Remove mucosa mask. Fix the
Ankylos Balance Anterior /X
abutment in the desired position
in the index. When using the freely
positionable Balance Anterior C/
or Cercon Balance C/ abutments,
align these through free rotation
in 360°. Screw abutments into
the model using the laboratory
screwdriver 1.0 mm hex with 10
Ncm torque and align to desired
position.
When using zirconium oxide
Ankylos Cercon Balance C/
abutments, please proceed as
described starting on page 28.
Customizing the Ankylos Balance
Anterior C/ and /X abutment
Grind the Ankylos Balance Anterior
C/ or /X abutment to adjust it
to the individual situation. The
prefabricated taper surfaces must
not be processed. Grinding the
abutment in the Ankylos handle
for implant analogs and abutments
makes them easier to handle and
prevents damage to the master
cast.
Ensure a consistent insertion
direction for bridge constructions
when grinding the abutments.
Transfer key for
Ankylos Balance Anterior C/
Prepare a transfer key to retrieve
the selected position on the cast
and later on in the mouth using
the customized Ankylos Balance
Anterior C/ abutment.
For bridge constructions, connect
the bridge sections with a
prefabricated plastic or metal
bar in order to reduce shrinkage
due to polymerization. For larger
reconstructions, the transfer key
should be in sections.
The transfer key is handed over
to the dental practice together
with the completed prosthetic
restoration.

Do not damage the straining screw during grinding. Ensure an adequate wall thickness also, and
an adequate abutment height for cemented suprastructures. Do not grind the lateral thread hole,
particularly in screw-retained suprastructures. To avoid stripping the straining screw, use the blue
laboratory screwdriver with torque (10 Ncm). Enlarge the access channel for the screwdriver as the
hexagonal torque insert applied in the patient’s mouth is slightly wider.
