46. View of implant well after the removal of the transitional prosthesis and the stealth abutment.


47. Transitional prosthesis being removed.


48. Green 3.0mm impression reamer being inserted onto guide pin to remove any tissue which might inhibit the complete seating of an impression post.


49. Green 3.0mm plastic impression post being inserted into the 3.0mm well of an integrated implant for the making of an implant level transfer impression.


50. Green 3.0mm plastic impression post receiving its mandatory seating tap.


51. Green 3.0mm guide pin being inserted into the well of the implant.


52. Green 3.0mm impression reamer being inserted onto guide pin to remove any tissue which might inhibit the complete seating of an impression post.

Third Clinical Visit:


57. Integrated Abutment Crowns™ on stone model.


58. Bonded transitional stabilizing prostheses prior to their removal.


59. View of implant wells after the removal of the transitional prostheses.


60. Integrated Abutment Crown™ being cleaned with alcohol.


61. Integrated Abutment Crown™ being inserted.


62. Checking interproximal contact with dental floss since a too tight interproximal contact would prevent the engagement of the locking taper and possibly result in the subsequent loosening of the Integrated Abutment Crown™.


63. Interproximal contact being adjusted with metal finishing strip to achieve a passive contact.


64. Yellow thermoplastic custom seating jig, which was formed with a crown alignment device, in a crown seating tip attached to a straight handle facilitating directing the tapping forces in the long axis of the abutment post and implant well.
