How does the Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Plastic Sleeve Set Slim Platform 17° improve prosthetic alignment?
The Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Plastic Sleeve Set Slim Platform 17° is designed to enhance prosthetic positioning in cases where implants are placed at an angle. By providing a 17-degree correction, it allows for better parallelism between multiple implants, facilitating an optimal prosthetic path of insertion. This helps to achieve a more functional and aesthetic final restoration while reducing stress on the prosthetic components and surrounding bone structure. The precision of the angulation also contributes to improved load distribution, enhancing long-term stability.
What are the benefits of the slim platform in this multi-unit system?
The slim platform is particularly advantageous in cases where space is limited, such as in the anterior region or when working with narrow ridge conditions. It allows for a more conservative approach to prosthetic design, preserving soft tissue and bone while maintaining the necessary strength for long-term function. The reduced profile also provides greater flexibility in achieving an ideal emergence profile, leading to enhanced soft tissue aesthetics and improved patient outcomes.
What is the role of the plastic sleeve in the Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Plastic Sleeve Set?
The plastic sleeve serves as a guide for precise prosthetic fabrication. It allows for easy indexing and accurate alignment of temporary or final restorations, ensuring a secure fit during the impression-taking and laboratory stages. The plastic material is designed to be easily adjustable, making chairside modifications more efficient. This contributes to a smoother workflow and improved accuracy when fabricating the prosthesis, leading to a more predictable restoration process.
In what clinical situations is the Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Plastic Sleeve Set Slim Platform 17° most beneficial?
This system is particularly beneficial in full-arch rehabilitations and cases where implants are placed at an angle due to anatomical limitations, such as the maxillary sinus or inferior alveolar nerve. The 17-degree angulation helps align prosthetic components, reducing the need for excessive adjustments and creating a more natural-looking final restoration. It is also useful in cases requiring a screw-retained prosthesis, as it helps position the screw access channel in a more favorable location, improving both aesthetics and function.
