Instructions for Placement of Dental Implants Intra-Lock System "Part 2"

Instructions for Placementof Dental Implants

Drilling Sequence for Internal Connection Implants:

1. Lancer Pilot Drill

2. 1.5mm Drill

3. 2.0mm Drill

4. 2.5mm Drill

5. 3.65 mm Drill is the final drill for 4.0 Hex Line Implants.

6. Conic Drills; Final drill matches length of Conic Line Implants

Note:Use of the Bone Tap is reserved for dense bone.

Completion of Site Preparation:

The implant site is periodically flushed and checked for proper depth.The drills have depth markings and a paralleling pin/depth gauge indicator is also available. The paralleling pins are utilized when multiple implant sites are prepared. As each site is completed, a paralleling pin can be inserted into the osteotomy site and used as a guide for the preparation of the next site.

Product Packaging:

All Intra-Lock® Implants are sterilized and suspended on titanium rings within a sterile vial. The vial is then packaged in a sterile blister pack, which provides an additional environmental barrier. Sterilization is achieved by gamma radiation. The label on the package indicates lot number, product description, catalog reference number and expiration date.

Implant Installation: using the Drive-Lock®

The implants are suspended on titanium cradles, in order to enable their direct transfer to the surgical site. (Picture1).

The Drive-Lock® carrier/placement driver is used to pick up the implant directly from the vial, carry it to the osteotomy site and thread the implant into place (Pictures 2, 3 & 4). This driver fits either contraangle

or ratchet drives and can safely exert the necessary driving force without risk of deformation of the prosthetic interface connection. The final seating of the implant(s) is achieved by the incremental turns of the Ratchet Wrench. Should bone density demand, the osteotomy site should be further prepared via the utilization of the Bone Tap. A Countersink Drill is also available for those clinicians choosing the

option of exercising a countersink technique.

The tip of the Drive-Lock® (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant, once inserted into the osteotomy site (Picture 5).

Radiographic Verification:

At this point, take the appropriate radiograph(s) to confirm proper depth, seating, orientation and placement of the implant(s).

Placement of the Healing Screw:

After radiographic verification, a healing screw is then placed. The tip of the Drive-Lock®‚ (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant and

thread it into place.

Site Closure:

Irrigate the site for the final time, approximate the flaps and secure with interrupted mattress sutures or suture method of choice. It is important that maximum tissue adaptation be obtained.

Important Points to Remember:

• Only titanium instruments should come in contact with the implant.
• The Conic Implants are designed to fit the drilled depth.
• If a removable prosthesis is used near the implant site, it should be generously relieved and a soft tissue conditioner reline material placed.

Postoperative Care:

Cold packs are recommended for the first 24 hours. Analgesics/

Antibiotics may be prescribed at the discretion of the practitioner. The

patient is advised to favor the opposite side of the mouth, maintain a

soft diet and avoid hot liquids. Sutures may be removed after 5-7 days.
