RESPONSIBILITY/LIABILITY As part of an overall scheme, Thommen implants may be

used only with the ori ginal components and instruments in accordance with the manu-

facturer’s instructions. The use of unapproved components from other systems can

cause malfunctioning of the implants and abutments and lead to implant failure. The use

of the product is the responsibility of the user and, as such, beyond the control of

Thommen Medical AG. We refuse to accept any re sponsibility or liability for any damage

due to incorrect utilization of the product.

Products labeled “Do not re-use” may not be refurbished and/or reused. The refurbish-

ment and/or reuse of these products can affect their function (fitting and/or cutting

properties) as well as their safe use (risk of infection, disease transmission, fading of the

laser or colour marks, corrosion). Detailed information about the possible conse quences,

which may result from negligence to follow this information, is avail able from your dealer.

Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dentist of

physician.

New 17° angled VARIO abutments are ideally suited for occlusal screw-

retained single or multiple unit restorations where implants have been

placed with pronounced angulation to the planned prosthetics. The abut-

ments made from CP Titanium, are available with two different rotational

orientations of the cone with respect to the hexagon to allow optimal

alignment of the abutment. The prefabricated gold alloy screw seat ensures

a precise connection between the finished crown or bridge and abutment.

Advantages at a glance

· Axial angulation of up to 17° can be managed

· Two abutment versions for an exact alignment

· Prefabricated gold alloy screw seat for optimal precision

· Can be combined with existing VARIO abutments for

bridge

Indications

Thommen SPI®VARIO angled abutments are intended to be used in con-

junction with SPI® System dental implants in the maxillary and/or mandibular

arch to provide support for crowns or bridges.

Contraindications, warnings, and precautions for use with the SPI® Dental

Implant System are included in the SPI® dental implant instructions for use.

Note

Angled abutments on small diameter implants are not recommended for

use in the molar region, unless they are splinted to larger diameter implants.

Application

SELECTION abutments

VARIO abutments 17° SELECTION are available for planning purposes.

They include hexagon orientation type A (0°) or B (30°) for trial alignment.

The positioning handle may be inserted into the SELECTION abutment

occlusal screw channel to visualize the orientation of the cone and also

for placing the SELECTION abutments.

The SELECTION abutment shape and height of 7.6 mm above implant

shoulder corresponds to the minimum possible assembled height of a

crown or bridge construction.

Processing instructions for the fabrication of the suprastructure

The VARIO abutment 17° is ideally suited for small bridges having two implants

with minimal divergence and one or two intermediary units. The maximum

angulation between two implants which can be managed is as follows:

PF � 3.5 mm 6.0°

PF � 4.0 mm 7.0°

PF � 4.5 mm 8.5°

PF � 5.0 mm 11.0°

For bridge restorations with greater implant divergences, it is recommended

to use the VARIOmulti abutment system.

The prefabricated VARIO screw seat must be used for fabrication of the

superstructure. The plastic burn-out tube may be shortened to the upper

edge of the screw seat.

Place the abutment on the analog and secure it using the appropriate

abutment screw.

Place the VARIO screw seat on the VARIO abutment 17° and secure it

with an occlusal screw.

Shorten the plastic cylinder to allow for maximum intercuspation. Avoid

occlusal contact of the plastic cylinder with the antagonist tooth. Maintain a

minimum construct height of 7.6 mm.

The VARIO abutment 17° must not be modified in any way as this may affect

the precision fit of the screw seat.

Before wax-up, the abutment screw channel must be blocked out with a

suitable material (A) that can be removed without leaving residues. In the

case of single crowns, block out the surface of the screw channel such that

an antirotation element is generated on the inside of the crown.

Wax up a corresponding crown or bridge framework onto the abutment in-

cluding the screw seat using standard procedures. Remove the occlusal

screw in order to remove the wax-up.

Invest and cast the superstructure following the procedures described in

detail in the brochure, VARIO/RETAIN Fo_22d010 or VARIOmulti Fo_22d117.

After casting, devest the framework and clean it carefully by using stand-

ard methods such as ultrasound, water steam, pickling and fi berglass

brush.

The screw (A) seat must not be sandblasted or reworked under any

circumstances as this may affect the precision fi t of the components.

Process and fi nish the construction in additional working steps according

to standard procedures.

We recommend fabrication of a transfer key.

New abutment and occlusal screws must be used for permanent inser-

tion of the restoration in the mouth.

Always follow the recommended torque values of 15 Ncm for abutment

screws PF � 3.5 mm, and 25 Ncm for abutment screws PF � 4.0–

6.0 mm. The occlusal screw requires a torque value of 15 Ncm.

Sterilization

VARIO angled abutments are provided non-sterile and should be sterilized

by standard gravity autoclave at 134 ºC (274 ºF) for 40 minutes with a

drying time of 20–60 minutes or pre-vacuum autoclave at 134 ºC (274 ºF)

for 18 minutes with a drying time of 20–60 minutes.
