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

BALL ABUTMENT<br />

ANCHORING SYSTEM<br />

RELINING OF A BALL ABUTMENT-RETAINED<br />

FULL DENTURE<br />

The denture-bearing area must be checked at regular intervals and if<br />

necessary adjusted by relining to ensure that <strong>the</strong> ball-retained, soft tissuesupported<br />

denture retains its long-term function.<br />

IMPRESSION TAKING<br />

The denture base is prepared in accordance <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> procedures for a relining<br />

impression. For easy removal of <strong>the</strong> relining impression, <strong>the</strong> lamella<br />

retention inserts must be deactivated in <strong>the</strong> matrices <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> screwdriver/<br />

activator for ball abutment matrix before taking <strong>the</strong> impression. The lamella<br />

retention insert must not be extend out of <strong>the</strong> matrix housing (see "Setting<br />

<strong>the</strong> retention force"on page 42).<br />

The relining impression is taken over <strong>the</strong> <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutments directly<br />

<strong>with</strong>out accessories. The <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® ball abutments must be fully overmolded<br />

and integrated <strong>with</strong> impression material. Silicone or polye<strong>the</strong>r are<br />

suitable impression materials.<br />

CAST FABRICATION<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> matrices in <strong>the</strong> impression <strong>with</strong>out stabilizing rings. The guide areas<br />

of <strong>the</strong> circular plateau ensure that <strong>the</strong> implant axis is transferred precisely<br />

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

material.<br />
