THE FIRST PRE-MANUFACTURED BAR WITH PASSIVE FIT The ingenious fixation mechanism is a breakthrough in treating the edentulous mandible. t d di d b Anatomically designed for the natural arch of the lower jaw, the standardized bar contains adaptive joints that adjust to t t th compensate for horizontal, vertical and angular deviations from the ideal implant position. th t dj t i d ti j i t P A T E N T P E N D I N G f o r f i x a t i o n m e c h a n i s m Angular deviation Horizontal deviation Vertical deviation ±4.0° ±0.4 mm ±0.5 mm PATENT PENDING FOR FIXATION MECHANISM Each mechanism has five self-adjusting joints that help correct the position of the pre-manufactured bar, enabling the passive fit of the definitive prosthesis.
