This manual applies to dental implants and associated surgical components.

Description: 3i Dental Implants are manufactured from biocompatible titaniumand titanium alloy. 3i Dental Implants include various surface treatments andcoatings. For specific product description and net quantity refer to individualproduct labels.

Indications for Use: 3i Dental Implants are intended for surgical placement in theupper or lower jaw to provide a means for prosthetic attachment in single toothrestorations and in partially or fully edentulous spans with multiple single teeth, oras a terminal or intermediary abutment for fixed or removable bridgework and toretain overdentures.

In addition, when a minimum of four dental implants ≥ 10mm in length, areplaced in the mandible and splinted in the anterior region, immediate loadingis indicated.

Contraindications: Placement of dental implants may be precluded by patientconditions that are contraindications for surgery. 3i Dental Implants should notbe placed in patients where the remaining jaw bone is too diminished to provideadequate implant stability.

Storage and Handling: Devices should be stored at room temperature. Refer toindividual product labels and this manual for special storage or handlingconditions.

Warnings: Excessive bone loss or breakage of dental implant may occur whenan implant is loaded beyond its functional capability. Physiological and anatomicconditions may negatively affect the performance of dental implants. This shouldbe taken into consideration when placing dental implants with the following:Poor bone qualityPoor oral hygieneMedical conditions such as blood disorders or uncontrolled hormonal conditions

Mishandling of small components inside the patients mouth carries a risk ofaspiration and/or swallowing.

Forcing the implant into the osteotomy deeper than the depth established by thedrills can result in: stripping the driver hex interface inside the implant, strippingthe driver, cold-welding of the mount-driver interface to the implant, or strippingthe walls of the osteotomy that may prevent an effective initial implant fixation.

Clinical data have demonstrated enhanced performance of OSSEOTITE Implantsas compared to other 3i Dental Implants in patients with poor quality bone.

Precautions: For safe and effective use of 3i Dental Implants and other surgicaldental accessories, these products or devices should only be used by trainedprofessionals. The surgical techniques required to properly utilize these devicesare highly specialized and complex procedures. Improper technique can lead toimplant failure, loss of supporting bone, restoration fracture, screw looseningand aspiration.

Sterility: All dental implants are supplied sterile and are sterilized by anappropriate validated method. Refer to individual product labels for sterilizationinformation; all sterile products are labeled ‘STERILE.’ All products sold sterileare for single use before the expiration date printed on the product label. Do notuse sterile products if the packaging has been damaged or previously opened.Do not re-sterilize or autoclave except where instructions to do so are providedon the product label, in this manual or in any additional marketing literature forthat product. Products provided non-sterile must be cleaned and sterilizedaccording to the directions found in ART630 or this manual prior to use.

Procedural Precautions, Surgery: During the planning phase it is important todetermine the vertical dimension, the actual space available between the alveolarcrest and the opposing dentition, in order to confirm that the available space willaccommodate the proposed abutment and the final crown restoration. Thisinformation varies with each patient and abutment; therefore it should becarefully evaluated before placing any dental implant. The final prosthesis shouldbe designed prior to the placement of the dental implant. Utilize continuousirrigation with a cool, sterile irrigating solution to avoid excessive damage to thesurrounding tissue and to prevent compromising osseointegration. This ismandatory during all procedures. Avoid excessive pressure during preparation ofthe bone site. As the drilling speed varies based on the instrument and thesurgical procedure, recommendations for speed can be found in this manual.Only sharp instruments of the highest quality should be used for any bonesurgical procedure. Minimizing trauma to the bone and surrounding tissueenhances the potential for successful osseointegration. In order to eliminatecontaminants and other sources of infection, all non-sterile devices should becleaned and/or sterilized prior to use, per the instructions on the individualproduct labels.

Potential Adverse Events: Potential adverse events associated with the use ofdental implants may include:- Failure to integrate- Loss of integration- Dehiscence requiring bone grafting- Perforation of the maxillary sinus, inferior border, lingual plate, labial plate,

inferior alveolar canal, gingiva- Infection as reported by: abscess, fistula, suppuration, inflammation,

radiolucency- Persistent pain, numbness, paresthesia- Hyperplasia- Excessive bone loss requiring intervention- Implant breakage or fracture- Systemic infection- Nerve injury

Caution: U.S. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of alicensed dentist or physician.

These instructions were designed to serve as a reference

guide for the dental practitioner to utilize 3i Implants and

surgical instruments to their maximum potential. 3i’s

Implant System was developed to meet the diverse needs

of the patient and to offer the practitioner a choice of

surgical techniques customized to meet each patient’s

individual requirements.

