AD BEGO Implant Systems Competitively priced alternative for occlusal screw- retained crown and bridge solutions The implant company BEGO Implant Systems, basedinBremen,Germany,offersitscustomersa competitivelypricedalternativetotriedandtested gold cast-on abutments. Expensive high-gold al- loysarenotrequiredand,instead,lesscostlynon- preciousalloyscanbeused.ThepatentedSub-Tec Universal abutment (available with and without anti-rotation protection) enables the practitioner to secure the su- perstructure, produced from all available dental alloys, intraorally with either a primary or occlusal screwfixation.Theresultingoxide layers which form on non-pre- cious alloys when casting or with ceramic firing and which have to be removed by machine do not affect the subsequent fit between the implant and the Sub-Tec Universal abutment.The dental tech- nician completes the work as usual and adheres the Universal base produced from a titanium alloy to the custom-made structure. The seat of the screw is found in the cast part. Another benefit worthy of mention is the fact that the challenging removalofresidualcementisnolongernecessary. In contrast to cemented restorations where the subgingival removal of residual cement is essen- tial, with these screw-retained designs this is not the case and, as such, the periimplant soft tissue isprotected.AswithallotherBEGOsuperstructure components,these high-quality abutments come with two screws. The slotted screw is for dental processinginthelaboratory,whilsttheseparately packaged hexagon socket screw is used for final placement of the restoration in the patient’s mouth.“This ensures that a new screw is used for every single patient and, in turn, that he or she is completely satisfied with the implant inthelongterm”,explainedChristoph Staufenbiel, Product Manager at BEGO Implant Systems.

With Piezon Master Sur- gery, additional applica- tion-specific instruments are now available: a total of four perio instruments especially designed for resective and regenerative peri- odontal surgery, five advanced surgical instru- ments for gentle and uniform sinus lifts, as well as six special fully diamondcoated instruments forimplantapplicationswithdualcoolingsystem and extraefficient debris evacuation. These instruments are seen as particularly suit- able for four clinical applications: implant site preparation following extraction, implant site preparation following splitting of the alveolar ridge, implant site preparation in the posterior tooth area, and implant site preparation in com- promisedareas,suchasanarrowalveolarridge. In principle,instruments can be used at low OP temperatureofnomorethan33degreescenti- grade. They provide drilling efficiency and precision in the maxillary area. EMS Electro Medical Systems S.A.
