The design of the Bicon abutment system is such that the hemispherical base of the abutment does not sit flush with the neck of the implant. By design, there is a radiolucency below the abutment post when the abutment is fully seated. Please note that the post of any abutment may not be modified. Altering the abutment post in any manner or using a cementing medium will affect the frictional fit of the locking taper resulting in a potentially non-retentive abutment. The following diagrams depict the final seating of each abutment style as well as the method for measuring each abutment.