3i’s Unique Designs enable the practitioner to place implants

in edentulous or partially edentulous mandibles or maxillae in

order to serve as support abutments for fixed and removable

bridgework or single tooth crowns and to provide the

stabilization needed for securing overdentures. 3i’s System

uses proven surgical procedures to properly secure the

implant in the osseous tissue, thus achieving the

physiological phenomenon referred to as osseointegration.

General Information:

These instructions will instruct practitioners in the use

of 3i’s Implant Systems. The success of any dental implant

system depends upon proper use of the components and

instrumentation. This manual is not intended for use as a

substitute for professional training and experience.

Treatment Planning:

Patient Evaluation And Selection

Several important factors must be considered when

evaluating a patient prior to implant surgery. The presurgical

evaluation must include a cautious and detailed assessment

of the patient’s general health, current medical status,

medical history, oral hygiene, motivation and expectations.

Factors such as heavy tobacco use, chewing patterns and

alcohol consumption should also be considered. In addition,

the clinician should determine if the case presents an

acceptable anatomical basis conducive to implant placement.

An extensive intraoral examination should be undertaken to

evaluate the oral cavity for any potential bone or soft-tissue

pathology. The examiner should also determine the perio-

dontal status of the remaining teeth, the health of the soft

tissue, or the presence of occlusal abnormalities such as

bruxism or crossbite. The presence of other conditions

that could adversely affect any existing natural dentition

or healthy tissue surrounding the implant should also

be evaluated.

Diseases of the mucous membrane and connective tissues,

pathologic bone disease and severe malocclusion could

affect the determination of whether the patient is a suitable

implant candidate.

The use of anticoagulants and the existence of metabolic

diseases, such as diabetes, allergies, chronic renal or cardiac

disease and blood dyscrasia could significantly influence the

patient’s ability to successfully undergo implant procedures.

If the patient’s medical history reveals an existing condition

or signals a potential problem that may compromise treat-

ment and/or the patient’s well-being, consultation with a

physician is recommended.

Preoperative Planning

Radiographic Marking Balls (RMB30)

The vertical height of the bone is best determined

radiographically. Accurate measurement of the vertical

dimension on the radiograph facilitates the selection of the

appropriate implant length. This helps to avoid implant

placement into the maxillary sinus, the floor of the nose or the

mandibular canal and prevents perforation of the inferior aspect

of the mandible. Measurements can be made directly on the

panoramic radiograph using a millimeter ruler. Corrections

should be made for the degree of enlargement produced by the

particular radiographic equipment.

Radiographic marking balls of a known dimension can be

embedded in a plastic template prior to radiographic examination.

Once the radiograph is taken and the metal marking balls are

visible on the image, measurements can be taken to determine

the amount of bone available for implant placement.

To calculate the distortion factor, a simple formula can be

utilized: (5 ÷ A) x B = amount of actual bone available.

Formula Key =

• Radiographic marking ball = 5mm in diameter.

• A = Size of marking ball image on radiograph.

• B = Length in millimeters on the radiograph of available

bone between the crest of the ridge and the inferior

alveolar nerve canal.Example:

A = 6.5mmB = 14mmTherefore: (5 ÷ 6.5) x 14 = 10.76mm actual bone available

NOTE: A 2mm margin of safety, from the apical end ofthe implant to the adjacent vital structure, shouldbe considered.

Preoperative Planning:

Proper treatment planning, as well as the selection of the

proper implant length and diameter, are crucial to the long-

term success of the implant and restoration. Before an

implant can be selected, the anatomical foundation available

to receive the implant must be carefully assessed. Several

steps should be taken to complete the evaluation:

1. Clinical examination of the oral cavity can provide

important information about the health of the soft

tissue at the proposed implant site. Tissue tone and the

state of the superficial tissues should be evaluated. In

addition, the patient should demonstrate an adequate

dimension of attached mucosa or keratinized tissue at

the site selected for implantation. In partially edentulous

cases, the periodontal status of the remaining dentition

should be assessed and interaction between the implant

restoration and the adjacent natural dentition should

be considered.

2. The bony foundation and ridge need to be clinically

analyzed to ensure the presence of proper dimensions

and the amount of bone for implant placement. At least

one millimeter of bone should be present at the buccal and

lingual aspects of the implant following placement. During

the planning state, it is useful to measure the existing

bone foundation.

In its simplest form, top-down treatment planning refers

to a protocol whereby the desired restorative result is

considered first, leading to consideration of the ideal

prosthetic platform and subsequent implant selection

based on bony anatomy.

