industry report I blindly in the bone crest, and we were able to man- age the inter-implant gingival volume optimally. It is important to adjust the temporary removable denture properly during the osseointegration phase.Moreover,thepatientmustbeinformedthat any contact between the temporary prosthesis and the healing screw can result in the loss of the un- derlying implant. The impression with the pop-in system shows a precision similar to a pick-up im- pression in so far as the implants are not divergent. We use these transfers in over 99% of our cases. _Conclusion The one-stage surgical procedure enables us to take advantage of a longer period of mucosal and bone healing in cases in which burying the implant during the osseointegration phase can be avoided. There is also good primary stability, which can eas- ilybeobtainedwiththeSCREW-LINEimplantshape. The Vario SR abutments allow us to make a screw-retainedprosthesisonimplantsinastraight- forward and precise manner. In addition, time is saved—with no compromises on precision or qual- ity—by using clinical protocols that are more straightforward and rational than traditional pro- tocols. These include one-stage surgery, limited non-invasive flaps, impression taking with pop-in transfers, easy repositioning of abutments, use of onlyonescrewdriverthroughoutthetreatmentand splintedcrowns.Thescrew-retainedprosthesisalso avoids any risk of residual cement around the im- plant neck._ Editorial note: This article was originally published in LE FIL DENTAIREinOctober2010.
