•  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.  

  Choosing the Right Abutment

  Titan Implants offers two types of straight abutments to restore 4.1mm platform external hex implants. One is the  Straight Locking Implant Abutment Flat  which has a standard prep height of 8mm, comes in collar heights 1 through 4mm, and two emergence profile diameters of 5mm and 6mm. The other is the  Simple Step Abutment , an exclusive Titan made product, that offers a hex instead of a flat side, three emergence profile diameters (4.1, 5, and 6mm) prep heights of 4.0, 5.5, and 7.0mm, and collar heights 1, 2, 3, and 4mm.