A top-down treatment planning methodology will provide

maximum biomechanical stability and allow for soft tissue

flaring by utilizing an implant with a prosthetic platform

slightly smaller in diameter than the emergence diameter of

the tooth being replaced. 3i’s wide selection of implants

allows clinicians to match the size of the prosthetic platform

to the restoration it will eventually support, while allowing

for different bone volumes and anatomical features at the

implant site. Implant and healing abutment selections are

based upon the relationship of several key measurements:

• The emerging dimension of the crown in relation to

the diameter of the prosthetic platform of the implant

• The height and diameter of the intended restoration

at the tissue exit point

• The bone volume at the implant site in relation to the

diameter of the implant body

The Emergence Profile (EP®) Healing Abutment System

consists of healing abutments of various diameters and

heights for shaping the soft tissue to replicate the geometry

and gingival contours of natural dentition.

Clinical Considerations

True bone contours can only be evaluated after tissue flaps

have been reflected at the time of surgery. Even if bone

dimensions are painstakingly measured prior to surgery, the

doctor and patient must accept the possibility that inadequate

bone anatomy might be discovered during surgery and

preclude implant placement.

During the presurgical planning phase, it is important to

determine the vertical dimension - the actual space available

between the alveolar crest and the opposing dentition - to

confirm that the available space will accommodate the

proposed abutment and the final crown restoration. The

height required by the abutment may vary with the type of

abutment; therefore, the surgeon and restorative dentist

should carefully evaluate the abutment size. The final

prosthesis should be designed prior to the placement of

the implant.

Study models should be used preoperatively to evaluate the

residual ridge and to determine the position and angulation

of all implants. These models allow the clinician to evaluate

the opposing dentition and its effect on the implant position.

A surgical guide stent, which is critical for determining the

precise position and angulation of the implant, can be

constructed on the study model.

To prevent damage to the bone tissue and to prevent

compromising osseointegration, abundant and continuous

irrigation with a cool, sterile, irrigating solution is mandatory

during all drilling procedures. The application of excessive

pressure during preparation of the bone site must be avoided.

Bone surgery utilizes a high-torque electric drilling unit

that can be operated in forward and reverse modes at speeds

ranging from 0 to 1500rpm, depending on the surgical

requirements. Sharp instruments of the highest quality

should be utilized during implant site preparation to reduce

possible overheating and trauma to the bone. Minimizing

trauma enhances the potential for successful osseointegration.

The time elapsed between surgical placement of the implant

and final abutment placement is referred to as the healing

period. Healing periods can vary or be modified, depending

on the quality of the bone at the implantation site, bony

response to the implant surface and other implanted materials

and the surgeon’s assessment of the patient’s bone density

at the time of the surgical procedure. Extreme care must be

taken to avoid excessive force being applied to the implant

during the healing period.

Single use drills/burs are supplied sterile and should be

properly disposed of after each procedure. Reusable

drills/burs and instrumentation are supplied nonsterile and

must be sterilized prior to use. Nonsterile items must be

removed from the packaging before sterilization.

Multiple sterilizations may affect the flow of fluid through

internally irrigated drills. The drills should be checked

following each sterilization cycle to determine if fluid flows

through the irrigation ports. Although the surgical drills are

constructed of stainless steel, these should be adequately

dried prior to packaging for sterilization and again after the

sterilization cycle.

To extend the useful life of 3i’s instruments, certain proce-

dures should always be followed:

Cleaning:

1. After use, place drills into a beaker of plain water,

mild soap or specialized cleaning solution.

2. Rinse with tap water for a minimum of two minutes

while brushing with a soft bristled brush to remove

visible debris. Clean the interior lumen with a thin wire

to remove any remaining debris.

3. Place instruments in an ultrasonic bath containing

enzymatic detergent for five minutes.* Scrub the

instruments again with a soft bristled brush and ream

interior lumen to remove any remaining debris.

4. Rinse and flush the instruments for one minute

using tap water.

5. Inspect visually for any remaining bone fragments or

debris and scrub as necessary.

Sterilization:

6. Remove the bur block from the surgical tray. Scrub the

surgical tray and block with a soft bristled brush and

mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.

7. Place the components into the surgical tray and pour

ethyl alcohol (do not use rubbing alcohol) over the burs

and tray to remove soap residue and minerals from the

water. This step is important to help prevent corrosion

and spotting. Let the components dry before wrapping.

8. Wrap the surgical tray in paper or autoclave-approved

bags twice to prevent a tear of the outer packaging from

contaminated instruments.

