This case demonstrates the use of two 5 Series Tall (5T) Scannable Temporary Abutments to digitally record an implant-level impression of two 4.0 x 8.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implants for the fabrication of a three-unit TRINIA® maxillary incisor bridge, and its insertion using a resin seating jig prior to being cemented in only two restorative visits.

The circles on the top of the Scannable Temporary Abutments provide a clear and convenient indicator of the post size: 2 circles for a 2.0mm post, 3 circles for a 2.5mm post, and 4 circles for a 3.0mm post.
5.
For this case, the final restoration will use a 5 Series Tall (5T) Universal Abutment with a 2.5mm post, so a 5 Series Tall (5T) Scannable Temporary Abutment with a 2.5mm post is selected.

NOTE: It is essential that a Scannable Temporary Abutment be seated in the implant's well and be slightly above the mucosa, to accurately record an implant's position.
