PROFESSIONAL FAQ & A

ADIN provides a number of implant lines for the successful treatment of all surgical indications in oral implantology. Depending on the oral situation and selected surgical procedure, the following implant lines are available:

The conical-hex (Morse Taper) connection system:
• Touareg CloseFit™ (NP, RP, WP)
Bone-level spiral implant, featuring OsseoFix™ surface treatment, double-lead thread design, and embedded platform switching

The standard internal hex connection systems (all lines and diameters are applicable to one prosthetic system):
• Touareg™-OS
Bone-level spiral implant, featuring OsseoFix™ surface treatment, double-lead thread design, and a round apex
• Touareg™-S
Bone-level spiral implant, featuring AB/AE surface treatment, double-lead thread design, and a round apex
• Swell™
Bone-level straight parallel-walled implant, featuring AB/AE surface treatment and a V-shaped thread design

The one-piece system:
• One™
Monoblock spiral implant integrated with its superstructure, featuring AB/AE surface treatment

The design of our bone-level implants is based on key biological principles, to facilitate excellent restorative and esthetic results, through easy and flexible handling in all indications.

The Touareg™-S and the Touareg™-OS have the same macro-geometry: Both lines are bone-level spiral implants, with double-lead thread design, and a round apex. They are also both characterized by the same internal connection – standard hex. The only difference between the two is their surface treatment: While the Touareg™-S has the standard AB/AE surface, the Touareg™-OS features the improved OsseoFix™ surface.

For detailed specifications and instructions, please see the corresponding brochure, or refer to the Products section, under Implant Systems.

The main two differences between the Touareg™-S and the Touareg CloseFit™ are: 1. Different internal connection – the Touareg™-S has a standard internal hex, while the Touareg CloseFit™ features a conical Morse-Taper hex. 2. Different surface treatment – the Touareg™-S has the standard AB/AE surface, while the Touareg CloseFit™ features the improved OsseoFix™ surface.

ADIN is committed to you and your patients. Through a wide range of products and services, ADIN provides solutions to implant, restorative and regenerative dentistry, from the replacement of single missing tooth all the way to full-mouth restorations.

ADIN dental implants are well-known for their versatility, simple handling, remarkable integration with oral tissue, quick healing, and successful and long-lasting results.

Our prosthetic systems offer the best possible freedom of choice, and include a variety of components, such as cement-retained, screw-retained, UCLA-type, zirconia, ball-attachments, gold-alloy and more.

ADIN’s best screw retained abutments are our straight and angulated multi-unit system components, called TMA™ (Trans Mucosal Abutment), which simply and perfectly corrects both height and angle differences between implants.

The TMA™ system is indicated for multiple-unit, screw-retained restorations, and may be used in combination with an implant level framework design. It is designed to allow better prosthetics access when using diverging angled implants to accommodate full and partial edentulous arches, especially when using tilted implants and All-on-Four/Six techniques for full arch restoration.

TMA™ abutments are available in straight and angled (17° and 30°) forms, engaging the internal hex for indexing, with a selection of collar heights. Abutments are delivered with handles for simple handling and to assist with seating.

ADIN’s castable abutments consist of a fully castable plastic version, plastic tubes fabricated with a machined gold-alloy interface (GoldFit™), and plastic tubes with a titanium interface (TitanFit™). Both engaging (with hex) and non-engaging (without hex) versions are available. ADIN’s UCLA-type abutments are suitable for fabrication of customized abutments for both screw- and cement-retained restorations, using regular wax-up and cast-to techniques for single and multiple tooth restorations.

For detailed specifications and instructions, please see corresponding IFUs.

For preparation of the osteotomy for 5mmD Touareg™-S in bone type D-IV, initial drilling is done using the Tri-Step drill to the full depth of the implant, continued with a 3.6mmD drill for the whole depth, and finalized with 4.2mmD drill to the depth of the cortex only.

In bone types D-II and D-III, initial drilling is done using the Tri-Step drill to the full depth of the implant, continued with a 3.6mmD and 4.2mmD drills for the whole depth, and finalized with 4.6mmD drill to the depth of the cortex only.

In bone type D-I you, initial drilling is done using the Tri-Step drill to the full depth of the implant, continued with a 3.6mmD and 4.2mmD drills for the whole depth, and finalized with 4.6mmD drill for the whole depth.

