Prosthetic concept

Solutions for larger tooth gaps

Ankylos also provides a large range of options for
restoration in larger edentulous gaps and free-
ends – both, for conventional restorations as well as
for digitally fabricated CAD/CAM prosthetics. The
following is an overview of the options for providing
your patients with a multi-span bridge.
Conventionally
fabricated solutions for
Bridges /
anterior region
Esthetic:
Ankylos Balance
Anterior C/ or /X
The design of the
Ankylos Balance
Anterior C/ and /X
abutments is specially
adapted to the ana-
tomical and peri-implant
situation in the anterior
region.
A wide assortment of
indexed and non-
indexed design variants
and the option of grin-
ding the abutments
provide optimal inte-
gration for the bridges
which can be cemented
or laterally screw-
retained.

Conventionally fabricated solutions for
Bridges / posterior region
Esthetic:
Ankylos Regular
C/ or /X
The particular strength
of the Ankylos Regular
C/ and /X abutments is
in the posterior region.
Thanks to the convex
sulcus design, you can
also optimally fulfill the
esthetic requirements of
your patients in the side
tooth region.
Indexed and non-
indexed customizable
abutments with a
wide range of forms
and sizes facilitate the
efficient fabrication of
the bridges which can
be cemented or laterally
screw-retained.
Directions: see page 30 ff.
As well as a bridge, in these cases, restoration is also
possible using single crowns following a tooth-by-
tooth concept. For this purpose, make your decision
using the options shown on the previous page for
single-tooth restorations.
Functional:
Ankylos Regular C/ or /X
with 3-in-1 cap
If you require a simple,
economical solution,
Ankylos Regular C/ and
/X abutments with 3-in-1
cap are your first choice.
The abutment selected
at the chairside remains
in the mouth during the
entire treatment proce-
dure; there is no need
to change abutment
components. Taking the
impression on the abut-
ment level, fabricating a
temporary denture at the
chairside and fabricating
the cementable bridge
in the laboratory are all
performed on the multi-
functional cap, which is
simply clicked onto the
abutment in the patient's
mouth.
Directions: see page 30 ff.
Functional:
Ankylos Standard C/
Ankylos Standard C/
abutments are another
option for straight-
forward reconstruction
of edentulous gaps by
means of caps that can
be attached to the
integrated abutments.
Due to the narrower
design of the standard
abutments, these are
particularly suitable for
more confined spaces.
Both cementable and
screw-retained bridges
can be fabricated on
Ankylos Standard C/
abutments.
