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

BALL ABUTMENT<br />

ANCHORING SYSTEM<br />

After <strong>the</strong> impression is taken successfully, <strong>the</strong> clinician must communicate<br />

<strong>the</strong> implant diameters used for cast fabrication to <strong>the</strong> dental laboratory.<br />

Brass ball abutment analogs of <strong>the</strong> appropriate diameter are <strong>the</strong>n inserted<br />

in <strong>the</strong> impression <strong>with</strong>out stabilizing rings. The guide areas of <strong>the</strong> circular<br />

plateau ensure that <strong>the</strong> implant axis is transferred precisely to <strong>the</strong> master<br />

cast. The cast is fabricated in <strong>the</strong> usual manner <strong>with</strong> suitable material.<br />

INTEGRATING THE MATRICES<br />

Before placing <strong>the</strong> matrices, <strong>the</strong> lamella retention inserts are insulated <strong>with</strong><br />

vaseline. The matrices are positioned and aligned by <strong>the</strong> same procedure<br />

when fabricating a new ball abutment-retained full denture. The areas underneath<br />

are blocked out <strong>with</strong> plaster. No acrylic should get into <strong>the</strong> inner<br />

configuration of <strong>the</strong> matrices!<br />

The existing pros<strong>the</strong>sis base is hollow ground and perforated in <strong>the</strong> area of<br />

<strong>the</strong> matrices specifically. The perforation is used for visual control and to<br />

allow acrylic to escape. The matrix housings can be stained <strong>with</strong> pink opaquer<br />

as required after conditioning <strong>the</strong> surface.<br />

NOTE<br />

After hollow grinding during <strong>the</strong> subsequent try-in on <strong>the</strong> cast, <strong>the</strong> pros<strong>the</strong>sis<br />

must not come into contact <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> matrices and block outs!<br />
