Frequently asked questions What implants are affected by this new change in implant-abutment connection? Only the connection of 3.5/4.0 implants have changed. The pre-mounted carrier, however, has been removed from all implants for simplified handling. What is the Wrench Adapter used for? The Wrench Adapter (REF 24572) was developed so existing surgical customers can use their existing Surgical Wrench (REF 24178) and/or Torque Wrench (REF 24075) for implant placement with the new Implant Drivers. What is the purpose of the new Driver Handle? The Driver Handle, in combination with the Ratchet Wrench, can be used for fi nal seating of the implant. How do I distinguish between the two different connections and identify their corresponding components? All packaging for the components will be color-coded to indicate the size of the connection that they correspond to: aqua for the small connection (3.5/4.0) and lilac for the large connection (4.5/5.0). Some components with an implant connection (eg. Healing Abutments) are laser-marked for identification of their implant-abutment connection size. How does the new depth measuring for prosthetic components work? The measuring system is stated in millimeters, with the “0” starting point located at the implant level. This applies to all components that connects into the implants. The measurements in the names of the components reflect the height from the implant level to the restorative margin. Can the packaging labels for abutments be used for patient records/communication forms similar to the implants? Yes. For your convenience, a perforated section of the packaging label of all sterile abutments and components can be removed and is adhesive for simplified documentation. Will all restorative components have color-coded labels? Yes, all sterile and non-sterile abutments and components with an implant connection will be color-coded to indicate the implant-abutment connection size. Since the 4.5 and 5.0 implants have remained the same, can I use existing abutments that I already have in inventory with the new 4.5/5.0 implants? Yes, however, because the measuring system of components and abutments that fit into the implant has been changed, it is recommended that new components and abutments are used together whenever possible. Can I use the existing replicas that I currently have in the laboratory? Due to the change in the internal threads of 3.5/4.0 implants, previous replicas for these implants are not compatible with the new implants and only new replicas can be used. Replicas for 4.5/5.0 implants can be used for both previous and new versions of the implants. 10
