Straight Abutment compatible with Centerpulse Taper-Lock External Hex 4.1mm Platform (Profile Diameter: 6.0mm) — Engaging, Titanium Screw Included (P-4SLIAF-SD)

Straight abutment (stock titanium abutment) for Centerpulse 4.1mm. Engaging (hexed) — for single-unit restorations. Choose collar (cuff) height and profile diameter with the Abutment Sizing Guide; see engaging vs. non-engaging.

 Choosing Proper Abutment Profile Diameters

Measure the available space between the proximal surfaces of the teeth adjacent to the

edentulous area.

Subtract two millimeters since it is necessary to have at least one millimeter between the abutment flare and the adjacent root surface. This will give you the maximum abutment diameter for the available space.

If more than 1mm is available on each side choose a larger Emergence Profile diameter. There are three levels of Emergence profile diameters for each abutment system: level 1 (Emergence Profile), level 2, and level 3. (See the chart)

Choosing the Proper Collar Height

Measure the distance between the implant platform and the crest of the gingival on the lingual and the buccal. Choose the highest number. Note: Usually the buccal is the

highest number. Subtract ½ or 1mm from this number. This will ensure that the collar is slightly below the crest of the gingiva. Choose the closest collar height from the chart.

If the collar height is different between the buccal and lingual and you wish to follow the

contour of the gingiva, modify the collar appropriately.

TIP: The best results are obtained taking a tissue model impression of the implant using a

transfer coping. The lab can then easily choose and modify the proper abutment for the available space.
