Cement-Retained Restorations
 Hex-Lock™ Plastic Temporary Abutments
Create a natural emergence profile during tissue healing with simple and esthetic provisional restorations on Screw-Vent or other internal hex implants. Provisional restorations can be cemented to the abutment with temporary cement, or autopolymerizing acrylic can be bonded directly to the abutment. The off-white color of the abutments allows for enhanced esthetic outcomes, especially in anterior regions.
Each is affordable enough for routine use and is sold with an easy-to-prepare retaining screw that can be used to create a screw access channel.

 Hex-Lock Straight and 20° Angled Abutments
These friction-fit abutments are offered in three emergence profiles for the Screw-Vent implant system. The design allows the clinician to prepare the margin exactly where it is needed. The abutments form a virtual "cold weld" when assembled with the implant's internal hex, essentially eliminating micromovement, the leading cause of screw-loosening.
In combination with the flat of the fixture mount, Zimmer Dental's angled abutments for internal hex implants are manufactured with the angle aligned to the flat of the hex so that accurate positioning can be accomplished. This process is known as indexing of the implant's hex.

 "Cast-To" Gold Abutments
These components feature a gold base and a plastic sheath, which is incorporated into the abutment pattern and cast onto the base. These abutments are offered in engaging and non-engaging options. The engaging component can be used for a single-unit, combined post and crown or for cemented crown and bridge applications. The non-engaging version bypasses the internal hex for use in multiple unit restorations.
