One implant-abutment connection in two sizes To minimize the number of components for simplified treatment planning and inventory management, the Conical Seal Design implant-abutment connection now comes in just two sizes — small and large. In order to clearly differentiate the new components from the previous ones, the color-coding system has been changed. The new aqua and lilac colors now correspond to the implant-abutment connection sizes. The previous color-coding system corresponded to the implant diameter. Additionally, some abutments and components that have an implant connection are now laser-marked for simplified identification of their connection size. For your convenience, abutment screws are included with the abutments. New color-coding for implant-abutment connection sizes: • Aqua – Small: Implant diameters 3.5 and 4.0 • Lilac – Large: Implant diameters 4.5 and 5.0 Aqua 3.5 and 4.0 diameter implants and their corresponding abutments and components have changed. These products, with the small implant-abutment connection, are not compatible and cannot be used interchangeably with previous implants, abutments or components. Lilac The large implant-abutment connection in 4.5 and 5.0 diameter implants and their corresponding components has not changed. Therefore, you can still use your previous inventory of large connection sized abutments and components with any 4.5 and 5.0 diameter implant. SMALL Aqua Healing Abutment marked with lines to identify connection size. 3.5/4.0 – marked with 2 lines. 4.5/5.0 – marked with 3 lines. 3.5 S 4.0 S M 1.6 Abutment Screw Design M1.6 for 3.5 and 4.0 diameter implants. However, because the measuring system has been changed for new abutments and components, we recommend that new products are used together whenever possible. Refer to “One measuring system for all abutments” on page 6 for detailed information. M 2 LARGE Lilac 4.5 5.0 5.0 S Abutment Screw M2 for 4.5 and 5.0 diameter implants. 4
New packaging All packaging for implants, abutments and components that have an implant connection will be color-coded aqua or lilac to identify their implant-abutment connection size. Implant packaging Implants are supplied dry-sterilized, and their outer containers will remain the same. However, both the container and cap are semi-transparent to facilitate the differentiation of new implants from previous ones. New implant packaging Implant diameters and lengths are clearly marked on the packages. Like previous implants, the inner containers of the implant packaging are lasermarked with the implant diameter and length. New abutment packaging Abutment and component packaging Packaging of abutments and components with an implant connection will be color-coded with either a circle or a hexagon for easy identification of their corresponding implant-abutment connection size and of their indexing capabilities: Indexed abutments and components. Non-indexed abutments and components (NI). Convenient labeling To help facilitate the process of maintaining important information in the patient records, the label can easily be peeled off and adhered to the patient or communication forms. All sterile packed abutments and components have the same feature. 5
