Bicon Integrated Abutment Crowns™ / Polyceramic Material Fused to Metal : Restoration of Ten Maxillary Implants with Two Three-unit Polyceramic to Metal Fixed Bridges and Six Integrated Abutment Crowns™
This case demonstrates the restoration of ten maxillary implants with two three-unit polyceramic to metal fixed bridges and six Integrated Abutment Crowns™ using the implant level transfer impression technique.
     


1. Patient’s smile with transitional prosthesis on non-shouldered abutments.


2. Transitional prosthesis.


3. Radiograph of ten implants with non-shouldered abutments.


4. View of non-shouldered abutments after the removal of transitional prosthesis.


5. Non-shouldered abutment being removed by tapping on the handle of a forceps.


6. View of implant wells and sulci prior to insertion of impression posts.


7. White plastic 3.0mm impression post receiving mandatory seating tap.


8. Red 2.0mm metal impression post receiving mandatory seating tap.


9. Seated impression posts.


10. Impression material being injected around impression posts for the making of an implant level transfer impression.


11. View of implant wells and soft tissue sulci after the removal of impression posts and prior to the re-insertion of abutments for the transitional prosthesis.


12. Abutment being placed into transitional prosthesis prior to its being re-inserted into the implant wells.


13. Transitional prosthesis.


14. Polyceramic restorations on dental model.


15. Clear acrylic orientation jig on polyceramic restorations.


16. Seating jig on Integrated Abutment Crown™ restoration.


17. Mirror view of restorations.

25. Abutments for transitional prosthesis prior to their removal.


26. Non-shouldered abutment being removed by tapping on the handle of a forceps.


27. View of implant wells and sulci prior to insertion of impression posts.


28. Prosthesis being inserted to orientate milled abutment into the abutment well.


29. Initially positioned prosthesis with only anterior abutment.


30. Initial seating of anterior abutment is achieved by tapping on the prosthesis with a white plastic healing abutment in a straight driver.


31. Prosthesis being removed to receive its posterior milled abutment for orientation into the well of the implant.


32. Prosthesis with its posterior abutment is being inserted into the well of the implant for its orientation and initial seating.


33. Abutment being definitively seated prior to confirming fit and cementation of three unit maxillary right prosthesis.


34. Final seating of maxillary right three-unit prosthesis.


35. A maxillary left prosthesis is being used to orientate positioning of distal abutment into the well of its implant.


36. A maxillary left prosthesis is being used to orientate positioning of mesial abutment into the well of its implant.


37. Seating of maxillary left three-unit prosthesis.


38. Radiograph confirming seating of prosthesis.


39. Left lateral incisor Integrated Abutment Crown™ being inserted.


40. Clear acrylic orientation jig facilitating the positioning of left lateral incisor Integrated Abutment Crown™.


41. Left central Integrated Abutment Crown™ being inserted.


42. Right central Integrated Abutment Crown™ being inserted.


43. Left molar Integrated Abutment Crown™ being inserted.


44. View of seated prosthesis.
