6. Healing Plug Removal Instruments


The removal instruments were designed to facilitate the removal of the healing plug from the implant’s well during the uncovering procedure of an implant.

 

7. Hand Reamers & Hand Reamer Extension


The hand reamers were designed to be used with a threaded straight handle to manually prepare an osteotomy.

The hand reamer extension was designed to give a clinician more access when the interproximal space or opposing dentition interfere with the handpiece head by converting the hand reamers to a latch style.

 

8. Impression Reamers


The impression reamers were designed to remove any soft tissue or bone above the implant well that could interfere with the proper seating of an impression post.

 

9. Implant/Abutment Seating Tips


The seating tips were designed for use with a threaded straight or offset handle to facilitate the proper seating of an implant or an abutment. When using the implant seating tips, it is imperative that the seating tips be fully seated into the well of the implant to avoid causing distortion of the well during their use, which could subsequently prevent the complete locking taper engagement of an abutment.

 

10. Sulcus Reamers


The sulcus reamers were designed to remove any soft tissue or bone above the implant that could prevent the locking taper engagement of an abutment into the well of the implant.

 

11. Guide Pins


The standard and extended guide pins were designed (depending upon an implant’s depth) to be used as a guide for sulcus and impression reamers as well as for tissue punches. They may also be used to assist in the evaluation of how well an implant has osseointegrated. The extended guide pins are used with deeply positioned implants and long-shafted abutments.
