neoss 15347-1 ProActive Implants and Healing Abutments

Product Information

The Neoss implant system is a complete system of endosseous dental implants with corresponding instruments, prosthetic products, and accessories. The system includes ProActive Implants, Cover Esthetic Healing Screws, and Abutments.

ProActive Implant options include Edge SP, Straight SP, and Tapered SP. All implant dimensions 3.5 and larger have the same internal abutment connection (SP) independent of implant diameter. The 3.25 implants have a separate narrower abutment connection (NP). The implant surface has dual surface roughness, less surface roughness on the implant collar and increased roughness on the threaded part. The internal connection is equipped with interlocking elements for an insertion tool and the nonrotational locking of the abutment.

Cover Screws are one-piece products in titanium equipped with a Neo screwdriver connection and a threaded part to allow connection to dental implants protecting the abutment connection from tissue overgrowth during healing before prosthetic delivery.

Healing Abutments come in different variants and materials; PEEK is offered in both a cylindrical shape as well as several anatomical shapes (Esthetic with ScanPeg). PEEK Healing Abutments come with a Neo screw. Titanium one-piece products are available in different heights and an integrated Neo screwdriver connection.

INTENDED USE

The Neoss ProActive implants are endosseous dental implants intended for surgical placement in the maxillary or mandibular bone as a permanent anchorage for prosthetic products that replace lost natural teeth and restore chewing function, speech, and aesthetic appearance. Cover Screws and Healing Abutments are intended to protect the implant-abutment connection from bone or soft tissue in-growth when connected to the Neoss implants or Access Abutments during healing and before prosthetic delivery. Healing abutments also support and shape the soft tissue healing as a non-loaded part during the healing period prior to delivery of the prosthetic restoration.

Implants, Cover screws, and Healing abutments are intended for a single use for a single patient.

Product Usage Instructions

The Neoss ProActive implants are endosseous dental implants intended for surgical placement in the maxillary or mandibular bone as a permanent anchorage for prosthetic products that replace lost natural teeth and restore chewing function, speech, and aesthetic appearance.

The Neoss implant system is intended to be used for the treatment of edentulism by the replacement of one or more missing or failing teeth.

• Implants can be placed in fresh extraction sockets (immediate placement) as well as in healed sites.
• The implant can be placed using one-stage or two-stage surgical procedures.
• Immediate, early, or delayed loading procedures can be applied.
• Fixed as well as removable prosthetics may be used.
• Prostheses may be single implants or splinted restorations.

Recognizing sufficient bone volume and stability and appropriate occlusal loads for the chosen procedure.

Cover Screws and Healing Abutments are intended to protect the implant- abutment connection from bone or soft tissue in growth when connected to the Neoss implants or Access Abutments during healing and before prosthetic delivery. Healing abutments also support and shape the soft tissue healing as a non-loaded part during the healing period prior to delivery of the prosthetic restoration.

Implants, Cover Screws, and Healing Abutments are intended for single use for a single patient. The Neoss implant system is intended to be used for the treatment of edentulism by the replacement of one or more missing or failing teeth. Recognizing sufficient bone volume and stability and appropriate occlusal loads for the chosen procedure.

PATIENT TARGET GROUP
The product is intended for use in the adult population. Patients that have reached skeletal maturity and their jawbone is fully developed.

INTENDED USER AND CLINICAL SETTING
A licensed dental practitioner or physician will perform the clinical treatment using standardized, well-established surgical or prosthetic procedures in a hospital/clinic setting.

EXPECTED CLINICAL BENEFITS
The product is expected to fulfil its intended use in the specified indications, in its patient target group, during its expected lifetime.

EXPECTED LIFETIME OF THE PRODUCT IN FUNCTION

Implants:
The patient can, if not belonging to any groups with contraindications and if product is used as intended and for correct indications, expect the dental implant treatment to restore and maintain aesthetics and/or function for at least 25 years.

Healing Abutments, Cover Screws:
The patient can, if not belonging to any groups with contraindications, and if the product is used as intended and for correct indications, expect the products to stay in place until replaced with abutments and restorations.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Patients who are medically unfit for the medical procedure. The placement of implants in insufficient numbers or sizes to support biomechanical loads or undesirable positioning is contraindicated. Influencing factors might be narrow diameter implants, angulated abutments, posterior region, and insufficient bone quality and quantity. Such an example is narrow diameter implants in combination with angulated abutments such as angulated Access Abutments in the posterior region.

Fully guided implant placement with ProActive Edge Implant, i.e. utilizing the Neoss Guide Implant Mount for placement with a stop through a guide without impression taking. Treatment is contraindicated where the patient has a pre- existing allergy to products used for the treatment.