The drilling protocol determines the fit of the implant within the osteotomy and the extent of BIC, and is adapted to the implant diameter and bone quality and quantity at the site. The rationale behind the Touareg drilling protocol, is that for tapered implants, osteotomy should be undersized in soft bone, and oversized in hard bone. In soft bone under-drilling is recommended in order to compress bone, and achieve enhanced primary stability. In hard bone, over-drilling is recommended in order to create less pressure on the bone and proper blood supply is required for bone regeneration and proper blood supply and creation of blood clots in the chambers between the threads.

No. Standard twist drills work perfectly fine, following the relevant drilling protocol.
However, using step drills for tapered implants is always recommended, since the drills are designed to allow a simplified drilling protocol, as it requires a reduced number of drilling tools, and since the implant bed can be prepared in a precise manner, which matches the implant’s macro-geometry.

Our drilling protocols are adapted to the bone quality and quantity at the site, as well as the implant diameter and macro-design. Since the recommended drilling sequence for Touareg™ in hard bone is over-preparing the osteotomy, you can rest assured that if followed correctly, the protocol leads to a safe and successful surgical procedure. The Touareg™ thread design provides excellent primary stability, even when over-drilling.

Choosing an implant macro-design is often site-specific, as well as purpose specific. Generally, tapered (conical) implants offer a better opportunity to achieve primary stability, but there is a great deal of difference amongst the type of macro design and the corresponding osteotomy designs employed. An implant’s ability to compress bone, for the most part, will be based on how the implant body thread design and diameter are matched to the osteotomy form and diameter.

However, placing straight parallel-walled implants may be favorable for dense type D-I bone (such as the anterior mandible), to avoid over-compression of the bone, causing impairment of blood supply, and therefore implant failure.

The variation between the drilling protocols results from the difference between the implants’ macro design. Since Swell™ is a straight parallel-walled implant, and since it has minimal self-tapping and self-drilling capabilities, the standard protocol does not include under- or over-preparation of the osteotomy, as does the Touareg™ drilling sequence.

Osteotomes are surgical instruments used for final shaping of the osteotomy, enhancing bone quality. The osteotomes take advantage of the visco-elastic quality of bone, which allows it to be compressed and manipulated. Compression creates a denser area for implant placement. In contrast to drills used during the osteotomy preparation, the osteotome techniques do not generate heat, which is a major detriment to osseointegration. This technique also allows for greater tactile sensitivity. Several osteotome techniques can be performed in conjunction with implantation, such as compaction, cortical floor elevation, and ridge expansion.

Our product range includes implants with length of 6mm for diameters 4.2mm and above, and 8mm for 3.8mm. Shorter implants are currently under development.

Yes, the Morse Taper (conical) connection generates a cold welding effect, and therefore if you wish to remove an RP abutment, you should use the designated retrieval device.

In the RS (standard internal-hex) platform, the cold welding phenomenon does not occur, and therefore there is no equivalent for RS, as a retrieval device is not required for unscrewing the abutment.

An esthetic abutment is an abutment with a variable collar height, lower on the facial and higher on the lingual, for both anteriors and bicuspids. The abutment end-line is curvy, as it is designed to complement the gingival contour.

Esthetic abutments are used to create natural looking, cement-retained, single- or multiple-unit prostheses in the esthetic zone. They are especially intended for use in cases where a sufficient distance from implant to the buccal aspect of the abutment shoulder can be achieved.

Yes. ADIN provides slim healing abutments, with diameters as narrow as 4mm for the standard internal hex implant lines, and 3mm diameter for the narrow-platform Touareg CloseFit™ NP.

Several metal-free materials are available for esthetically pleasing restorations of anterior teeth. The main reason for using zirconia abutments is when the gingiva exhibits a thin periodontal biotype, as thin tissue can transmit the unesthetic gray silhouette of standard metal abutments. Placing a metal periodontal probe into the gingival sulcus is a simple technique for determining the biotype: If you can see the probe, the patient exhibits a thin biotype. In this case, you may want to consider using a zirconia abutment, since its bright white color looks better underneath the tissue.

ADIN provides both straight and angled (15°) zirconium abutments for each of the implant platforms.

Yes. All ADIN implants are suitable for treatments planned preoperatively with SimPlant 3D planning software, designed to prepare the implant bed, using surgical templates. All our components can be found in the SimPlant libraries.

The RS6090 is ADIN’s torque driver for ball-attachment abutments, fitted to the external hex on the abutment base.

The implant’s Fixture Mount is designed for initial implant positioning only. Completing implant insertion should only be done with the indicated surgical tools.

As the maximum bearable torque the Mount is ~85N/cm, the Mount hex may deform if misused, while the ratchet and handpiece adapters and drivers are planned for higher moment of ~180N/cm, and therefore more suitable for implant insertion.
