BALL ABUTMENT<br />

ANCHORING SYSTEM<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

In implantological hybrid pros<strong>the</strong>tics, ball abutment restorations represent<br />

movable anchorings that allow rotational movements of <strong>the</strong> pros<strong>the</strong>sis in<br />

one or more directions respectively vertical translation movements. Ball<br />

abutments should generally be perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> occlusal plane to make<br />

axial loading of <strong>the</strong> implant possible.<br />

TASKS OF A BALL ANCHORING RESTORATION<br />

• Protecting <strong>the</strong> pros<strong>the</strong>sis against shearing and lifting forces<br />

• Shear distribution<br />

• Possible axial transfer of mastication forces between <strong>the</strong> pros<strong>the</strong>sis<br />

and implant<br />

• Resilience compensation through degrees of freedom<br />

INDICATIONS:<br />

• Resilient anchoring of implant-supported full dentures for <strong>the</strong><br />

edentulous maxilla and mandible in combination <strong>with</strong> 2 <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ®<br />

implants to secure a tangential rotation axis.<br />

• Anchoring of implant-supported full dentures for <strong>the</strong> edentulous<br />

maxilla and mandible in combination <strong>with</strong> 4 <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® implants.<br />

CONTRAINDICATIONS:<br />

• Uneven number of implants per arch<br />

• Improperly placed implants that prevent a tangential rotation axis<br />

• Combination <strong>with</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r retention devices<br />

• Use <strong>with</strong> disparallel-placed implants <strong>with</strong> an angulation of more than<br />

10° to <strong>the</strong> implant axis<br />

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION<br />

HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® IMPLANT SYSTEM<br />

<strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutments are color-coded and available for <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® implants<br />

in <strong>the</strong> 3.3/3.8/4.3/5.0 mm diameters in various gingival heights.<br />

<strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutment sets are also available consisting of a <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ®<br />

ball abutment, red duplication aid/spacer, stabilizing ring and ball abutment<br />

analog. The ball diameter is 2.25 mm.<br />

The driver for <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutments, manual/wrench, is used to screw<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutments into its final position in <strong>the</strong> <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® implants.<br />

The torque for <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutment Ø 3.3 mm is 20 Ncm and<br />

for Ø 3.8/4.3/5.0 mm 30 Ncm.<br />

After insertion, <strong>the</strong> ball abutment plateau should be at least 1.0 mm supragingival.<br />
