3.4, 4 and 5mm implants. MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS Miscellaneous standard drivers and ratchets are included in the system to place BIOMET 3i Implants. These tools include the following: PHD02N, RASH3N, MDR10, CW100, WR150 and RE100.
Surgical Plan Overview The Parallel Walled Navigator System For Guided ® Surgery works in conjunction with the surgical plan, which is provided by the CT planning software company. Each surgical plan is case-specific to provide direction regarding the instrumentation that will be used for each implant site.
Surgical Guide. Remove the Surgical Guide and the tissue plugs. Then, replace and fixate the Surgical Guide. • Implants currently compatible with the Navigator ® System Include: • All instrumentation should be advanced as far as possible through the Master Tube(s) or the Drill Positioning •...

Tips And Techniques (Cont’d) • Use copious irrigation on instruments prior to and during use to provide lubrication and cooling when passing through the Master Tube(s) and/or Drill Positioning Handle(s). Irrigate and suction the osteotomy and tubes to remove debris between each step of the Surgical Plan and prior to implant placement.
BIOMET 3i Implants using the Parallel Walled Navigator System For Guided Surgery. The CT software company may also offer the option of fabricating a stereo lithographic model for use in creating a master cast.
Fabrication Of A New Denture Or Partial Denture And CT Scanning Appliance 1. CLINICIAN Make impressions of the maxillary and mandibular arches. 2. LABORATORY Pour the maxillary and mandibular impressions in die stone. Fabricate baseplate(s) and wax occlusal rim(s) on the cast(s). 3.
Page 17
Fabrication Of A New Denture Or Partial Denture And CT Scanning Appliance (continued) 5. CLINICIAN Place the wax try-in(s) in the mouth. Verify the occlusion, aesthetics and phonetics. Make any adjustments necessary. If major adjust- ments are necessary, make a new interocclusal registration and return to the laboratory for a new set-up and wax try-in.
Fabrication Of CT Scanning Appliance Using An Existing Denture (continued) 1. CLINICIAN OR LABORATORY Using a denture duplication flask, mix the duplication material and place it into one side of the flask. Place the patient’s existing denture into the material with the soft-tissue side down. Allow the duplication material to set per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pre-Surgical Fabrication Of An Edentulous Fixed Provisional Restoration Fabrication Of Master Cast, Articulation And Vacuum Formed Template 1. LABORATORY Select the proper diameter and length Analog Mounts for each implant position following the instructions provided by the Surgical Guide manufacturer. Place the Implant Analogs onto the Analog Mounts, line up the hexes and thread the thumb screws into these approximately two turns.
Pre-Surgical Fabrication Of A Partially Edentulous Fixed Provisional Restoration Fabrication Of Master Cast, Articulation And Vacuum Formed Template 1. LABORATORY Select the proper diameter and length Analog Mounts for each implant position following the instructions provided by the Surgical Guide manufacturer. Place the Implant Analogs onto the Analog Mounts, line up the hexes and thread the thumb screws into these approximately two turns.
Cement-Retained PreFormance Post ® Continued from Laboratory Procedure (Steps 1-4) on page 17. ABUTMENT SELECTION Measure the soft-tissue depth in the interproximal areas at each location and select the proper abutment collar height that will allow the margin to be at soft-tissue level or slightly below after preparation.
Page 22
Cement-Retained PreFormance Post ® (continued) Remove the template from the PreFormance Posts. Remove the provisional restoration from the template. Remove all excess acrylic resin from around the margin areas and fill in any voids. Finish the restoration to the desired contour and polish.
Cement-Retained Provide Abutment ® And Temporary Cylinder Continued from Laboratory Procedure (Steps 1-4) on page 17. ABUTMENT SELECTION Select the proper Provide Abutment collar height for each implant by measuring the soft-tissue depth on the buccal side at each position. If a 1mm subgingival margin is desired, subtract 1mm.

Cement-Retained Provide Abutment And ® Temporary Cylinder (continued) Remove the template from the Provide Abutments with the temporary cylinders inside the acrylic resin. Remove the provisional restoration from the template. Remove the temporary cylinders from the provisional restoration. Remove all excess acrylic resin from around the margin areas and fill in any voids.
Screw-Retained Low Profile Abutment And Temporary Cylinder Continued from Laboratory Procedure (Steps 1-4) on page 16. ABUTMENT SELECTION Select the proper Low Profile Abutment collar height for each implant by measuring the soft-tissue depth on the buccal side at each location. If a 1mm subgingival margin is desired, subtract 1mm.
Page 26
Screw-Retained Low Profile Abutment And Temporary Cylinder (continued) Clear the cylinder screw access opening and remove the retaining screw from the selected cylinder. Remove the template from the cast over the non-processed cylinders with the selected temporary cylinder inside the acrylic resin. Remove the provisional restoration from the template. Remove all excess acrylic resin from around the margin areas and fill in any voids.
Screw-Retained PreFormance Temporary Cylinder ® Continued from Laboratory Procedure (Steps 1-4) on page 16. ABUTMENT SELECTION PreFormance Temporary Cylinders are designed for allow acrylic resin to be added to develop the desired subgingival and supragingival contour to the restoration. The hexed cylinder is used for single-units and the non-hexed cylinder is used for multiple-unit provisional restorations.
