placement: Pilot Drill
Pilot Drill
The pilot osteotomy should be positioned
in the center, when possible, of the
edentulous space of the proposed tooth
and with the same trajectory as that of the
intended prosthesis.
1 Using a surgical template, an 18:1 reduction
handpiece, and a 2.0mm pilot drill, make
the initial penetration into the ridge at
approximately 1,100 RPM with external sterile
irrigation. The pilot bur must completely
penetrate the crestal cortex.
2 After half the necessary depth is achieved,
remove the pilot drill and insert a paralleling
pin into the newly formed osteotomy
to assess the positioning and trajectory
of the preliminary pilot osteotomy. Use
intermittent pumping actions to clean
bone from the pilot drill flutes.
3 Place the vacuum formed template over a
paralleling pin to confirm the appropriateness
of the preliminary osteotomy. It is still
possible to change the positioning and
trajectory of the osteotomy, if necessary.
4 If the trajectory is appropriate, continue
drilling with the pilot drill to the depth
marking, which will allow for the chosen

aesthetic areas, the implant should be placed
5.0mm below the buccal gingiva.

Keys to Success
To facilitate removal of the reamer from
the osteotomy, continue rotating the
reamer while it is being withdrawn.
In very dense bone, it may be necessary
to use the 2.5mm and 3.0mm latch
reamers at a speed of approximately
1,100 RPM with external sterile irrigation
to prepare an osteotomy.
Avoid clogging the reamer utes with
bone shavings since the bony walls of
the osteotomy may become overheated
due to friction.
Using latch reamer burs in excess of 50
RPM may result in overheated bone and
the subsequent failure of the implant to
osseointegrate.
Irrigation is not recommended since it
dilutes the blood in the socket and in the
harvested autogenous bone, which may
inhibit healing.
It is not necessary to use all reamers
in creating an osteotomy. One must
only nish the osteotomy with the nal
reamer and a reamer that is 0.5mm
smaller than the nal reamer. For
example, when drilling to a width of
5.0mm one must nish the osteotomy
with 4.5mm and 5.0mm reamers.

Latch Reamers
During the preparation of an osteotomy,
the latch reamers should be rotated at a
maximum of 50 RPM without irrigation.
The 400:1 handpiece will provide sufficient
speed reduction and increased torque to
appropriately prepare an osteotomy.
1 Using the 400:1 reduction handpiece and
a 2.5mm latch reamer, widen the pilot
osteotomy. It is best to use a two handed
drilling technique where one hand guides the
drill while the other applies apical pressure.
2 Place harvested autogenous bone,
intermittently removed from the flutes of the
reamer burs, into a silicone dappen dish for
later use.
3 The reamers are used sequentially beginning
with a 2.5mm diameter and ending with the
diameter of the intended implant. The newest
reamers have horizontal markings at 6.0, 8.0,
11, 14 and 17mm, whereas older reamers may
have different markings. It is imperative
that the depth indicators on the latch
reamers are identified prior to surgery.
No assumptions should be made about
the height of the first marking on any
latch reamer.
4 Drill to the depth that will allow the chosen
implant to be seated below the bone. For
aesthetic reasons the implant should be
placed 5.0mm below the buccal gingiva.

Hand Reamers
1 The threaded straight handle in conjunction
with the 2.5mm hand reamer may be used
to enlarge a pilot osteotomy. A two handed
technique should also be used with this
manual drilling method. One hand will rotate
the straight handle, while the other feels and
monitors the bone plates.
2 Place harvested autogenous bone in the
silicone dappen dish for later use.
3 The hand reamers are used sequentially to
widen and in some situations to deepen an
osteotomy to the size of the intended implant.
Hand reamers are marked horizontally at 6.0,
8.0, 11, 14 and 17mm.
4 Drill to the depth which will allow for the

Thread hand reamers
Keys to Success
Hand reamers oer greater control
for the preparation of maxillary
osteotomies. They help to ensure
avoiding inadvertent penetration
of the sinuses, nasal oor and walls
of the osteotomy.
The use of hand reamers facilitates
the clinicians perception of the
harder cortical layers of bone
before they are penetrated.
Since hand reamers have only
one cutting surface, they allow
for cutting only the palatal side
of an osteotomy while expanding
the buccal wall in the opposite
direction.
Irrigation is not recommended since
it dilutes the blood in the socket
and in the harvested autogenous
bone, which may inhibit healing.

