Dentium’s single uniform connection throughout the NR Line implant system allows clinicians to confidently use any abutment regardless of implant diameter.
For a one-piece prosthesis (crown or FDP). The crown or FDP is fabricated as one unit either with a casted metal substructure with layered ceramic, or resin/acrylic layered onto the temporary abutment. The metal substructure and layered material cannot be separated. The entire prosthesis (crown or FDP) is secured to the implant via a single prosthetic screw.

The metal substructure and layered material cannot be separated. The entire prosthesis (crown or FDP) is secured to the implant via a single prosthetic screw.
For a two-piece prosthesis (crown or FDP). A generic stock abutment is secured to the implant via a single prosthetic screw and the prosthesis (tooth portion) is secured and retained onto the abutment via a cement layer. Note that cementation of the crown or FDP is usually performed intra-orally (in the patient’s mouth). However, if a screw-hole is designed into the tooth portion, cementation can be performed intra-orally and then the entire prosthesis can be removed for ideal cement clean-up and polishing. Cementation could also be performed extra-orally (on the dental model) and delivered into the mouth.

This ENGAGING or NON-ENGAGING component has a variety of diameters (Ø 10.0 mm, 14.0 mm, 15.0 mm). The large abutment blank allows ample room for the technician to digitally design and mill a customized abutment. The advantage of using an abutment blank is that the interface and abutment are fabricated as one piece. This abutment is ideal for the digital workflow where a customized abutment is required and a cemented CAD-CAM all-ceramic implant-supported crown or FDP will be delivered. Please note that currently only certified milling centers are able to mill the Dentium abutment blanks.
For a two-piece cement-retained prosthesis (crown or FDP). The clinician can insert and deliver the specialized stock abutment, torque it, and leave it in place for the duration of the entire restoration fabrication process and try-in. A protective comfort cap can be used to cover the abutment in between restorative visits.
For a one-piece screw-retained prosthesis (FDP). The casted metal sub-structure/framework is screwed directly the multi-unit abutments. The tooth-colored super-structure can consist of porcelain layered directly onto the metal framework, or individual crowns cemented onto ‘thimble’ style preparations on the framework. These components are best utilized in conventional laboratory workflows (manual wax-up and casting) or hybrid laboratory workflows (digital framework design, mill framework in wax, then cast).
This ENGAGING or NON-ENGAGING component has one diameter (Ø 5.0mm). The 12 mm abutment height allows ample screw channel ‘chimney’ height in situations where there is excess prosthetic space, but allows the technician the ability to manually reduce the height prior to casting. These abutments are ideal for traditional casted metal frameworks with any type of metal alloy for implant-supported restorations restored to the abutment-level. Please note that this type of component is the earliest version of a castable component. Lab technicians may find it easier to use the metal cylinder for an improved implant abutment fit.

This ENGAGING or NON-ENGAGING component has one diameter (Ø 5.0 mm). The 12 mm abutment height allows ample room for the technician to adjust the height of the abutment based on the clinical situation. These components are ideal for interim acrylic or resin implant-supported restorations restored to the abutment-level.
For securing a removable denture directly to implant fixtures or an implant-supported bar substructure. Clinicians may choose their preferred retention method to be a ball attachment. Clinicians may choose their preferred retention method to be a ball attachment.
The Mini-ball attachment utilizes a spherical projection on the implant with a reduced neck diameter where a rubber O-ring engages. This type of attachment is the most forgiving offering freedom of movement of the prosthesis in all three axes (vertical, anterior-posterior, mesial-distal). The clinician has the choice of various gingival heights of the abutments (1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm).
