Overview
The dental implant verification jig system Instructions for Use provides comprehensive guidance on proper handling, clinical application, and maintenance of the system. This document covers indications, contraindications, warnings, and step-by-step usage protocols to ensure safe and effective verification of dental full arch dental implant positions.
What You'll Need
- implant verification Kit with appropriate size links
- Compatible dental implant system components
- Sterilization equipment (autoclave)
- Hex drivers and torque wrench (10-15 Ncm)
- Impression materials and custom tray
- Clinical documentation forms
Step-by-Step
Kit Contents Verification
Upon receipt, verify all components are present: titanium links in multiple lengths (10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm), hex screws, storage case, and documentation. Report any missing items immediately.
Pre-Procedure Sterilization
All Dental implant verification components must be sterilized before patient use. Follow the autoclave protocol: 134°C (273°F) for minimum 3 minutes wrapped, or 121°C (250°F) for 15 minutes.
Link Selection
Measure inter-implant distances and select appropriate link lengths. Links should span between adjacent implants with 2-3mm engagement on each side. Use a consistent link size across all connections when possible.
Assembly on Implants
Thread verification screws through link holes into implant platforms. Finger-tighten initially to confirm proper seating, then apply final torque of 10-15 Ncm per manufacturer specifications.
Sheffield Test Protocol
Apply torque to one distal screw only. Examine all non-torqued interfaces under magnification. Complete passivity means no visible gap at any interface. Repeat from opposite side.
Post-Use Processing
After clinical use, disassemble the verification assembly. Clean all components with enzymatic cleaner to remove biological debris. Inspect for damage before re-sterilization.
Tips & Best Practices
- Keep multiple link sizes available chairside for optimal span coverage
- Document Sheffield test results photographically for case records
- Use consistent torque values for reproducible testing
- Store components in dedicated case to prevent loss or damage
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using unsterilized components
All Dental implant verification components must be sterile for patient contact. Never skip the sterilization step.
Over-torquing screws
Excessive torque can damage implant interfaces. Follow the 10-15 Ncm specification.
Ignoring visual inspection
Always inspect components for wear, damage, or contamination before each use.