Surgical Placement: Implant Insertion
Option 1: Healing Plug Inserter
1 Prior to the seating of an implant, the integrity
of the osteotomys bony structure should
be thoroughly assessed with a curette while
the bone shavings are being completely
removed from the osteotomy.
2 Confirm the prepared sockets depth with a
depth gauge. If the site is not deep enough
for placement of an implant 5.0mm below
the crest of the buccal gingiva, make the
necessary depth changes with a pilot drill and
latch or hand reamers. Do not flush a socket
to remove blood.
3 The implants sterile blister pack is dropped
onto a sterile tray prior to removing its tyvek
backing before the implants inner packaging
is cut with a pair of scissors.
4 Grasp the healing plug inserter with gloved
fingers or forceps. Using the healing plug
inserter, insert the implant into the blood
filled osteotomy. Note: The implant should
not touch anything prior to being placed
and rotated into the prepared bleeding
socket. The implant should be wet with
blood during seating.
5 The implant may be more definitively seated
into an osteotomy by using a seating tip
with the straight or offset handles. The
implant may be tapped with the healing plug
inserter in place, or directly into the well of
the implant. Use the 2.0mm implant/angled
abutment seating tip when tapping on a
healing plug inserter or a 2.0mm implant
well. Use the 3.0mm implant seating tip when
tapping directly into a 3.0mm implant well.
Note: Care must be taken to assure
that the seating tip is fully seated in an
implant well prior to tapping to avoid
distortion of the well, which could
subsequently prevent the complete
locking taper engagement of an
abutment.

Surgical Placement: Implant Insertion
Option 2: Implant Inserter
The inserter/retriever instruments can be
used to either insert an implant into an
osteotomy with a turning and pushing
motion or to remove an implant from
its osteotomy with a turning and pulling
motion.
1 Prior to the seating of an implant, the integrity
of the osteotomys bony structure should
be assessed with a curette while the bone
shavings are being completely removed.
2 Check the prepared sockets depth with a
depth gauge. If the site is not deep enough
for placement of an implant 5.0mm below
the crest of the buccal gingiva, make the
necessary depth changes with a pilot drill and
latch or hand reamers. Do not flush a socket
to remove blood.
3 The implants sterile blister pack is dropped
onto a sterile tray prior to removing its tyvek
backing before the implants inner packaging
is cut with a pair of scissors.
4 Remove the implants black healing plug
inserter while holding the implant in its sterile
bag prior to inserting the appropriate implant
inserter/retriever into the well of the implant.
5 Select the inserter/retriever by matching the
diameter of the instrument with the diameter
of the implant well. Attach a threaded
knob or the threaded straight handle to
the inserter/retriever. It is essential for a
clinician to understand how an implant
is disengaged from the inserter retriever
instrument prior to using it intra-orally.
6 Insert the implant into the osteotomy and
rotate the inserter/retriever assembly while
pressing it apically. To disengage the implant
from the inserter/retriever, hold the assembly
while turning the central knob counter
clockwise, which will then push the implant
off the inserter/retriever instrument.

Surgical Placement: Two Stage Surgical Technique
Two Stage Surgical Placement
1 The plastic healing plug is trimmed smoothly
either intra-orally or extra-orally with healing
plug cutters or a pair of scissors to the level
of the crest of the ridge to minimize mucosal
irritation during healing.
2 The space around the top of the seated
implant is covered with the autogenous
bone particles that were harvested from the
flutes of the reamers during the osteotomy
site preparation. Alternatively, if necessary,
a grafting material may be used in lieu of
autogenous bone. Do not submerge the
plastic healing plug too deeply, since
it may be difficult to locate after the
implant has osseointegrated.
3 The mucoperiosteal flaps are approximated
with sutures.
Note: Care should be taken to insure that
closure is achieved to prevent seepage of oral
fluids into the implant site and the loss of
grafted particles from the site. Membranes may
facilitate site closure.

