and each detail. Conclusion to Part 1 We have given you an overview of the technical aspects of tel- escopic prostheses or double crowns and their almost uni- versal applicability. The basic priciples of how they work and the importance of achieving the right level of friction are de- scribed. Success is dependent on good communication and technical skill on both the den- tists and the technical labora- tory’s part. In the next article of “Part 2 of precision dental prosthetics with highly engineered con- nections” we will illustrate the clinical side to the telescopes or double crowns, i.e. the planning and preparation required.

The magic word is dual cooling – instrument cooling from the inside and outside together with simultane- ous debris evacuation and efficient surgical preparations in the maxilla. cooliNg hEals A unique spiral design and internal irrigation prevent the instrument’s temperature from rising during the surgical procedure. These features combine effectively to promote excel- lent regeneration of the bone tissue. EMS Swiss Instruments Surgery MB4, MB5 and MB6 are diamond- coated cylindrical instruments for secondary surgical preparation (MB4, MB5) and final osteotomy (MB6). A spiral design combined with innovative dual cooling makes these instruments unique in implant dentistry. coNtrol savEs Effective instrument control fosters atraumatic implant preparation and minimizes any potential damage to the bone tissue. prEcisioN rEassurEs Selective cutting represents virtually no risk of damage to soft tissue (membranes, nerves, blood vessels, etc.). An optimum view of the operative site and minimal bleeding thanks to cavitation (hemostatic effect!) further enhance efficacy. The new EMS Swiss Instruments Surgery stand for unequaled Swiss precision and innovation for the benefit of dental practitioners and patients alike – the very philosophy embraced by EMS. > EMS Swiss Instrument Surgery MB6 with unique spiral design and internal instrument irrigation for ultralow temperature at the operative site October 25-31, 201024 United Kingdom EditionClinical
