The Titan Straumann compatible system is a unique solution for the problems inherent to the tapered solid abutment.
Increase prosthetic retention.
The Titan design incorporates a hexed collar that more than doubles prosthetic
retentiveness. It also incorporates a deep circumferential groove just above the hex
portion that also contributes to retentiveness and is an integral component of the transfer system.
The Titan Design solid abutment system requires a socket wrench and a hand tightening tool that fits over the socket wrench. These tools will allow the dentists to easily achieve hand tightening of more than 20N.
You may also insert the socket wrench into a torque wrench and use that assembly to tighten the attachments.
The top surface has an internally threaded receptacle that can be used in the following ways:
Attach the enclosed inserting screw to easily carry the abutment to the implant
Insert implant locators to help judge proper angulation corrections
Convert or construct very retentive fixed detachable cases on Straumann implants
The system includes Titan’s highly accurate single piece transfer copings.
The system is best used with a closed tray impregum impression.
Often attachments have to be modified due to non-parallel replacements.
