Anthogyr Axiom TL REG-PX-X3 Implants

Product description

Axiom® Tissue Level REG/PX/X3 (Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3) implants are part of the Axiom® Multi Lev-el® system, an implant concept which offers a range of endosseous dental implants of various designs (length, diameter, thread profile, platform, etc.) and the corresponding prosthetic parts, healing compo-nents and ancillary instruments.
Axiom® Multi Level® implants are implants with a BCP (Biphasic Calcium Phosphate) sandblasted en-dosseous surface.
Axiom® Multi Level® dental implants can be used after extraction or after the loss of natural teeth to restore chewing function. The prosthetic resto- rations available include single crowns, bridges and partial or full arch dentures, which are connected to the implants via the corresponding abutments. These instructions for use apply to the following dental implants:

• Axiom® TL REG implants
• Axiom® TL PX implants
• Axiom® TL X3 implants

A cover screw is supplied with the implant and can be found in the cap of the implant tube.

Materials:
Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI alloy:

Intended use

Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 implants are intended for oral implantation to replace missing tooth roots, and to provide support for dental restoration.

Indications
Axiom® TL implants are indicated for stabilisation of removable dentures or the fixation of single unit or multiple unit restorations.
Axiom® TL implants can be used in one-stage or two-stage surgeries in the upper and lower jaw of partially or fully edentulous patients to restore the function of a missing tooth. They can be placed with immedi-ate function in appropriate clinical situations (good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading). Axiom® TL PX implants are designed to achieve good primary stability in soft bone. They are suitable for immediate or delayed implantation.
Axiom® TL X3 implants are designed for immediate use in suitable clinical situations (sufficient primary stability and appropriate occlusive loads).

Clinical benefits
Restore function of a missing tooth.

Patient type and intended user
Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 implants are intended for use with partially or totally edentulous adult patients who do not present any of the conditions mentioned in the “Contraindications” section.
Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 implants must be used by a surgeon trained in dental implantology.

Caution/Precaution

Clinical use:
Single-use devices: do not reuse or resterilise. Doing so increases the risk of contamination and risk of alteration of the functional surfaces.
It is important to perform a pre-clinical assessment and treatment plan that takes into account the anatomical constraints of the future restoration.
Do not use an implant after the expiry date indicated on the packaging.
Safety information regarding Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
The safety and compatibility of Anthogyr devices that remain in the patient’s body have not been evaluated in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment. They have not been tested for heat build-up, migration or artefacts in MR environments. The safety of An-thogyr devices in an MR environment is unknown. Performing an MRI examination on a patient wearing such a device may result in injuries.

Cleaning and disinfection
Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 implants are supplied sterile (GAMMA sterilisation) and are intended for single use. Do not clean or sterilise the implants. Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation can compromise the essential material and design features of the implants and result in device failure.

Sterilisation
Anthogyr dental implants are supplied sterile. Check that the entire packaging of the device is undamaged before opening. Implant with a damaged packaging must not be used. It is recommended to have a replacement implant readily available for use. The intact blister pack protects the sterilised implant against any external influence and, if stored properly, guarantees sterility until the expiry date. The blister pack must not be opened before implant use. When removing the implant from the sterile packaging, asepsis rules must be followed.
Anthogyr declines all responsibility for resterilised implants, regardless of who carried out the re-sterilisation or the method used. Under no circumstances should a previously used or non-sterile implant be implanted. If the original packaging is damaged, Anthogyr will not accept the return of the content.

Protocol for use
Refer to the brochures listed in the “Further informa-tion” section for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Step 1: Preoperative planning
The type, diameter and length of the implant, the diameter and the height of the platform, as well as the number of implants to be used and their positioning must be determined in advance, taking into account the patient’s anatomy and the oral environment. For this purpose, use the X-ray templates available in the range or a digital library.

Step 2: Preparation of the implant site

1. Mark the site with a pointer drill or a round bur.
2. Each site should be prepared using a progressive sequence of drilling diameters in accordance with the implant diameter and the bone density. Make sure never to exceed the depth of the planned drilling: use of depth stops on each rotational instrument or use of drills with a stop or a contra-angle fitted with a stop system.

Please refer to the “step-by-step” guidelines listed in the “Further information” section. The practitioner must adapt the drilling/tapping sequences as best as possible to the clinical case (especially regarding the bone density).
Avoid overheating the bone when drilling and tightening the implant to reduce the risk of bone loss during the osteointegration phase. The risk of overheating the bone can be reduced by using irrigation.
Step 3: Removing the implant from the packaging
The implant is packaged in a cardboard box with sterile packaging consisting of a sealed blister pack and a capped tube.

