Dental Implant Instructions For Use Indications Intra-Lock® Implants ...

The final seating of the implant(s) is achieved by the incremental turns of the Ratchet Wrench.
Should bone density demand, the osteotomy site should be further prepared via the utilization of the
Bone Tap. A Countersink Drill is also available for those clinicians choosing the option of exercising
a countersink technique.
The tip of the Drive-Lock TM (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to
carry the cover screw onto the implant, once inserted into the osteotomy site (Picture 5).
Radiographic Verification
At this point, take the appropriate radiograph(s) to confirm proper depth, seating, orientation and
placement of the implant(s).
Placement of the Healing Screw
After radiographic verification, a healing screw is then placed. The tip of the Drive-Lock TM ‚ (either for
contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant
and thread it into place.
Site Closure
Irrigate the site for the final time, approximate the flaps and secure with interrupted mattress sutures
or suture method of choice. It is important that maximum tissue adaptation be obtained.
Important Points to Remember
• Only titanium instruments should come in contact with the implant.
• The Conic Implants are designed to fit the drilled depth.
• If a removable prosthesis is used near the implant site, it should be generously relieved and a soft
tissue conditioner reline material placed.
Postoperative Care
Cold packs are recommended for the first 24 hours. Analgesics/Antibiotics may be prescribed at the
discretion of the practitioner. The patient is advised to favor the opposite side of the mouth, maintain
a soft diet and avoid hot liquids. Sutures may be removed after 5-7 days.
Warning

• Dental implant surgery is a complex dental procedure.
• Appropriate and adequate training in all phases of implant procedures
and proper technique is strongly recommended prior to implant use.
• Improper patient selection, diagnosis, treatment planning or technique
can result in implant failure and/or loss of supportive bone.
• The use of small diameter implants and angled abutments in the
posterior region of the mouth is not recommended due to possible failure
of the implant.
