Internal Prosthetic Manual - BioHorizons

INTRODUCTIONBioHorizons Internal and Tapered Internal implant systems share identical prosthetic platforms with a secure internal hexconnection to allow complete cross-compatibility between the two systems. Both implants offer the flexibility of either twostage,single-stage or immediate load treatment plans.Each Internal and Tapered Internal implant comes with a free, gold-hued esthetic 3inOne Abutment. This multi-purposeabutment may be used:• at placement as a surgical mount• as an impression coping when coupled with the Ball-top Screw• as a final/temporary abutment for a cemented restorationThe beveled restorative platform provides an excellent biomechanical seal at the implant/abutment interface and aids indistributing lateral load away from the Abutment Screw. These features, combined with the use of Spiralock® screw technology,virtually eliminate unwanted screw loosening.This manual serves as reference for BioHorizons Internal and Tapered Internal implants and prosthetic components. It is intendedsolely to provide instructions on the use of BioHorizons products.
