Overdenture Abutment

Application: This component is used for clip-on prosthetic parts. The PC2 plastic clip must be incorporated into the prosthesis. Alternatively the Silicone prosthetic part can be made to adhere directly to this ball abutment. Placement: This component is used for clip-on prosthetic parts.

Second stage surgery is commonly done by way of an incision over the implant, reflection of the skin, securing the abutment and then suturing the skin around the abutment. An alternative method is to punch a cylinder of skin out, above the implant. This is done using the handpiece-driven tissue cutter, I-TC1. Ensure that the hex engages the hex of the implant. Place the OBE abutment, tightening the screw to 20Ncm using the 1.22 Hexdriver (I-HD-M). To avoid inflamation of the tissue it is imperative that the skin is thinned down around the implant. Prosthetic Reconstruction: Arubber-based impression is taken of the region. The laboratory analogues are then inserted into the sockets created by the OBE’s in the impression material. The model is then cast, incorporating the stem of the AO2.