9. Steam gravity sterilize for forty minutes at a temperature

of 270–̊275˚F (132–̊135˚C).

Notes:

1. Multiple sterilizations may affect the flow of fluid

through internally irrigated burs. After each use, ream

the burs individually with wire to remove any bone

fragments or debris that will prevent the flow of water.

This is done prior to the sterilization cycle.

2. Do not remove drills, instrumentation or surgical tray

from the autoclave until the “dry cycle” is complete.

Very Important!

3. These guidelines DO NOT apply to the cleaning and

sterilization of your powered instrumentation.

Please follow your powered instrumentation

manufacturer’s instructions.

Please refer to ART630 for complete instructions on the

sterilization and care of stainless steel.

*ENZOL enzymatic detergent was used to validate this process, per the manufacturer’sdilution recommendation.

For Subcrestal Certain and External Hex implant placement,Drill to the drill depth mark that corresponds to the labeledimplant length.

A Countersink Drill is used when placing a 4mm diameterimplant subcrestally to prepare the bone to accept the coverscrew. Remember, for a 4mm diameter implant, the implantplatform is 4.1mm in diameter and the cover screw flares to4.5mm in diameter.

A Countersink Drill is generally not needed becausethe cover screw for the 4mm diameter implant willstay above the bone crest. It may be needed in hardbone due to the shape of the implant collar.

For Crestal Certain and External Hex implant placement, stopdrilling 1mm before the drill depth mark that corresponds tothe labeled implant length (1mm equals cover screw height).

Pick-Up And Delivery Of Implant Care must be taken when inserting the Implant PlacementDriver tip into the implant. A very low RPM must be used asyou approach the internal connection of the implant with thedriver tip to properly align the internal hex of the implant with the external hex of the driver. Press down firmly to engage theimplant securely.

NOTE: The Certain MicroMiniplant™ (3.25mm dia.) requires theuse of a dedicated MicroMiniplant Driver Tip (IMPDTS orIMPDTL) that is marked with a purple band on the shank. Theinternal hex configuration of the MicroMiniplant is smaller thanthe standard Certain Internal Hex Connection (4, 5 and 6mmdiameter implants). The item numbers can be identified on theside of the driver tip.

Pick-Up And Delivery Of Cover Screw Or Healing AbutmentThe 0.048 inch tip of the Certain Implant Placement Driver can be used to pick up and place the cover screw or thehealing abutment.

NOTE: When using the Internal Connection Implant Driver(IIPDTS or IIPDTL), reduce the torque setting on the drillingunit to 10Ncm.

The cover screw replica portion of the driver allows for visualverification of the cover screw position, making subcrestaland crestal placement of the implant predictable.

NOTE: Periodic O-Ring replacement is required for the CertainDriver Tips.

Due to the geometrical differences that exist between atapered and a parallel walled implant, there are severalimportant technique adjustments that are required.

In all tapered implant placement procedures, the surgeonshould determine the appropriate vertical position of theimplant (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal) at the timeof osteotomy preparation. The surgeon should preparethe tapered osteotomy so that when the implant is fullyseated, the implant seating surface is at the desiredposition. The OSSEOTITE NT Depth Indicators (NTDI) weredesigned to confirm OSSEOTITE NT Implant position priorto seating the implant. After preparation of the osteotomywith the final shaping drill, suction out the osteotomy toremove debris. Select the corresponding NTDI and placethe tapered end into the osteotomy. Check the platformposition (crestal or subcrestal) of the NTDI in relation tothe adjacent bone. This position locates where the platformof the OSSEOTITE NT Implant will be positioned whenproperly placed. If during placement with the power drill,the OSSEOTITE NT Implant platform is higher in relation tothe bone than was the NTDI platform, the clinician shouldconsider using a hand ratchet to complete the implantplacement so that the tapered portion of the implant bodyconforms correctly with the tapered portion of theosteotomy (Figure 1. Proper Subcrestal Placement).

Over Preparing the osteotomy depth and then placing theimplant at a crestal level may result in a conical spacearound the apical and coronal aspects of the taperedimplant with minimal thread engagement (Figure 2. OverPrepared Subcrestal Placement). This placement positionmay result in decreased implant to osteotomy contact, withcontact occurring only along the parallel coronal portion ofthe implant, resulting in decreased stability of the implant.

Under Preparing the osteotomy depth and then placing theimplant more apical relative to the prepared depth mayresult in increased pressure along the tapered portion ofthe osteotomy and on the collar contact areas of theimplant profile (Figure 3. Under Prepared SubcrestalPlacement), which may result in pressure necrosis of thesurrounding bone. The clinician may consider undersizingthe osteotomy in extremely soft bone density (e.g. Type IV).

