What is the primary function of the GDT Implants’ Ball Attachment Analog?
The GDT Implants’ Ball Attachment Analog is designed to replicate the position of the ball attachment within the working model. This allows dental technicians to accurately fabricate removable overdentures or other restorations that require precise fitting to the implant. The analog's design ensures that the final restoration aligns perfectly with the ball attachment, providing a secure and reliable connection in the patient's mouth.
What materials are used in the GDT Implants’ Ball Attachment Analog?
Our Ball Attachment Analog is made from high-quality stainless steel, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion. This material was chosen for its durability during repeated use in lab settings and its ability to maintain its shape and accuracy during the modeling process. Stainless steel also supports precision machining, allowing for detailed replication of the implant's structure in the working model, ensuring a high level of accuracy for the final restoration.
Is Ball Attachment Analog compatible with all implant systems?
Yes, the Ball Attachment Analog is compatible with all our ball attachment abutments, regardless of the implant system. Whether used with internal hex or conical connection types, the analog offers reliable precision, accommodating a wide range of platform sizes, including slim, standard, narrow, and regular. This versatility allows dental professionals to work confidently, knowing the Ball Attachment Analog provides a consistent and secure fit across diverse setups. With its adaptable design, it supports efficient and accurate modeling in implant-supported overdenture restorations, making it an essential tool in dental laboratories.
What clinical considerations are important when using GDT Implants’ Ball Attachment Analog?
When using the GDT Implants’ Ball Attachment Analog, dental technicians should ensure accurate positioning within the working model to replicate the actual implant placement. Proper alignment is crucial for the stability and retention of overdentures or other restorations. The analog's exact representation of the implant’s dimensions helps in minimizing discrepancies during the restoration process, contributing to a predictable and stable clinical outcome. Additionally, using high-quality lab materials in conjunction with the analog can further improve the overall fit and longevity of the restoration.
