2. Creating a new overdenture with the
Novaloc® Retentive System
Step 1 – Selecting the abutment
ѹ Ensure that the implant shoulder is not covered by
hard or soft tissue
ѹ Determine the appropriate abutment height by
counting the marks on the Novaloc® Plan Abut-
ments*.
Step 2 – Inserting the Abutment
ѹ Screw the Novaloc® Abutment tightly by hand into
the implant using the Straumann® Screwdriver.
ѹ Torque the abutment to 35 Ncm using the Ratchet,
the Torque Control Device and the SCS Screwdriver.
Step 3 – Sealing the screw channel of the Novaloc®
Angled Abutment
ѹ Use Teflon and composite in order to seal the screw
channel of the Novaloc® Angled Abutment. Ensure
that the composite is planar to the abutment.
Note:
A uniform horizontal height of all Novaloc® Abut-
ments makes it easier for the patient to insert the
prosthesis.
