Clinics: TiBase Connection

TiBase connected CEREC® superstructures are based on a special connector type and referring ceramic blocks with a pre-milled inner structure.

The process of case definition for implant abutments is different from 'normal' restorations.

There are some things we have to consider before we can start scanning. There are the selection of TiBase or ScanPost and the referring Scanbody.

The scanning of a TiBase situation is different from 'normal' scans.

Additional to the form of a classical crown the sub gingival area must be designed.

This is the classical solution with improved esthetics and more design options compared to the monolithic, screw retained crown.

After the design follows the setup for the milling of the restoration

After the milling the surface of the Abutmentcrown must be optimized. The next step after this is staining and glazing. Finally the crown goes to the furnace for crystallization.

Before the insertion to the mouth the milled abutment crown must be cemented to the TiBase.

Finally the cleaned and disinfected Abutmentcrown can be fixed with a screw and the screw hole can be closed.
