Mixed abutments: passivity without constraint

June 2009

gaine_mixte
Discover a simple and economic technique for creating screw-retained bonded bridges: the use of hybrid abutments. Composed of a titanium abutment combined with a burnout outer sheath, they are now available on all of our implants. The titanium abutment is screw-retained to the implants and allows a precise and robust implant/abutment connection to be maintained. Once transformed, the burnout oversheath is bonded to the titanium abutments after creating and validating the cosmetic assembly. This technique ensures perfect passivity between the prosthetic coating and the screw-retained abutments. Simple and effective, treat yourself to passivity without constraint.

Indispensable both in the lab and in the practice, it is designed to maintain, by means of an analogue, the abutment which needs to have its gingival profile, height and size altered to personalise the prosthesis. The grinding handle ensures a precise and comfortable procedure and is suitable for all brands of implants.
