BIOMET 3i™ HEALING ABUTMENTS

External hex healing abutments

Fig. 1

EP® one piece healing abutments combine the screw and abutment body as a monoblock for less cumbersome handling. Each abutment is marked on top with three numbers. Two numbers printed like a fraction, indicate the emergence profile and implant/abutment platform diameter whereby the numerator expresses the emergence profile in millimeter and the denominator indicates the implant/abutment platform diameter in millimeter. The large print number denotes the height of the healing abutment in millimeters.

3.4mm platform healing abutments are produced with a single emergence profile of 3.8mm in four heights of 2, 3, 4 and 6mm. 4.1mm platform healing abutments are offered in five (2, 3, 4, 6, 8mm) different heights and four (4.1, 5.0, 6.0, 7.5mm) emergence profiles each. 5.0mm platform healing abutments are available in three (5.6, 6.0, 7.5mm) emergence profiles (Fig.1) and also five heights of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8mm (Fig.2). 6.0 platform healing abutments are machined with the same height configuration as 5.0 platform healing abutments in two (6.8, 7.5mm) emergence profiles. A 0.048' (1.25mm) hex driver is required to service these abutments.

EP® two piece healing abutments are made of two components, the fixation screw and the healing abutment body (Fig.3). The only identification markers are lines printed on top of the healing abutment body and only indicate the abutment height. No identification markers to indicate the platform diameter or emergence profile are present.

3.4mm platform healing abutments are produced with two emergence profiles of 3.8mm and 5.0mm in three heights of 3, 4 and 6mm. 4.1mm platform healing abutments are offered in four (3, 4, 6, 8mm) different heights and three (5.0, 6.0, 7.5mm) emergence profiles each. 5.0mm platform healing abutments are available in three (5.6, 6.0, 7.5mm) emergence profiles and four heights of 3, 4, 6 and 8mm. 6.0 platform healing abutments are machined with the same height configuration as 5.0 platform healing abutments in two emergence profiles (6.8, 7.5mm). A 0.048' (1.25mm) hex driver is required to service these abutments.

Encode® healing abutments are made of two components, the fixation screw and the healing abutment body. These abutments serve a dual purpose of healing abutment and "impression coping". Intended to be impressed while in place, eliminating a separate fixture level impression altogether and leaving the abutment in place after impression taking. Utilizing these abutments as a impression coping is technique sensitive. The abutments have to protrude at least 1mm from the tissue and the full arch impression has to be pristine, no voids or distortion around the abutment to be successful. Impressions may be taken traditionally with impression material or with intraoral scanners for a digital impression. Special markings machined in to the healing abutment body (Fig.4) indicate the implant/abutment interface (platform) diameter, emergence profile, healing abutment height and indexing feature orientation.

All Encode® healing abutments are produced in four heights of 3, 4, 6 and 8mm, regardless of platform and diameter. 3.4mm platform healing abutments are available in two emergence profiles of 3.8mm and 5.0mm. 4.1mm platform diameters abutments are offered in four (4.1, 5.0, 6.0, 7.5mm) different emergence profiles each. 5.0mm platform healing abutments are available in three (5.6, 6.0, 7.5mm) emergence profiles and. 6.0 platform healing abutments are machined with two emergence profiles of 6.8 and 7.5mm. A 0.048' (1.25mm) hex driver is required to service these abutments.

EP® one piece healing abutments combine the screw and abutment body as a monoblock for less cumbersome handling. The screw portion of the abutments is color coded in compliance with the platform identification scheme (purple 3.4mm, blue 4.1mm, yellow 5.0mm, green 6.0mm). Each abutment is marked on top with three numbers. Two numbers printed like a fraction, indicate the emergence profile and implant/abutment platform diameter whereby the numerator expresses the emergence profile in millimeter and the denominator indicates the implant/abutment platform diameter in millimeter. The large print number denotes the height of the healing abutment in millimeters.
