Gold abutment Product portfolio NC RC For NC and RC Education

Gold abutment Concept Intended use Component materials Benefits Screw- or cement-retained crowns Cement-retained bridges via mesostructure Telescopic bridgeworks or telescopic crowns Component materials Gold Abutment (non-oxidizing Gold) Basal Screw (TAN – TAN is one type of titanium alloy material) Modeling Aid (Polymer) Benefits Precise wax modelation Safe cast-to procedures Esthetic solution even with thin mucosa biotype The Gold abutment is not suitable for direct splinting Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Step 1- Preparation Fabricate a master cast Make a diagnostic wax-up Make a silicone key Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Hand-tighten Gold Abutment onto analog Shorten burn-out modeling aid to height of occlusal plane Attach Gold Abutment to polishing aid for easier handling Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Step 2 - Wax modeling Wax layer must be at least 0.7 mm thick Do not cover margins of abutment with wax For sharp-edged finish of screw channel, use modeling aid Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures For proper hygiene: Cement margin must be no more than 2.0 mm below gingival level Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Step 3 - Investing of customized abutment Do not use wetting agents Thoroughly clean abutment before investing Remove all wax particles (use insulating agents) Invest customized abutment in usual method Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures No wax on delicate margins Speed investment materials are not recommended Invest following the manufacturers’ instructions Follow recommended mixing ratio and preheating time Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Step 4 - Devesting Devest abutment with ultrasound, waterjet, pickling acid or glass fiber brush Always devest with a polishing aid to protect the implant-abutment connection Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Never sand-blast to devest without mounting abutment on polishing aid! Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Casting errors and incorrect handling Procedure must be repeated if: The casting gold did not flow out sufficiently Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Casting errors and incorrect handling Intruded casting metals and casting pearls cannot be removed from the connection part of the Gold Abutment! Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Casting errors and incorrect handling The Ceramicor® alloy surface cannot be covered with ceramic veneering material. Ceramicor® is a non-oxidizing alloy and allows no ceramic bonding Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Step 5 - Fabricate the cement-retained single crown Trim and polish the abutment Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Block out screw channel Wax framework directly on top Silicone key shows relations for restoration Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Cast framework in conventional manner Trim and fit precisely onto customized abutment Education

Gold abutment – Lab procedures Complete ceramic veneering Deliver final restoration to dentist Education

Alloy remarks concerning castable Ceramicor® components Ceramic cannot be bonded directly to cast-on Ceramicor® components as this alloy does not form bonding oxides. Ceramicor® is only suitable for cast-on procedures. When selecting the casting or bonding alloy, ensure that it is compatible with the high-fusing alloy of the Ceramicor® components. The melting range of this casting alloy must not exceed a liquidus temperature of 1350°C/2462°F. Ceramicor® must not be cast on with base metal casting alloys, because gold in combination with nickel or cobalt causes destruction of the components. Suitable dental casting alloys are: High noble alloys Precious metal alloys with a minimum content of gold and platinum group metals of 25% Palladium based alloys with a minimum content of palladium of 50% Alloy types according to the following ISO norms are suitable for cast-on procedures to the prefabricated Ceramicor® component: ISO norm 9693 ISO norm 1562 ISO norm 8891. The alloy manufacturer’s recommendation must be followed. Due to diffusion at the alloy / gold coping interface, components made from an unsuitable alloy may form phases with low strength, reduced corrosion resistance or a lower melting range. Education
