Case #2: Post-Placement Utilization of the
Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution
A 41-year-old male presented with a chief complaint of:
“I had my molar taken out over 10 years ago, and I would
like an implant to replace it.” Following appropriate workup,
a 5.2 mm x 8 mm Inclusive Tapered Implant was placed
without complication in the edentulous area #19. The
5.2 mm diameter implant features a platform-switching
design that utilizes 4.5 mm diameter prosthetic components.
A flaring Inclusive ® Healing Abutment 4.5 mm x 5.7 mm x
3 mm was tightened to 15 Ncm into the implant in a singlestage
procedure.
To ensure proper tissue management specific to his anatomy,
in the interest of gingival health and natural esthetics, the
patient elected to take advantage of the custom healing
features of the post-placement Tooth Replacement Solution.
An advantage of the post-placement solution is that the
custom temporary components are designed and milled
based on an implant-level impression, mitigating or even
eliminating any need for chairside adjustment of the custom
components upon delivery. Continued on page 62
Upon return to the office post-implant placement,
the patient exhibited excellent soft tissue healing
around the standard titanium healing abutment.
The resulting tissue formation, however, is of a
generic, round geometry commonly encountered
with stock components, rather than being optimized
for the anatomy of the edentulous space.

The stock healing abutment was removed so that
a closed-tray impression coping could be seated
on the implant and the closed-tray screw handtightened.
