INTRODUCTION General Information Read this manual carefully before starting treatment. The manual is intended as a reference guide to optimize the use of Cortex implants, surgical instruments and prosthetic components. It does not replace the formal training of clinicians and dental laboratory technicians, and should not be taken as a recommendation on protocol or component selection. Important Warning Implantation procedures should not be performed without sufficient experience and adequate training at a certified institution. Lack of training poses a major health risk to patients and can lead...

CORTEX IMPLANTS Cortex Implants Cortex dental implants are made with biocompatible titanium alloy and consist of threaded, tapered and straight designs featuring a proprietary internal hex or conical connection which provide superior strength, stability and esthetics. Conical Connection Platform is the unique interface between the fixture and the abutment. It gives it superior bending strength and elasticity and eliminates the micro-movements and micro-leakage between the two. The conical interface allows simple self-guiding seating of the abutment without the the necessity of using an extra...

CORTEX IMPLANTS Surgical Strategies Allows the implantologists to adopt any implant strategy during the implant procedure: • • • • • Two stages (submerge). One stage - Metal healing cap. Immediate loading. Plastic healing cap/Immediate temporization. Immediate impression. Cost Effective Package: 6 Elements in One • • • • • • Cover screw Plastic healing cap Titanium healing cap Transfer Abutment Implant Prime Implant Set Package • • Dental Implant Surgical cover screw

SURGICAL PROTOCOL Indication for Use Cortex Dental Implant System is intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multi-unit restorations, including: cement-retained, screw-retained, over denture restorations and terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework. Contraindications Contraindications customary in oral surgery should be observed. Patients with the following conditions should not be considered for implant procedures: • Patients taking corticosteroids, anticoagulants or anticonvulsant treatment and those receiving radiation...

SURGICAL PROTOCOL Warnings The implant placement procedure should be done under aseptic conditions with specifically designed sterile surgical instruments. A surgical drill system with internal or external irrigation is recommended for drilling the surgical site. The specific drilling sequences for placement of implants should be followed. The use of surgical guides, a depth probe, and parallel pins are recommended to aid in implant placement and positioning. Improper techniques can cause implant failure and loss of bone. No attempt should be made to alter or modify the implant body. The use...

SURGICAL PROTOCOL Adverse Reactions Complications that can occur include: infection, bone loss, patient discomfort, implant mobility, local soft-tissue degeneration, and unfavorable implant placement or alignment. Treatment for these reactions should follow standard dental procedures as would be indicated and applied for natural dentition. These include pain medications, antibiotics, removal from function, removal of mobile implants, and soft tissue/bone debridement and augmentation. Implant mobility, bone loss, or chronic infection may indicate implant failure. Any implant that appears to be...

DATA COLLECTION Examination and Treatment Planning Patient Evaluation And Selection • Before any treatment, the patient must be informed about expected outcomes of preoperative examination, including the expected results of the risks. • Patients should sign a consent form to indicate their acceptance of treatment. • Patient health status should be docomented, including information general medical contraindications, the surgical treatment, mental psychoses, alcohol and all of the information mentioned in instructions for use. If the patient’s medical history reveals an existing condition or indicates...

DATA COLLECTION 3. Vertical Bone Quantity Dental implants needs to be stabilized in a good quality bone for successful result. The amount of bone available for implant retention differs from site to site. In situations where the initial stabilization is questionable, it is necessary to augment the bone volume prior to implant insertion. The unique design of cortex implants, achieves of high primary stability even in very small quantities of bone, and allows bone volume augmentation simultaneously with implant insertion, if needed. 4. Horizontal Bone Quantity CT Scan can give us the correct data...

INSTRUMENTATION Cortex Instrumentation All Cortex surgical instruments are provided non-sterile. Always remove the instruments from the packaging prior to sterilization. Inspect the surgical instrumentation to ensure sterility and functionality. For example, drills will become dull after many uses. Always have a backup drill sterile and available. Cortex recommends drill replacement after 20 osteotomies depending on bone density. Drilling Implant site is prepared in a sequential procedure using drills of increasing diameter with depth indication lines that give a reading of the desired drilling...
