Overview
The dental implant verification jig system is designed for universal compatibility with major implant platforms through its connection interface system. This guide outlines supported dental implant systems, connection types, and any platform-specific considerations for optimal verification results.
What You'll Need
- Knowledge of your dental implant system connection type
- Manufacturer specifications for your implants
- Appropriate hex drivers for your system
- implant verification components
Step-by-Step
Identify Your dental implant system
Determine the manufacturer and specific implant line you are verifying. Common systems include Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Zimmer Biomet, Dentsply Sirona, BioHorizons, and others.
Determine Connection Type
Identify whether your implants use internal hex, external hex, conical (Morse taper), or other connection interfaces. This determines screw compatibility.
Select Compatible Screws
Match Dental implant verification screws to your implant connection. Use manufacturer-specific screws when available for optimal engagement.
Verify Hex Driver Compatibility
Ensure your hex driver matches both the verification screw and implant interface. Mismatched drivers risk stripping.
Confirm Torque Specifications
Apply torque values appropriate for your dental implant system. Most platforms specify 10-15 Ncm for verification procedures.
Test Fit Before Clinical Use
On a bench model or previous case, verify that all components engage properly before patient application.
Tips & Best Practices
- Maintain a compatibility reference chart in your operatory
- Stock common screw types for multi-system practices
- When in doubt, consult your verification system manufacturer technical support for guidance
- Document successful combinations for future reference
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Assuming universal fit
While Dental implant verification links are universal, screws must match your specific implant connection.
Using damaged screws
Worn or stripped screws compromise verification accuracy. Inspect before each use.
Ignoring torque specifications
Each dental implant system has specific torque recommendations. Follow manufacturer guidance.
