Ankylos Regular /X
Placing the Ankylos Regular /X
abutments
Fix the Ankylos Regular /X
abutment in the desired position
and screw it to the master cast
with the Ankylos laboratory
screwdriver with torque control.
With a lateral retention screw align
the lateral thread in a favorable
insertion direction in the index.
If the position of the Regular /X
abutment is unfavorable
because of the index, a non-
indexed Regular C/ abutment
can be used in consultation
with the dentist.

Customizing the Ankylos
Regular /X abutments
Grind the Regular /X abutment
to adjust it to the individual
situation. The prefabricated taper
surfaces and the index must
not be processed. Grinding the
Ankylos Regular /X abutment in
the Ankylos handle for abutment
analogs and abutments makes
them easier to handle and prevents
damage to the master cast.
Therefore, make sure to have
placed a Regular C/X implant
analog.

position on the master cast with

with torque control. With a lateral
fixation screw align the lateral
thread in a favorable insertion
direction in the taper.
