Balance Base Abutment C/ | Bridges
The impressions for suprastructures on Ankylos
Balance Base Abutments C/ on the implant level are
taken with Ankylos Balance transfer posts PickUp
(open tray) or repositioning technique with the C/
marking. The impression and the components used
incl. screws are handed over to the laboratory. As an
alternative, an impression of the abutment position
can be taken using the Ankylos retention coping
for the Base Abutment. For guidelines on this, see
pages 46/47.
Fixing the implant analogs
Screw the Ankylos Balance C/
implant analogs into the transfer
posts fixed in the impression
by using the transfer screws. A
removable mucosa mask will
simplify correct modeling of the
interdental spaces.
Casting the model
Fabricate the model using dental
stone class IV. Here, ensure an
adequate height, such that the
implant analog covered with
plaster. Then remove the transfer
screws and the impression.
Screw in the Ankylos Balance
Base Abutments C/
Screw Ankylos Balance Base
Abutments C/ into the implant
analogs by using the 1.8 mm
hex insert for the prosthetic
ratchet. The gingival height of the
abutments is already simulated
by the sulcus former.
If the impression has been taken
using retention copings, this step
is omitted. In this case, the position
of the abutments is shown by the
analogs (Balance Base Abutment
narrow) or the soldering posts
(Balance Base Abutment) located
in the model.
Step-by-step: Conventionally
laboratory-fabricated bridge (screw-retained)
The Base Abutment must
not be inserted with the
1.0 mm hex insertion as this will
damage the thread.
