Study Notes
- Impression copings remain embedded in the impression during the process of making a definitive cast
- In closed tray technique, copings stay attached to implants during impression retrieval and are placed back into impression with implant analogs
- Impression copings for bone-level open tray have a screw that attaches them to the implant, and an x-ray should be taken to check the correct seating
- Open tray impression technique involves unscrewing the impression coping to remove the tray from the mouth
- The closed tray concept includes a snap-on impression cap with a polymer cap, metal post, and metal screw
- Digital impression using intraoral scanners captures the implant's position and orientation with a scan body, which is engaged to the implant and scanner to take a direct optical impression
- Intraoral scanners use the open STL format and record the three-dimensional geometry of the object in the mouth
- Standard abutment requirements include a minimum interarch space, consistent implant angulation and position, and a distance between the gingival margin and implant platform of 2mm or less
- Custom abutment considerations include a distance between the gingival margin and implant platform more than 5mm, excessive implant angulation, patient's restoration needs, and for all screw-retained prostheses
- Prefabricated abutments like Synocta come with three units for cement-retained implant-supported crowns, and gold abutments have a custom-designed metal alloy framework with porcelain for esthetics and hygiene access
- CAD / CAM abutments have a locator denture cap, male processing nylon locator abutment, tissue depth, and abutment height to ensure proper positioning and seating
- Abutment seating requires positioning into the implant head, making sure the connection extension engages properly, and tightening the screw to the correct torque, which is 35 Ncm for Straumann abutments.
