External hex implants
Fig. 1
Final screws for externally hexed implant abutments are universally
interchangeable. Three different final screw designs are available and
need to be purchased separately from the abutment. Gold-Tite® screws
are titanium screws with a gold plated surface and either with a
square (Fig.1, A) or hexed (Fig.1, B, 0.048) head. The square head
Gold-Tite® screw (catalog # UNISG) is torqued to 35Ncm whereas the
hexed Gold-Tite® screw (catalog # UNIHG) is only torqued to 20Ncm.
The titanium screw without gold plating (Fig1,C, catalog # UNIHT) has a
hex head configuration and torqued to 20Ncm. Laboratory screws are available
in two different configurations for 4.1, 5.0, and 6.0mmmm platform implants
as a 5 pack (Fig.1, bottom row, left, catalog # UNITS) and for 3.4mm platform,
micro mini implants (Fig.1, bottom row, right, catalog # MUNITS).

Final screws for internally hexed implant abutments are not universally
interchangeable. GingiHue® abutments and indexed UCLAs either
use Gold-Tite® screws (Fig.2, A, catalog # IUNIHG) or plain titanium
screws (Fig.2, B, catalog # IUNIHT) and need to be purchased separately
from the apropriate abutment. Lab screws (Fig.2, second row, catalog #
IUNITS) for Gold-Tite® abutments and indexed UCLA's may be purchased
as a 5 pack. Non indexed UCLA Gold-Tite® screws (Fig.2, C, catalog
# ILRGHG) are packaged as a kit with the UCLA and only used for this
abutment. Uncoated final screws for non indexed UCLA's may alse be
utilised as lab screws (Fig.2, D, catalog # ILRGHT).

ZiReal® abutments are delivered as kit with their own final screw
(Fig.3, E, catalog # IZSHG) and lab screw (Fig.3, second row left).
Custom zirconia abutments produced through the Encode® healing
abutment/impression coping system and milled at Biomet 3i Bella
Tek® require a special Gold-Tite® screw (Fig.3, F, catalog #
ICZGS). Lab screws (Fig.3, second row right, catalog # ICZTIS) for the
afore mentioned Encode®/Bella Tek® zirconia abutment need to
be purchased separately. Encode®/Bella Tek® custom titanium
abutments are fastened with catalog number IUNIHG. Gold-Tite® screws
are titanium screws with a gold plated surface and a hexed (0.048) head.
All Gold-Tite® screws are torqued to 20Ncm.
