Ball Abutment compatible with Steri-Oss HL-Series External Hex 3.8/4.5mm (T-4BHA-S)

What it is. A ball abutment is a small titanium post with a rounded ball on top that screws directly into a dental implant. A matching metal housing holding a rubber O-ring sits in the underside of the denture. The denture snaps onto the balls the way a press-stud fastens. It is the simplest way to stop a denture slipping while the patient talks and eats.

How to use it

1. Screw one ball abutment into each implant — usually two or more.
2. Seat the metal housing with its O-ring over each ball.
3. The housings are processed into the denture base, chairside or at the laboratory.
4. The denture now snaps on and off over the balls.
5. As the O-rings wear, replace just the O-rings. The titanium abutment stays in the implant.
