Eliminating a Miss Fit Dr. Petros Yuvanoglu D.M.D. summa cum laude, Cert. Prosth. (TUFTS U.S.A.). Prosthodontist. Dr. Petros Yuvanoglu is co-direc- tor of the Branemark Osseointe- gration Center Dubai. He qualified as a dentist in 1995, receiving his dental degree summa cum laude from Semmelweis University in Budapest, graduating with excep- tional high grade, top of his class as valedictorian. He has lectured extensively on the “Same Day Implants & Teeth” reconstruc- tion protocol. Together with Dr. Costa Nicolopoulos (Oral & Max- illofacial Surgeon), they are the cofounders of “Same Day Dental Implants” Clinic in Dubai Health Care City, U.A.E. Dr. Ero Pandelias BDS (Wits) Dr. Ero Pandelias qualified as a dentist in 1987 from the University of Witwatersrand , Johannesburg in South Africa. After 10 years pri- vate practice experience in the restorative phase of implants she became the CEO of Southern Im- plants Greece in 1998 & the Di- rector of Southern Implants JLT in Dubai in 2012. She is married to the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr Costa Nicolopoulos & they have 2 daughters Andriana & Eleni who are both medical students. Contact Information Contact Information implant using a syringe with a blunt delivery tip. c. Place the loose Passive rings individually into position on the implants and press the down into place using a flat-ended “plastic” instrument. When the rings are seated, the gel helps hold them in place. The soft tis- sue surrounding the rings also holds them in place quite well. d. Place the metal structure over the rings in the mouth, taking care to align the casting properly so as to not disturb the rings. e. Screw retain the structure by placing a few prosthetic screws in strategic places. f. When removing the frame, take care of any rings that may drop. Some rings may be found on the removed frame while oth- ers may be left on the implants. Count the rings to make sure you have all of them. It is an advantage of the Passive system that the fitting surfaces can be removed from the casting to avoid damage by heat cycles during the repair process and then be refitted. Delivery of the Final Prosthesis Once the final prosthesis is placed into the patient’s mouth, peri-apical X-rays should be taken in order to verify the posi- tive fit onto the implants. The x-ray beam should be oriented perpendicular to the implant/ prosthesis interface in older to increase the chances of detect- ing a potential discrepancy (miss fit). Eliminating a Miss Fit In case that a miss fit is detected, make sure that no soft or hard tissues are interfering with the positive sitting of the prosthesis. As mentioned above Passive Abutments can eliminate all dis- crepancies introduced into the prosthesis during the laboratory steps of the manufacturing. If a miss fit is detected, this is at- tributed to one of the following reasons: a. distorted implant impression b. increased implant component tolerance c. distorted plaster implant mod- el In order to eliminate a miss fit, a new implant impression should be taken and a new plaster im- plant model should be poured again. The laboratory technician is going to use the new implant model as a blueprint in order to recement the passive abutments (Fig. 13). As a result of those actions the new radiographic examination should reveal no discrepancies to the fitting of the prosthesis onto the implants. Conclusion The Passive Abutment from Southern Implants allows one to achieve a predictable passive fit of cast structures in a practical way. It’s easy to use, cost effec- tive and has repeatable results, which eliminate the need for complex and intense laboratory procedures like sectioning and soldering.
