What are SMART 1 Implant Abutments?
SMART 1 Abutments are a proprietary implant abutment solution of Burbank Dental Lab. These custom implant abutments are designed for both functionality and aesthetics. Manufactured from high-quality titanium or zirconia with a titanium base, these abutments ensure a perfect balance of strength and biocompatibility.
SMART 1 Abutments are engineered with precision, offering a secure fit, excellent stability, and optimal tissue integration. They are compatible with most implant systems, ensuring flexibility and ease of use for dentists across various clinical scenarios.
Key Features of SMART 1 Implant Abutments:
COMPOSITION
FLEXURAL STRENGTH
IN-LAB WORKING TIME
WARRANTY
TENSIILE STRENGTH
Studies have demonstrated the exceptional performance of custom abutments in enhancing implant stability and aesthetics. SMART 1 Abutments build on this foundation by combining cutting-edge materials with precise manufacturing. Titanium abutments boast a tensile strength exceeding 800 MPa, while zirconia abutments offer a flexural strength of over 1,200 MPa. These properties ensure long-term success, even in challenging clinical environments.
SMART 1 Abutments are suitable for a wide range of restorative applications, including:
SMART 1 Abutments are designed to integrate effortlessly into your workflow. Their precision engineering provides a hassle-free experience, from case planning to final restoration.
To ensure the successful fabrication of SMART 1 Abutments, dentists need to provide essential information and materials tailored to their preferred workflow. Burbank Dental Lab accommodates traditional and digital workflows, streamlining the process for predictable outcomes.
Impression Taking
Capture precise details of the surrounding tissue and neighboring teeth with a PVS impression of the implant site.
Implant Analog
Send the corresponding implant analog for accurate model creation.
Bite Registration
Specify the desired material, restoration type, and shade.
Shade Selection
Specify the desired shade for optimal aesthetic matching.
Lab Prescription
Clearly outline the case requirements, including material preference (titanium or zirconia with Ti-base), abutment design, and emergence profile.
Intraoral Scan
An intraoral scanner captures a detailed digital scan of the implant site. Ensure the scan includes implant specific scan body, neighboring teeth, gingival contours, and occlusal surfaces. Please make sure to include specific platform company, series, diameter, and scan body used.
File Submission
Upload STL or other compatible files through the portal at Burbank Dental Lab.
Design Preferences
Communicate specific design requirements, including angulation, tissue support, and material choice.
Shade and Material
Specification
Indicate the desired shade and whether titanium or zirconia with a Titanium Base is preferred.
SMART 1 Abutments and restorations can be easily placed chairside due to their precise fabrication and custom design. To ensure optimal placement and fit, follow these steps:
Inspect the abutment
Before placement, verify the design and fit of the abutment to ensure proper compatibility. Confirm that it aligns with the dental lab prescription and is free from contaminants.
Prepare the implant site
Clear the implant site of any debris or healing abutments. Confirm that the implant platform is clean and ready for the placement of the abutment.
Seat the abutment
Align the abutment with the implant and gently seat it using a handpiece or manual driver. Ensure the connection is secure without excessive force.
Tighten the abutment screw
Use the torque specifications provided by the implant manufacturer to secure the abutment in place. Do not overtighten the implant or abutment, as this can compromise its integrity.
Evaluate fit and positioning
Verify the angulation and emergence profile of the abutment to ensure proper alignment with the prosthetic design. Make necessary minor adjustments to the crown or restoration.
Take a radiograph
Verify the proper placement of the abutment with a radiograph to confirm there are no gaps at the implant-abutment interface.
Soft tissue management
Ensure that the abutment adequately supports the gingival tissue and promotes healthy integration of the tissue.
If the SMART 1 Abutment and final crown were requested separately, cementation of restorations on SMART 1 Abutments requires attention to detail to achieve a secure bond and optimal aesthetics:
Clean the Abutment
Remove contaminants with an ultrasonic cleaner or alcohol rinse.
Try-In the Restoration
Check for fit, occlusion, and aesthetics before cementation.
Surface Preparation
For zirconia restorations, use a primer to enhance adhesion.
Cement Application
Apply resin cement evenly to the internal surface of the crown or bridge.
Final Setting
Seat the restoration with firm pressure and cure according to the cement manufacturer’s recommendations.
Dentists rarely need to adjust SMART 1 Abutments due to their precise fabrication using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology. These custom abutments are designed to fit perfectly and meet the specific needs of each case. However, the crowns or restorations placed over the abutments may occasionally require minor adjustments.
Titanium abutments provide superior strength and are ideal for posterior restorations and cases with high occlusal loads. They are highly durable, resistant to fracture, and support healthy tissue integration due to their biocompatibility.
On the other hand, zirconia abutments offer superior aesthetics and are recommended for anterior restorations or areas with high aesthetic demands. These abutments are an excellent option for patients with a thin gingival tissue biotype, as their tooth-like color prevents the inevitable graying effect that can occur with titanium abutments in these cases. While zirconia abutments are strong, they are best suited for areas where less force is applied and appearance is critical.
How do I send digital files to Burbank Dental Lab?
To send digital files, capture a detailed intraoral scan of the implant site, neighboring teeth, and gingival contours. Save the file in STL or another compatible format, and upload it through the online portal at the Burbank Dental Lab website. Ensure that all relevant case information, including design preferences, material selection, and shade details, is provided during submission. If you encounter any issues, the support team at Burbank Dental Lab is available to assist.
SMART 1 Abutments are designed to be compatible with most major implant systems, ensuring flexibility for a wide range of restorative needs. This compatibility makes them an excellent choice for practices with multiple implant brands. Consult Burbank Dental Lab for detailed information regarding your preferred system. Their adaptability ensures a streamlined workflow and reliable integration into your existing protocols.
Custom abutments provide a tailored fit for each case, ensuring optimal support for the prosthetic restoration. Unlike stock abutments, which have a one-size-fits-all approach, custom abutments are designed to match the patient’s specific angulation, emergence profile, and tissue contours. This customization improves aesthetics, promotes tissue integration, and enhances functionality. Custom abutments also minimize the need for adjustments, saving valuable chair time and ensuring more predictable outcomes.
