Instructions for Use

Indications
Blue Sky Bio Zygomatic Implant System is indicated for surgical installation in the zygoma region, in cases of severe jaw resorption, to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. Blue Sky Bio zygomatic implants are recommended for the posterior (pre-molar/molar) region, one implant on each side, with at least two standard dental implants in the anterior region to support a fixed restoration. Blue Sky Bio zygomatic implants may be loaded immediately when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.

Contraindications
Implants should not be placed a time when there are general contraindications associated with elective oral surgery. Absolute and relative contraindications include but are not limited to: cardiac and vascular disease, bleeding disorders, psychological disorders, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, mineral, bone, or connective tissue disorders, renal disease, hepatic disease, auto- immune disorders, decreased immune function due to disease or medications, infectious disorders, and adverse conditions caused by medications. Further, relative contraindications include poor oral hygiene, bruxism, malnutrition, alcoholism, tobacco usage, and a history of radiation therapy. In addition, the patient needs an adequate volume of residual bone for the placement of implants of sufficient size and number to support the anticipated functional loads to which the patient will subject these implants.

Warning
Implants should be placed and restored only by practitioners who are licensed and trained to perform these procedures. Adequate preoperative studies should be performed to examine the anatomic structures and to assess the biomechanical, functional, and esthetic requirements of each case. Radiographs or other diagnostic reviews should be performed to determine the position and topography of the maxillary sinus, nasal cavities, inferior alveolar nerve, mental foramen, natural tooth positions and other anatomical features that may affect implant placement or prognosis. Consultation between the surgeon, restorative dentist, and dental laboratory is essential for success. Risks of implant placement and restoration include but are not limited to infection, implant failure, loss of bone and soft tissue, unfavourable aesthetic result, anesthesia, dysesthesia and paresthesia in the oral and facial areas, sinus infection, dislodgement of implants and instruments in the surrounding structures, damage to adjacent teeth, non-restorable implants, fracture of implants or restorative components, and loosening of implants or restorative components. These implants should not be used on patients with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to titanium alloys.

Each implant system has unique measuring characteristics to allow full seating of the implant to the desired depth. In some instances, drill length reference lines measure longer than the stated length of the implant. It is recommended that the implant surgeon be thoroughly familiar with the specific measurement system being utilized and provide a suitable safety margin adjacent to any teeth and vital structures. Failure to recognize the difference between the actual length of the drill and radiographic measurements can result in permanent injury to the nerves or other vital structures by drilling beyond the depth intended, potentially resulting in permanent numbness to the lower lip and chin or other injuries.

Each implant system has specific design characteristics for mating implants, abutments, prosthetic components, and instrumentation. Combining instruments and components that are not configured or dimensioned for correct mating can lead to mechanical failure of components, damage to tissue, or unsatisfactory aesthetic results.

One hundred per cent success cannot be guaranteed. Lack of adequate quantity and/or quality of remaining bone, infection, inadequate surgical technique, poor patient oral hygiene, and generalized disease are some potential causes for failure of osseointegration, both immediately after surgery or after osseointegration is initially achieved. Pre-operative hard tissue or soft tissue deficits may yield a compromised aesthetic result or unfavourable implant angulation. Concerning children, routine treatment is not recommended until the completion of alveolar growth has been verified.

Precaution – MRI Safety Information
The Blue Sky Bio Zygomatic Implant System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifacts in the MR environment. The safety of the Blue Sky Bio Zygomatic Implant System in the MR environment is unknown. Scanning a patient who has this device may result in patient injury.

Procedural Precautions, Surgery
All efforts must be made to minimize damage to the host tissue. In particular, special attention must be paid to thermal and surgical trauma and to the elimination of contaminants and sources of infection. The surgical procedure requires a high degree of precision and care. Any divergence from the principle of least possible trauma at implant installation increases the risk of failure to establish osseointegration. All drilling procedures should be performed at a maximum of 1000-2000 RPM with copious irrigation. The use of sharp drills, sufficient irrigation, an in-and-out drilling motion, short cutting cycles, waiting for the bone to cool, and the use of pilot drills in successively increasing sizes is essential. Please refer to our website for the specific sequence of drills for each implant type and size. Special care should be taken to avoid over or under-preparation of the osteotomy. Implants should be inserted in such a way that they are stable and lack any mobility. Excessive insertion torque (greater than 60 Ncm) may lead to damage to the implant or instruments and fracture or necrosis of the bone site. All instruments used in surgery must be maintained in good condition and care must be taken that the instruments do not damage the implants or other components. Precautions must be taken to avoid the swallowing or aspiration of components used in implant dentistry. After the implant installation, the surgeon’s evaluation of bone quality and initial stability will determine when implants may be loaded. An appropriate follow-up protocol should be followed.

Procedural Precautions, Prosthetics
Especially important is proper stress distribution through passive adaptation and fitting of the bridge to the implant abutments, adjusting occlusion to the opposing jaw, and avoiding excessive transverse loading forces. Immediate loading and immediate temporization require additional precautions and are not suitable for all cases. Because of the small size of prosthetic components, care must be taken so that they are not swallowed or aspirated by the patient.
Angled abutments and unpainted narrow implants should not be used in the posterior area of the mouth.

Instructions for Abutments for Restoration of Blue Sky Bio Implants

• After adequate osseointegration, the implants should be uncovered, if necessary, and the cover screw should be removed. The internal part of the implant should be irrigated, freed from debris, and dried. If necessary, a healing abutment should be placed and the tissue should be allowed to heal around the healing abutment. A final abutment that is compatible with the implant should be chosen.

• If the abutment is modified at the chairside, it is advisable to make an impression and make a preliminary model to identify any undercuts before making the final impression. A carbide or diamond bur can be used with copious irrigation to remove the undercuts.

• The indexing feature of the abutment (e.g. hexagon or square) should match the internal indexing feature of the implant. Adequate seating can be verified
  with a radiograph.

• If the abutment is modified in a laboratory, proper orientation of the abutment into the implant should be identified using a transfer jig or any other
  transfer device. Final abutment seating should be performed using an insertion driver compatible with the selected implant system and a torque wrench
  applying 30 Ncm of torque on the abutment or fastening screw.

• Abutments should not be over-prepared, and the retention of restoration and the strength of the abutment should be taken into consideration. It is
  recommended that less than 50% of the structure of customizable abutments and less than 30% of straight abutments be removed.

• Modifying the abutment at the junction with the implant is not recommended.

• A restoration should be fabricated and inserted while making sure that the restoration is stable and occlusal load is appropriate. One-piece implants require
  intraoral modification of the abutment portion of the implant. The implant should not be overprepared to avoid fracture of the implant.

Follow Up Care
Patients should be instructed in appropriate oral hygiene and care of the implants and restorations. Periodic follow-up appointments should be made to confirm and maintain adequate function of the implants and the health of the surrounding tissues.

Sterility

• All implants are supplied sterile and are for single use only before the labelled expiration date. Do not use implants if the packaging has been damaged or previously opened.
• Abutments, abutment screws, and instruments are supplied non-sterile and must be cleaned and sterilized before use. The recommended method is moist heat (steam) sterilization cycle: gravity-displacement, wrapped, 30-minute exposure at 121 °C (250 °F), and 15 minutes of drying. Use a wrap that is FDA-cleared for the indicated cycle.
