Screw-Retained Low Profile Abutment And
Temporary Cylinder
(continued)
9.
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. Relieve the holes for the other cylinders as necessary so that
the provisional restoration can be placed over these and removed easily.
Fill in any voids. Finish the restoration to the desired contour and polish.

instructions provided by the guide manufacturer.
See page 9 for an example of a Surgical Plan.
POST SURGICAL DELIVERY OF PROVISIONAL
RESTORATION
11.
Place each Low Profile Abutment into the implants, one by one, in the
proper locations. Press firmly until feeling and/or hearing the audible and
tactile click. Thread the Low Profile Abutment Screws into the implants
using the Abutment Driver. Verify an accurate fit of each abutment by
visualizing the interfaces or by taking a radiograph. Torque the abutment
screws to 20Ncm using the Abutment Driver Tip and a torque device.
Place a Low Profile Temporary Cylinder on an abutment on the opposite
side of the arch from the selected lab-processed cylinder. Secure the
cylinder into place using the Low Profile Titanium Screw and the Large
Hex Driver. Seal the screw access opening with impression material. Try
in the provisional restoration over the Low Profile Temporary Cylinder
and secure it into place by threading a retaining screw through the lab-
processed cylinder. Verify that it fits to the cylinder margins properly.
Adjust the occlusion as indicated and remove the provisional restoration.
12.
If a flap procedure was used during surgery, suture the soft tissue around
the Low Profile Abutments. Place acrylic resin into the retention facets
on the Low Profile Temporary Cylinder and into the cylinder area on the
provisional restoration. Seat the provisional restoration over the cylinder
and secure it into place by threading a retaining screw through the lab-
processed cylinder. Have the patient close into centric occlusion. Allow the
acrylic resin to set per the manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the Low
Profile Titanium Screws and remove the provisional restoration. Place the
remaining Low Profile Temporary Cylinders on the abutments and lute
these into the provisional restoration by repeating the prior steps. Fill in any
voids. Remove any excess acrylic resin and polish. Secure the provisional
restoration into place with the Low Profile Gold-Tite
®
Retaining Screws
using the Large Hex Driver. Torque the screws to 20Ncm using the Large
Hex Driver Tip and a torque device. Place a temporary filling material into
the screw access openings and seal those with composite resin. Adjust the
occlusion as indicated.
