What is the purpose of the GDT Implants Implant Analog Narrow Platform (NP) in dental restorations?
This GDT Implants Implant Analog is designed to replicate the exact dimensions and geometry of the actual Narrow Platform Conical Connection implant when creating dental prosthetics in a lab setting. It allows dental technicians to accurately model restorations, ensuring precise positioning and alignment for narrow platform implants during the fabrication process. This precision is crucial for achieving optimal fit, functionality, and aesthetics in the final restoration, providing the foundation for successful implant-supported restorations.
What materials are used in GDT Implants Implant Analog NP, and what are their benefits?
Our Implant Analog NP is crafted from medical stainless steel, which offers excellent durability and resistance to wear. Stainless steel is also chosen for its ability to withstand the rigors of use in the lab environment without compromising the analog's structural integrity. This ensures that the narrow platform analog remains consistent in its dimensions, maintaining accuracy throughout the multiple steps of the restoration process. This material also provides stability during the impression-taking stages.
What is the difference between analogs for narrow platforms and regular platforms?
The primary difference between regular and narrow platform analogs lies in their dimensions and compatibility. Narrow platform analogs have a smaller hex size of 2.25mm and a body diameter of Ø3.5mm, specifically designed for Ø3.5mm implants, such as the CON NP - Spiral Conical Connection Implant. In contrast, regular platform analogs feature a hex size of 2.65mm and a body diameter of Ø4.3mm, suitable for CON RP - Spiral Conical Connection implants with diameters of Ø4.3mm and Ø5.0mm. Using the correct analog ensures precise prosthetic fit and implant compatibility, minimizing restoration inaccuracies.
How do you secure the analog in a dental model?
Securing a dental analog in a model involves ensuring accuracy and stability for prosthetic fabrication. First, it’s essential to select the correct analog that matches the implant system’s connection type, platform size, and specifications. This analog is meant for traditional workflows, the analog is embedded into the plaster or stone model while it sets, ensuring proper positioning. A retaining screw is then used to secure the analog firmly, preventing movement. Finally, careful alignment verification ensures that the analog replicates the implant’s exact position, creating a precise foundation for prosthetic restorations.
