Final restoration
Before installation the final restoration must undergo a cleaning and sterilisation process. The cleaning should preferably take place in an ultrasonic unit with a mixture of dishwasher detergent and water. Steam-autoclave the final restoration according to the autoclave manufacturer’s instructions.

Final restoration, step 1

1. Install the final restoration using the Bridge Screws and a slot screwdriver. Confirm a passive fit and appropriate design for functional contacts and optimal soft-tissue situation. Tighten the screws with firm finger force, 20 Ncm.

Cover the screw head with rubber, cotton or a temporary filling material, which is easy to retrieve.

Note: Do not use polythene materials in the screw channels as they can be difficult to remove.

For the final tightening of the Bridge Screws, use a slot screwdriver or a torque wrench. The recommended torque is 35 Ncm.

Cover the screw head with rubber or cotton before the screw entrance hole is filled with a suitable composite material.
