Zimmer Dental is making its Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System available to the U.S. market. Created to minimize the challenges faced by clinicians and labs, this all-inclusive system promotes simple, immediate, and convenient posterior restorations, according to the company.
The system includes the new titanium Hex-Lock Short Abutment and corresponding short restorative components, designed to address the 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, chair and preparation times can be significantly reduced, according to Zimmer. The restorative system provides snap-on caps for easier abutment level impression taking, and prefabricated copings for immediate provisionalization and final crown preparation.
In addition, because the restorative protocol is the same as Zimmer Dental's Hex-Lock Contour Abutment System, no additional learning curve is required, according to the company.
