Introduction
Implant & Abutment System Connections
External Hex Connection
The external hex connection implant and abutment designs have been
widely used in implant dentistry.
• Gold Standard ZR (Zero Rotation) is a patented design incorporating
machined microstops within the corners of the hex in the abutment.
The design reduces horizontal rotation between the implant and
abutment. Gold Standard ZR is available on UCLA, GingiHue ® and
Conical Abutments.
• The 12-point double hex, which is machined in the 15º Pre-Angled
GingiHue Abutment, provides rotational positioning in 30º increments
on the implant hex.
• Precise Abutment Placement: The ASYST Abutment Placement Tool
provides fingertip control for fast and easy abutment delivery. The
patented packaging design makes abutment placement easier because the
abutment is delivered sterile from the package directly to the implant site.
The abutment and abutment screw are packaged inside the plastic ASYST
seating device. The plastic seating device facilitates precise placement of
the abutment on the implant, thus reducing chair time. The ASYST Tool is
packaged with Low Profile, Standard and Conical Abutments.
• Impression Copings: Pick-Up and Twist Lock Transfer Copings are both
available in the external connection design in three EP ® (Emergence
Profile) diameters and a straight diameter to match the corresponding
healing abutment. The patented Twist Lock design provides a more
accurate transfer of the implant connection as compared to other
transfer (closed tray) techniques. This unique Twist Lock feature provides
a series of undercuts to guide the coping into the impression, giving
stability to the impression coping/analog prior to pouring the impression.
As a result, the copings lock into orientation grooves upon clockwise
rotation, thereby allowing for a tactile sensation of resistance that ensures
an accurate hex transfer.