PROCEDURE

For detailed information on procedures for a specific Neoss Implant System product, please consult Neoss Implant System Clinical Handbook (10501).

Treatment Planning:
Clinical assessment before surgery is a prerequisite for efficient and accurate treatment. Anatomical features and patient-specific requirements are considered to determine implant position, number of implants, implant diameter and type. More exhaustive treatment planning measures are provided in the Neoss Implant System Clinical Handbook (10501) together with references to planning software.

Preparation of implant site:
The Neoss surgical trays are available for specific implant types and include proposed drill sequences considering different bone qualities.

Bone preparation shall be carried out under profuse irrigation with saline and using an intermittent drilling technique. This prevents the bone from overheating and creates a pumping effect for the efficient removal of bone debris. Recommended speed for drills is 800 – 2000 rpm using lower speed for larger drills. Recommended speed for countersinks is 800 rpm. The drill preparation depth shall correspond to the implant length and the countersink to the implant diameter.

Implant placement:
The implant is retrieved from the sterile implant vial with the Neoss Inserter and placed manually with the wrench adapter and the ratchet or with a machine handpiece.

The machine installation of the implant is carried out at low speed – recommended maximum of 20 rpm. Torque control can be used – a maximum of 45 Ncm is recommended.

Soft tissue closure:
Prior to soft tissue closure, a cover screw or healing abutment, available in the implant packaging as per image below, is selected and tightened to the implant with 10 Ncm torque.

Post-operative care:
The healing period for osseointegration varies but is dependent on specific criteria:

• stability of the implant at the time of placement
• bone quality
• grafted bone
• overall patient health
• expected masticatory forces

The decision when to load implants should be assessed at the time of surgical placement and followed up during healing. The Neoss System implants may be loaded at any time – immediately, 6 – 8 weeks or after such time as the surgical clinician deems appropriate based on the criteria mentioned above and the experience of the clinician. Provisional products used during the healing phase must be placed out of occlusion.

The patient is reviewed during the healing phase.

Implant access:
In preparation for impression taking the implant is exposed by either removing the healing abutment or performing a second-stage surgery to open the soft tissue to get access to the cover screw. The healing abutment or the cover screw is removed using the Neo screwdriver.

Tightening torques:
Tighten the screw using the Neo screwdriver in combination with the Neoss Ratchet. Set the required torque as listed below and on the packaging of the abutment or the screw.

WARNINGS
The Neoss implant system should only be used by a licensed dental practitioner or physician who have had the appropriate education and training.

Implement proper radiographic examination and planning to avoid vital anatomical structures (i.e. nerves, blood vessels, teeth or other sensitive structures) during implant site preparation and implant insertion. Because of the small size of the products, care must be taken that they are not swallowed or aspirated by the patient.

PRECAUTIONS

• Neoss implant system products should only be used together with original products and instruments.
• Routine implant treatment is not recommended in pediatric patients with uncompleted maxillary and mandibular growth.
• Neoss implants, cover screws, abutments, and abutment screws must be used solely on one patient. Single-use products should not be reused due to risks of product contamination, patient/user infection, and/or failure of the product to perform as intended.
• All multiple-use products must be maintained in good condition and inspected before use to avoid harm to patients and damage to products. See Document 14077 (Cleaning and maintenance of Neoss Reusable Products) for inspection guidelines.
• Careful clinical and radiographic examination to assess the overall medical status of the patient before treatment. Examples of risk factors for dental implant treatment are (but are not limited to):
  • Insufficient bone quantity or quality
  • Local or systemic infections or inflammation
  • Compromised general and local health
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Smoking – Alcohol or drug abuse
  • Disorders, medications or therapies affecting bone and wound healing (i.e. diabetes, chemotherapy, bisphosphonates)
  • History of or ongoing therapeutic radiation in the area
  • Uncontrolled bleeding disorders
  • Uncontrolled parafunctional habits or unfavorable jaw relationships
  • Poor patient compliance
• Assess vertical and horizontal intraoral space prior to treatment to assure unobstructed use of all components and instruments.
• Biomechanical principles should be recognized when choosing loading protocol as well as for the design and construction of the abutment and prosthesis to minimize unfavorable forces. Failure to do so can lead to excessive bending force and fatigue failure of the implant or abutment components.
• When possible, modifications to prosthetic reconstructions should take place extraoral.
• Waste materials should be handled according to the established procedures for hazardous materials at the hospital/clinic/laboratory.
• In the event of a malfunction of the product or changes in its performance of the product, the patient should contact the dentist for an assessment.
