The VKS-OC RS Implant Abutments can be used on implants that are up to 15º
divergent from the path of insertion. The abutments are available in 3
diameters, each with 3 different tissue heights. These abutments can be used
with either the rigid or resilient matrices.
After uncovering the implant, a OC-RS abutment with
the correct collar-height is screwed onto the implant with an OC-RS
screwdriver with 30Ncm torque.
The abutments are available in 2, 4 or 6 mm
collar-height. The impression matrices are placed on the abutments and
are picked up into the impression.
After the impression is made with the impression
matrices in place, the laboratory analogs with the correct diameters are
inserted into the impression matrices.
Once the model has been poured with the laboratory
analogs, the next step is to determine whether the implants are within
acceptable angle tolerances for this attachment.
In the VKS-OC RS system, a tolerance of 15º per
implant is acceptable. To determine the degree of the implant, the
Vertical Alignment Post is first placed on the analog.
The 15º Angle Guide is used to determine if the
implant is within the acceptable angle tolerances. In a multiple implant
situation, no implant can deviate more than 15º.
Before using this product, please read and follow these instructions
carefully.
1. Indication Range
The Vario-Ball-Snap OC Abutment (VKS-OC Abutment) is intended to be
used in the prosthetic field of dental and dental-technical
implantology. The VKS-OC Abutments are only used after successful
osseointegration of the implant.
Accordingly, the VKS-OC Abutment serves as a connecting element
between the implant and the denture (suitable for Branemark 3.8,
4.0, and 5.0 mm.; Steri-Oss 3.8, 5.0, and 6.0 mm.; and 3i 4.0, 5.0,
and 6.0 mm.).
2. Processing
After completion of the healing phase, the abutment is inserted in
the following prosthetic phase:
2.1 Integration of the abutment:
After the healing phase and the renewed exposure of the implants,
the abutment is screwed directly onto the implant after removing the
cover screw. The abutment is available in the corresponding implant
diameters and, to adapt tot he mucous membrane, in the distance
heights of 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 mm., and is therefore to be used as a
gingival former. For this purpose, the suprastructure is screwed in
with the hexagon key or the respective insert for elbows. The torque
must be limited to 30 Ncm.
2.2 Taking the impression:
Do not loosen the abutment from the implant in order to take the
impression. In order to reproduce the exact position of the implant
in the model later on, place the impression matrix onto the ball
abutment with a slight snap. Then the impression is taken in the
usual way. Due to its retention, the impression matrix remains in
the impression.
2.3 Preparation of the model:
To prepare the master model, the implant analog (laboratory implant)
is inserted into the impression matrix. Then the model is prepared
in the usual way. To ensure accurate reproduction, the expansion of
the stone should be as low as possible (close to zero).
2.4 Integration of the abutment in the denture:
The completed master model represents the definite oral situation.
The axle abutments are placed onto the laboratory implants that have
been fixed in the model. Check the divergence of the individual
abutments using the angle-measuring device. The inclination angle
towards the vertical axle of the determined direction of insertion
must not exceed 15 .
Place the duplicating matrix onto the laboratory implant and hold it
in the determined direction of insertion using the parallel holder.
The gaps (empty spaces) between the matrix and the patrix that
resulted from the offset of the divergences are blocked out with
stone up to the lower edge of the matrix and excess material is
directly removed.
Loosen the parallel holder after the material has hardened and
remove the duplicating matrix. This procedure must be repeated for
all implants.
Press the resin matrix into the housing of the metal matrix using
the insertion pin and place it onto the laboratory implant. For this
purpose, we recommend using the yellow matrices with the medium
soft-snap. Then the metal matrix is polymerized in the resin in the
usual way.
When preparing a metal resp. CoCr base, the model must be blocked
out and duplicated after placing on the yellow matrices. The metal
base that is prepared above the matrix will then serve as a metal
matrix.
To change the snap friction, the exchangeable matrices are available
in three different levels of friction: green, slight soft-snap;
yellow, medium soft-snap; and red, strong soft-snap. For this
purpose, remove the existing matrices from the metal housing and
insert the new ones using the insertion pin.
3. Storage, durability
The products do not feature an expiration date. Dust-free storage in
the original package at room temperatures should be maintained. The
product must be sterilized with commercially available equipment and
common dental methods prior to use.
4. Care
Laboratories or dental practices should provide the patients with
the following information: In order to increase the functional
performance and the durability of the VKS-OC Abutments, the fixed
components and the removable denture must be cleaned at least twice
a day.
5. Malfunctions and elimination of malfunctions
The system has not revealed any malfunctions.
6. Other information
The information contained in these instructions is continually being
updated according to the latest knowledge and experience. Therefore,
we recommend that you read these instructions for use again before
using a new package.
