Titan Implants Exclusive Product:

The Titan Design Simple Step Abutment has more features than the regular straight prefabricated abutment. It has a hex instead of a flat side for better crown retention and is available in prep heights of 4, 5.5, and 7mm whereas a stock straight abutment is only available in 8mm prep height. In addition to three different prep heights, it comes in different emergence profiles and various collar heights 1 through 4mm.

Available in:

• 3 Different Prep Heights
• Various Collar Heights
• Comes with Free Titanium Abutment Screw (0.050'') hex drive

Recommended Accessory:

Titan abutments are highly recommended to use with the Titan Implant Locator Pin:

Titan Implants’ Implant Locator Pin is a straight threaded pin with a serrated handle designed for several practical uses:

At times, it may be difficult to insert an impression coping or abutment intraorally due to impaired visibility or access. The implant locator is easier to screw into the implant. Once inserted, by hand, the impression coping or abutment will slide over the pin and lock in place because of the snug fit of the head. Then the implant locator pin is removed and replaced by the appropriate screw.

The implant locator pin can be used to check for parallelism and positioning of the implants intraorally. This can be done in the lab too. The implant locator pin can be placed in the analog or fixture. In the lab, the implant locator pin is convenient for custom abutment fabrication. Simply slide the plastic sleeve down the implant locator pin and proceed to wax-up to the appropriate gingival height. The ease of sliding the abutment on and off saves time and simplifies lab work. (This can be actually done in the mouth)

The implant locator pin comes in three different lengths and different threads to match various manufacturers.

Choosing Proper Abutment Diameters for the Titan Simple Step Abutment

Available for the External Hex 4.1mm and 5.0mm Platform Diameter

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 Proper Abutment Preparation Height

Measure the space between the gingival crest and the opposing tooth. Subtract three millimeters.

This will give you the proper abutment 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.
