Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2012A16 Clinical benefits of Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution With the new Inclusive® Tooth Replace- ment Solution from Glidewell Laborato- ries, the clinician receives all the compo- nents necessary to place, provisionalize and restore an implant. Custom-designed temporary components allow for imme- diate provisionalization specific to each patient, and a matching custom impres- sion coping communicates the final gin- gival architecture to the laboratory. The Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution supports a streamlined workflow that ensures predictability and long-term suc- cess. With this solution, experienced and novice clinicians alike can place and re- store dental implants with greater confi- dence than ever before. Once you’ve se- lected a diameter and length of implant, forward the diagnostic materials (impres- sions, models, bite registration, shade, im- plant size) to Glidewell for fabrication of the custom components. The laboratory will pour and articulate the models and assemble the compo- nents, delivered to you in an all-inclusive box, including a prosthetic guide, custom temporary abutment, BioTemps® provi- sional crown (Glidewell), custom healing abutment, custom impression coping, surgical drills and Inclusive Tapered Im- plant (Glidewell). On the day of surgery, place the box contents alongside your usual surgical armamentarium. Confirm the fit of the prosthetic guide prior to beginning the procedure (Fig. 1). After placing the implant and verifying its position (Fig. 2), decide based on the level of primary stability whether to place the custom healing abutment (Fig. 3) or custom temporary abutment and accom- panying BioTemps crown. Either option will begin sculpting the soft tissue archi- tecture around the implant to develop the future emergence profile. Upon successful osseointegration, the Restorative Phase begins. Contours of the custom impression coping match those of the custom abutment, so it’s simple to remove, seat the impression coping and take an accurate full-arch final impres- sion. At final delivery, remove the temporary abutment. Try in the final Inclusive Cus- tom Abutment (Glidewell) and BruxZir® (Glidewell) (Fig. 4) or IPS e.max® (Ivoclar Vivadent; Amherst, N.Y.) crown. Check the contours, contacts and occlusion, and ad- just as needed. In response to the dental implant mar- ket embracing the importance of soft tis- sue contouring, Glidewell Laboratories’ Implant department has now expanded the Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solu- tion to accommodate all implant systems compatible with the Inclusive Custom Im- plant Abutment product line. This creates the opportunity for more clinicians to of- fer their patients the advantages of the tis- sue contouring system contained within the Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution. Whatever implant system you use, you and your patients can now benefit from the tremendous effects of training tissue from the time of implant placement.