Keys to Success
Use HA treated implants for sites with poor quality bone.
Repair any penetration or fenestration of the osteotomy with a bone
graft either with or without the use of a membrane.
Avoid transmucosal loading of the newly placed implant.
Provide appropriate antibiotic coverage after implant placement.
If there is only lateral movement of the implant after an appropriate
period of healing, it may indicate the need for additional healing time.
However, apical mobility of the implant usually indicates a failure of
the implant to osseointegrate.
To facilitate the seating of angled abutments, use a sulcus reamer that
is one size larger than the actual abutment diameter.
Cover with autogenous bone
2a 2b
Two Stage Surgical Uncovering
After a minimum of two to four months of
healing, the implant is surgically uncovered.
1 Locate the black healing plug. In non-
aesthetic areas, a slightly lingual or
palatal crestal incision is made with only
enough periosteal reflection to expose
the black healing plug. For aesthetic
areas, the incision should be semi-lunar.
2 Remove the black healing plug by pressing
the healing plug removal instrument into
its center hole and using a simultaneous
twisting and pulling motion or a continuous
twisting motion until the plug is dislodged.
Alternatively, other dental instruments such a
#110 endodontic reamer, scaler, or round bur
may be used to remove a healing plug.
3 Insert an appropriately sized guide pin
corresponding to the implants 2.0 or
3.0mm well diameter to ascertain the
implants osseointegration by evaluating
its mobility. Mobility may indicate non-
osseointegration.
4 If the implant is deeply placed, the use of an
extended guide pin may be necessary. Its use
will prevent the unnecessary removal of bone
over the implant.
5 Remove any bone which may prevent the
seating of the intended impression post by
using the appropriately sized impression
reamer. Attach the impression reamer to a
threaded handle or knob. Insert the assembly
onto the appropriate guide pin seated in
the implant well and rotate while applying
apical pressure, which will shape the bone to
accommodate the desired impression post.
6 Remove any bone or soft tissue which
may prevent the seating of the intended
abutment by using an appropriately sized
sulcus reamer. The diameter of the sulcus
reamer corresponds to the diameter of the
intended abutment. Attach the sulcus reamer
to a threaded straight handle or knob. Insert
the assembly onto the appropriate guide pin
seated in the implant well and rotate while
applying apical pressure, which will shape the
bone to accommodate the desired abutment.
Note: To facilitate the seating of angled
abutments, use a sulcus reamer that is one size
larger than the actual abutment diameter.

Surgical Placement: Immediate Stabilization and Function
The Immediate Stabilization and Function technique is a predictable treatment
regardless of the quality of bone or the initial stability of the implant in the
osteotomy. The only criterion for success of this treatment (in addition
to the normal implant placement techniques) is the chairside prosthetic
stabilization of the implant with a transitional prosthesis. The prosthesis
must be stabilized by bonding it to adjacent teeth or to other implants during
the period of osseointegration. A close working relationship between the
surgical and restorative dentist must be present for successful treatment with
a compliant patient who will monitor and attempt to preserve the immobility
of the transitional prosthesis.
Protocol for Immediate Stabilization and Function Technique for a Single Tooth and Multiple Teeth:
Materials
HA coated implants (recommended)
Stealth shouldered abutments
Tall and short acrylic sleeves
Vacuum-formed template of intended
transitional prosthesis
Transitional crown bonding materials
Transitional crown composite material:
Integrity by Dentsply and/or
DiamondCrown by DRM

Immediate Stabilization and
Function Technique
1 Extract tooth and/or prepare osteotomy in
conventional manner.
2 Prior to preparing the osteotomy, etch and
prepare the adjacent teeth or crowns for
bonding.
3 Insert appropriate implant so that it is at
least 5.0mm below the buccal soft tissue.
Harvested bone may be placed over the
implant prior to removal of the black healing
plug or the inserter/retriever.
4 Use shoulder depth gauge to determine the
appropriate shouldered abutment height.
The 5.0 x 4.0mm or the 4.0 x 3.5mm
shouldered abutments are usually the
appropriate abutments to be utilized. If
shrinkage of tissue were to occur during the
healing phase, a shorter abutment height
may be used for the final prosthesis for a
subgingival margin.
5 Choose appropriate shouldered abutment
width based on the anatomy of interproximal
papillae. Abutments and acrylic sleeves
should be wide enough to support
the interproximal papillae without
encroaching upon the papillae.
6 Based on anatomical space considerations
assemble a tall or short acrylic sleeve to the
abutment intra-orally or extra-orally.

7 Place selected shouldered abutment into
implant with finger pressure only for
fabrication of a transitional stabilization
prosthesis.
8 Inject transitional crown material around the
acrylic sleeves to make an acrylic strut or
bridge between the adjacent teeth.
9 Place a reinforcing fiber such as Connect
by Kerr into lingual aspect of template to
strengthen the transitional prosthesis. The
reinforcing ribbon is usually not necessary
when using sufficient bulk of Integrity
or DiamondCrown for the transitional
prosthesis.
10 Place transitional crown material into the
occlusal half of vacuum formed template and
insert the template over the acrylic sleeves
and strut intra-orally to form the transitional
prosthesis.
11 Remove template and polish transitional
prosthesis leaving interproximal extensions for
stability.
12 Place polished transitional prosthesis onto
abutment to confirm fit and occlusion. Usually,
no cement is required between the prosthesis
and the abutments, since the transitional
prosthesis snaps onto the abutments.
13 Bond transitional prosthesis to adjacent teeth
in a secure manner to stabilize the transitional
restoration. Alternatively, if care is taken, the
prosthesis may be bonded directly onto the
adjacent teeth without being removed for
polishing, especially for a single implant when
DiamondCrown is used as a veneer over the
adjacent teeth.
14 IMPORTANT: Admonish patient that it is
of paramount importance that there be
NO movement of the bonded transitional
prosthesis. Have patient return for
additional bonding, if any movement of
the transitional prosthesis is perceived.
15 After a minimum of 10 weeks of healing, the
transitional prosthesis may be removed and
the implants may be restored in the intended
manner.
16 Final restorations and radiograph of Integrated
Abutment Crowns.
Note: Statistically, a 2.0mm diameter abutment
post will move 0.1mm into the well of an implant
from its initial insertion to its being denitively
seated, and a 3.0mm abutment will move
0.25mm. It is advisable to have a compliant
patient who will monitor the site for mobility.

