Adapter<br />

<strong>the</strong> implant can opti<strong>on</strong>ally be inserted mechanically (handpiece – see “inserting <strong>the</strong><br />

implant“, page 30) or manually (ratchet – see “inserting <strong>the</strong> implant“, page 31).<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are 2 adapter versi<strong>on</strong>s, each in 3 different lengths:<br />

Holding key<br />

When loosening <strong>the</strong> transfer part from <strong>the</strong> implant, <strong>the</strong> holding key is used for stabilising<br />

(countering) <strong>the</strong> hexag<strong>on</strong>. <strong>the</strong> transfer part is loosened <strong>on</strong>ly with <strong>the</strong> ratchet or<br />

handpiece (counter-clockwise).<br />

<strong>the</strong> shape of <strong>the</strong> holding key is specially designed for different oral situati<strong>on</strong>s:<br />

p forked end: when spaces are normal, <strong>the</strong> forked end is attached directly to <strong>the</strong><br />

hexag<strong>on</strong>.<br />

p closed end: when <strong>the</strong> interdental space is limited, <strong>the</strong> closed end must be<br />

placed <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> hexag<strong>on</strong> over <strong>the</strong> transfer part. to do this, <strong>the</strong> ratchet and<br />

adapter or handpiece must be removed.<br />

a few turns suffice to loosen <strong>the</strong> transfer part from <strong>the</strong> implant. Because of <strong>the</strong> risk of possible aspirati<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> holding screw must<br />

not be removed completely from <strong>the</strong> hexag<strong>on</strong> during loosening.<br />