• Remove the blister from the cardboard box outside of the sterile field.
• Open the seal without touching the inside of the blister.
• Let the capped tube gently fall on the sterile field.

Warning: All handling should be done so as to avoid direct contact with the exterior surface of the implant. When handling the implant, be very careful not to drop it in the patient’s mouth.
The implant is movable once the tube and cap have been opened. Make sure to keep the tube upright when handling, with the implant access pointing upward.

1. Open the packaging with one hand.
2. Use the corresponding implant wrench or mandrel to pick up the implant directly.
   a. Press the packaging on the indicated areas to immobilise the implant.
   b. Connect the implant tightening instrument into the implant.
   c. Ensure that the instrument is sufficiently engaged in the implant connection before removing it from the packaging. To do this, check that the first grey part is no longer visible.
   d. Release the packaging to free the implant.
   e. Remove the implant from the packaging.

REPLACE THE IMPLANT IN THE PACKAGING DURING SURGERY IF NECESSARY

1. Position the implant between the packaging sheets.
2. Press the packaging on the indicated areas to immobilise the implant.
3. Disconnect the implant tightening instrument from the implant.
4. Release the packaging.

Step 4: Insert the implant

PLACEMENT USING A CONTRA-ANGLE:

• Adjust the output speed of the contra-angle to the recommended speed of:
• 15 rpm for Axiom® TL PX
• 15 rpm for Axiom® TL X3
• 25 rpm for Axiom® TL REG
• Using the contra-angle, screw the implant into the channel to the desired depth. The Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 surgical protocol provides for a 0.5 mm subcrestal positioning of the implant and 0.5 to 1 mm sub-gingival positioning of the implant. Implant wrenches and mandrels have markings for the vertical positioning of the implant relative to anatomical structures.
• In case of single-unit restoration, at the end of the screwing process, orient the implant trilobe as closely as possible in the appropriate direction,depending on the desired prosthetic restoration and the situation in the mouth. To do this, implant wrenches and mandrels have 3 sides, each of them represented by a visual mark on the instrument’s body.

Warning: Check the tightening torque frequently to make sure it does not exceed 80 N.cm. Untighten and retighten to reduce the screw pressure if needed.

MANUAL PLACEMENT:

Using the ratchet wrench (available in the kit):

• Manually pre-tighten the implant into the implant channel using the implant wrench or implant manual screw wrench.
• Assemble the surgical ratchet wrench.
• Screw the implant into the channel to the desired depth. The Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 surgical protocol provides for a 0.5 mm subcrestal positioning of the implant. Implant wrenches have markings for the vertical positioning of the implant relative to anatomical structures.
• At the end of the screwing process, orient the im-plant trilobe as closely as possible in the appropriate direction, depending on the desired prosthetic restoration and the situation in the mouth. To do this, implant wrenches and mandrels have 3 sides, each of them represented by a visual mark on the instrument’s body.

Using the universal surgical instrument:
The universal surgical instrument can be used in the anterior maxillary area to control and guide the insertion of the Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 implant along the implant axis.

• Remove the implant from the packaging using the trilobed tightening mandrel.
• Screw the implant into the channel to the desired depth. The Axiom® TL REG/PX/X3 surgical protocol provides for a 0.5 mm subcrestal positioning of the implant and 0.5 to 1 mm sub-gingival positioning of the implant. Implant wrenches and mandrels have markings for the vertical positioning of the implant relative to anatomical structures.
• In case of unitary restoration, at the end of the screwing process, orient the implant trilobe as closely as possible in the appropriate direction, depending on the desired prosthetic restoration and the situation in the mouth. To do this, implant wrenches and mandrels have 3 sides, each of them represented by a visual mark on the instrument’s body.

Warning: When inserting the implant with the surgical ratchet wrench or universal surgical instrument, control of the tightening torque is not possible. However, the verification of the torque using a surgical dynamometric wrench to tighten the implant is possible.
Too high of a torque can damage the connection. Untighten and retighten to reduce the screw pressure if needed.

Step 5: Soft tissue treatment, wound closure

• Select the appropriate healing component for the treatment.
• Refer to the instructions for use for healing com-ponents.

USE OF THE COVER SCREW:

• Remove the cover screw from the cap of the implant tube.
  1. Connect the manual surgical wrench to the screw.
  2. Pull to release the screw.
• Tighten manually < 10 N.cm, without forcing the cover screw in the implant.
• Suture above the cover screw to begin the integration period.

Healing phase
The healing period required for osseointegration varies considerably and depends on the individual patient and treatment.
It is the sole responsibility of the surgeon to decide when the implant can be loaded. If temporary com-ponents are used during the healing phase, they must be placed in sub-occlusion.
