NEW YORK, NY and CARLSBAD, CA, USA: Zimmer Dental, a provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, recently announced the availability of the Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System in the United States. Created to minimize the challenges faced by clinicians and labs, this new, all-inclusive system is designed to promote simple, immediate and convenient posterior restorations.

According to Zimmer Dental, the Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System includes the new titanium Hex-Lock Short Abutment and corresponding Short Restorative Components, which are designed to address a myriad of challenges presented to clinicians and labs during the posterior restoration process, including limited interocclusal space, reduced visibility and time-consuming prep work.

With the Hex-Lock Short Abutment’s reduced cone height, predetermined margins and off-the-shelf convenience, Zimmer says, chair and preparation times can be significantly reduced. The all-inclusive Restorative System provides snap-on caps for easier abutment level impression taking, and prefabricated copings for immediate provisionalization and final crown preparation — all in the name of optimum efficiency.

Because the restorative protocol is the same as Zimmer Dental’s Hex-Lock Contour Abutment System, no additional learning curve is required, and, with color-coding to match the emergence profiles, customers have a system that is simple, immediate, and convenient, the company says. The Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System is ideal for single- and two-stage protocols and is designed to work seamlessly with the Tapered Screw-Vent and Screw-Vent Implant Systems.
