    3. PREOPERATIVE PLANNING

    Careful treatment planning is of utmost importance. A comprehensive pre-im-plantation diagnosis, evaluation and plan are an absolute prerequisite to ensure treatment success. The implant forms the apical extension of the restoration and is thus the planning basis for the surgical procedure aiming at a specific prosthetic result. Close communication between the patient, dentist and dental technician is imperative to achieve excellent implant-borne restorations.

    3.1 WAX-UP/SET-UPTo determine the topographical situation, axial orientation and choice of implants, making a wax-up/set up using the previously prepared study cast is recommended. Subse-quently, the type of superstructure can be defined.The wax-up/set-up can later be used as the basis for a custom-made X-ray or drill template and for a temporary restoration.Abutments should always be loaded axially. Ideally, the long axis of the implant is aligned with the cusps of the opposing tooth. Extreme cusp formation should be avoided as this can lead to unphysiological loading.

    3.2 X-RAY TEMPLATE WITH REFERENCE SPHERESFor easier determination of bone availability, the use of an X-ray template with X-ray reference spheres is recommended. First, mark the selected implant positions on the study cast. Then fix the X-ray reference spheres at the marked points and make the vacuum-formed template with the spheres. The subsequently taken X-ray or computer tomography (CT) gives information on bone availability, quality and mucosal thickness. Based on these properties the number of implants, the exact implant positions, diameters and lengths can be determined.

    The X-ray reference sphere has a diameter of 5 mm. The image of the sphere on the X-ray provides the reference value for the magnifica-tion scale.

    3.3 CUSTOM-MADE DRILL TEMPLATEA custom-made drill template can facilitate planning and the preparation of the implant bed and enables precise use of the cutting instruments. The basis of planning when making this surgical template should be the desired prosthetic result.

    With these components, a surgical drill template can be produced in the usual manner:

    3.4 THERMOPLASTIC DRILL TEMPLATE

    Drill a hole in the previously determined implant position and axis in the plaster anatomic cast. Then insert the pin into the drilled hole in order to check the implant position. Subsequently, heat the template in water until it is soft and transparent. Place the template on the guide pin and press it onto the plaster teeth. After it has cooled and been disinfected, the thermoplastic drill template determines exactly how the pilot drill (Ø 2.2 mm) is to be guided.

    The Straumann® Bone Level Implant line puts a strong emphasis on esthetic considerations. It offers tailor-made solutions that allow for natural soft tissue shaping and maintenance in all indications. A versatile portfolio of healing and temporary abutments is available, including customizable products made of polymer for easy and fast processing.

    4. SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT

    4.1 SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

    3. Preoperative planning 4. Soft tissue management

    Esthetic results are crucially determined by successful soft tissue management. To optimize the soft tissue management process, various components with Consistent Emergence Profiles™ are available in the prosthetic portfolio of the Straumann® Bone Level Implant. This applies for all healing abutments, the temporary abutment and the abutments for the final restoration. Thus, the emergence profiles are uniform throughout the treatment process (for optimal healing abutment selection see chapter 4.3).

    4.2.1 Prefabricated Healing Abutment – Prosthetic procedure

    Step 1 – Insertion p Insert the healing abutment with the SCS screwdriver. The friction fit secures the healing abutment to the instrument during insertion and ensures safe handling.

    p Hand-tighten the healing abutment. The cone-in-cone design provides a tight connection between the two components.

    4. Soft tissue management

    Step 2 – Wound closure p Adapt the soft tissue and suture it back tightly around the abutment.

    15X.810.indd 17 24.10.12 13:26

  • 18

    The bottle-shaped healing abutment pre-shapes the soft tissue by allowing for a slight excess of mucosa during healing. The insertion of the final restoration pushes the formed tissue outward, supports the creation of a naturally shaped peri-implant soft tissue.

    4. Soft tissue management

    Optional: Bottle-shaped and Customizable Healing Abutment

    The customizable healing abutment allows for individual soft tissue management.

    NoteDo not use the customizable healing abutment for longer than 6 months.Healing abutments are delivered non-sterile and can be sterilized prior to use (see instructions, chapter 8).

    Step 1 – Preparation p Remove the healing cap or temporary restoration.

    p Remove the superstructure from the master cast and un-screw the abutment from the analog.

    p Clean and dry the interior of the implant and the abutment thoroughly.

    p Prepare the surface of the abutment corresponding to the cementation material which will be used (e.g. in case of adhesive bonding apply primer).

    p Condition the inner surface of the superstructure according to the instructions for use given by the according manufacturer (e.g. in case of adhesive bonding apply primer).

    6.5.2 Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment – Prosthetic procedureThe final restoration is delivered to the doctor’s office on the master cast.

    Step 2 – Final Insertion p Position the cleaned abutment in the implant. Tighten the screw to 35 Ncm using the SCS screwdriver along with the ratchet and the torque control device (see instructions in chapter 7.5).

    p Close the SCS screw channel with cotton and sealing compound (i.e. gutta-percha). This allows for later removal of the modified abutment in the event a restoration replacement is required.

    p Cement the superstructure onto the abutment.

    p Remove any excess cement.

    NoteOnly use an original Straumann® basal screw for ceramic abutment for the final insertion of the Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment.

    Step 1 – Preparing the Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment

    p For preparing the Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment chairside, follow the procedure for cement-retained restorations outlined in step 2 on p. 83–85.

    p Following the Ivoclar Vivadent grinding instrument rec-ommendations for IPS e.max®1 a regeneration firing for cement-retained crowns and bridges is not required. The regeneration firing has to be conducted if the Ivoclar Vivadent grinding instrument recommendations for IPS e.max®1 are not followed or if a further thermal pro-cessing is necessary. The regeneration firing parameter are: 65 °C (117 °F) per minute heating up to 1050 °C (1922 °F) / 15 minute holding time and long term cooling down with 25 °C (45 °F) per minute to 750 °C (1382 °F).

    6.5.3 Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment – Chairside procedure for temporary restorationsThe following case describes the usage of the Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment chairside.

    Step 2 – Placing the modified Straumann® Anatomic IPS e.max®1 Abutment

    p Place the abutment on the implant and tighten the screw with a torque between 15 Ncm and 35 Ncm using the SCS screwdriver along with the ratchet and the torque control device (see instructions in chapter 7.5).

    NoteBefore taking the abutment level impression the abutment needs to be torqued with 35 Ncm.
