GAP Australasian Dentist Sept Oct 2020

Category 32 Australasian Dentist All implants reached satisfactory placement depths and stability. All implants reached final insertion torque value > 30 Ncm and RFA-value of > 70 ISQ. The two posterior implants were placed at an angle in the mesial sinus wall to maximize contact with available bone, increase stability, and to avoid penetration of the sinus membrane (Figure 9). To achieve optimal prosthetic rehabilitation these tilted implants need to be re-angulated. The Neoss Angulation Gauge was used to measure the degree of angulation (Figure 10). Angulated Neoss Access Abutments were connected to the implants to align the prosthesis interfaces and thereby making it easier to achieve a passive fit of the prosthesis (Figure 11 – 12). No soft tissue grafting was needed. Neoss Access PEEK Healing Abutments were placed on the Access abutments (Figure 13) before suturing the flap with PGA sutures (Figure 14). Radiograph showing implant positions and their re-angulation in accordance with the Neoss4+ concept (Figure 15). The patient’s existing denture was converted to a fixed provisional prosthesis and connected 4 days after surgery (Figure 16). u Figure 11 Figure 15 Figure 13 Figure 12 Figure 16 Figure 14 clinical • updated design • easier width adjustment • easy sway tension adjustment • lifetime structural warranty • also available in NEW Pro Small model for narrow pelvis • standard style forward back lockable tilt available www.salli.com.au ph 1300 048 112 PRO The new Salli Pro raises the bar yet again when it comes to premium ergonomic seating.