1 Insert the implant using a seating tip or an
inserter/retriever.
2 Place a temporary abutment into the clean
dry well of the implant. The temporary
abutment should be wide enough to
support the interproximal papillae without
encroaching upon them. The temporary
abutment must have sufficient length
to provide support for the soft tissue
and short enough so that it does not
interfere with the temporary prosthesis.
3 Using the straight or offset driver and
a seating tip, lightly tap the temporary
abutment into place. Use caution to avoid
seating the implant farther into the osteotomy
than the desired depth. If necessary, contour
any excess tissue.
4 It may be necessary to approximate the
mucoperiosteal flaps with sutures.
Note: The osteotomy must be wide enough
at the crest to allow for the full seating of the
temporary abutment; counter sinking may be
achieved by using a latch, hand or sulcus reamer
to widen the orifice of the osteotomy.

Keys to Success
The temporary abutment should be the same or smaller diameter of

Avoid placing pressure from the tongue on the temporary abutments
and implants.
Do not use the one stage surgical procedure with a removable
transitional, full or partial overdenture.
If necessary, contour temporary abutments to provide space for the
formation of interproximal papillae.

References: Handpiece Maintenance
Handpiece Considerations
The 400:1 handpiece has su cient torque to cut through bone at 50 RPM.
The 18:1 handpiece is designed to be used with the pilot drill at ~1,100 RPM with external irrigation.
Irrigation is not necessary at speeds of 50 RPM or lower.
Failure to observe speed limitation may result in burned or overheated bone which could result in substantial bone
necrosis.
The 20,000 RPM Air Motor attaches to conventional four hole dental tubing and is an alternative to the electric drill unit.
Air pressure of at least 80 PSI is recommended to drive the air motor with su cient torque in dense bone.
Proper maintenance of handpieces is crucial for long term success of handpieces.
Do not exceed 132C (275F) when sterilizing.
In order to prevent discoloration and/or damage to the plating of the handpieces from chemicals that are not
su ciently cleaned from other instruments, do not autoclave the handpieces with other instruments.
Always check the handpiece for any abnormal vibration, heating, noise, or sluggish operation. If any abnormality is
noticed, cease the use of the handpiece.
Handpiece Maintenance
Cleaning and Lubrication
Clean and lubricate the contra-angle handpiece after each use.
Attach the metal spray nozzle into the back of the handpiece and insert the pana spray into the metal spray nozzle.
(Figure 1)
Spray for approximately 2 seconds
Disassemble the head from the handpiece using the supplied wrench. (Figure 2)
Spray into the head. (Figure 3)
Assemble the head to the handpiece sheath in the reverse order of disassembly. Make sure that the two keys at the
union nut align with the slots in the sheath and tighten the union nut.
Wipe the assembled handpiece clean.
Sterilization
The 400:1 and 18:1 handpieces are autoclavable.
Wipe any debris o with an alcohol-soaked cloth.
Lubricate the handpiece using spray lubricant. Insert the handpiece into a sterilizing pouch and seal it.
Autoclave for 15 minutes at 132 C (275 F). Do not set the sterilizer temperature above 132 C (275 F).
To expel excess oil, operate the handpiece before using it intra-orally.

Indirect Abutment Level Impression
Modifed and unmodifed
color-coded impression sleeves
are defnitively seated on their
corresponding abutments.
Impression material is injected
around the impression sleeves
for the making of an abutment
level transfer impression.
Acrylic impression sleeves withdrawn in impression
material prior to impression being sent to
the laboratory.
Soft tissue material being injected
around impression sleeves and
abutment transfer dies.
Notes: Snap-on sleeves are only specic for abutment diameter. Abutment height is not a criterion for proper selection of snap-on sleeves. Transfer dies correspond to exact diameter and height of abutment placed.
Because of machining tolerances, acrylic sleeves may not reach the height of contour for some angled abutments.