What Are The Features Of The New Quad Shaping Drills?

• The depth references on the QSD Drills are ledges or stepsand the hub has been eliminated. The hubless featureimproves access and flow of external irrigation.

• The QSD Drills have four flutes to improve cutting efficiencyand reduce drill chatter.

• The QSD Drills have end cutting capability.

• The QSD Drill design eliminates laser lines, producing a drillthat is more resistant to corrosion in those areas.

• The operating speed for the QSD Drills is 1200–1500rpmto correspond to the speed of other drills used during theprocedure (such as the Round Bur and Initial Twist Drill).

*Gingival Depth Marks - These depth marks are not used in thesurgical procedure covered in this manual.

Shaping Drill Speed:

Quad Shaping Drills should operate between 1200–1500rpm.

Quad Shaping Drills cut efficiently; reducing the downwardforce will allow the drill to cut without chatter.

Shaping Drill Technique:

• For either crestal or subcrestal implant placement, drill tothe top of either the crestal or subcrestal depth landmarkson the Quad Shaping Drill (full depth - see illustration).

• Do not pump the shaping drill as you might pump a twistdrill when creating the osteotomy. The shaping drill shouldbe advanced once to full depth, then be removed withoutany pumping action.

• Once the shaping drill has reached full depth, pull it out ofthe site without running the drill. If the drill does not pullout easily, tap the foot pedal while pulling out. In additionto preserving the integrity of the osteotomy site, thistechnique maximizes autogenous bone recovery from theshaping drill flutes.

• When placing an OSSEOTITE NT® Implant into softerType IV Bone, the surgeon should consider undersizingthe osteotomy by one shaping drill size (i.e. if placing anOSSEOTITE NT 5mm diameter X 10mm length implant inType IV Bone, stop at the 4mm diameter X 10mm lengthshaping drill and directly place the implant). For moredetailed information on implant placement in soft bone,please refer to page 59 of this manual.

• It is recommended that the clinician should tap theosteotomy when placing an OSSEOTITE NT Implant intoharder Types I and II Bone.

The Quad Shaping Drills have been designed with geometricaldepth landmarks to assess proper depth rather than laseretched markings. The clinician should become familiar withthese depth landmarks to prevent over or under preparationof the osteotomy site.

NOTE: During preparation of the osteotomy, the shaping drillshould advance into the osteotomy using light pressure. Theneed to push heavily on the shaping drill may indicate theneed to replace the shaping drill, the need to tap or that theprevious drill depth was inadequate.

The OSSEOTITE NTDepth Indicators are used to simulate theimplant platform position prior to placing the implant.

OSSEOTITE NT ®

Depth Indicator (NTDI)Introduction

When using the NTDI, verify the osteotomy is clear of bonedebris.

Verify the NTDI platform position in reference to the crest ofthe bone. (This also verifies the depth of the osteotomy thathas been created) The NTDI platform should be at the levelyou desire the implant platform to attain. If the NTDI platformis too high versus the desired position, then re-drilling to theappropriate depth is required. If the NTDI platform is too deepversus the desired position, this indicates some degree ofosteotomy over preparation has taken place. To ensure properengagement of the implant, it must be seated to the depthdemonstrated by the NTDI. A longer implant can be considered.The clinician may consider verifying the position of the NTDIwith a radiograph.

When placing the implant, the implant platform should reachthe same position that the NTDI platform previously attained.If the implant platform is positioned higher in relation to thecrest of the bone than the platform of the NTDI previouslydemonstrated, then final hand ratcheting of the implant intothe osteotomy is required. If the surgical motor stalls priorto full placement of the implant due to insufficient torquegeneration, the clinician should consider hand ratchetingfor final positioning.

These guidelines will help ensure good bone-to-implantcontact and primary stability of the implant.

8.5mmOsteotomy

13mmOsteotomy

11.5mmOsteotomy

When placing an OSSEOTITE NT Implant in dense (Types I andII) bone, the clinician should consider tapping the osteotomyprior to implant placement.

EP® Healing Abutments A Bone Profiling Pin, Bone Profilers and corresponding EPBone Profilers are available to contour the bone that is toreceive the EP Healing Abutment. These tools are especiallyhelpful in a single-stage surgical protocol when the implant isplaced subcrestally.

If the implant is placed subcrestally and use of an EP HealingAbutment is indicated, the coronal aspect of the osteotomymust be prepared to receive the flare of the EP HealingAbutment.

NOTE: Non-EP, straight healing abutments and impression copings are available if bone profiling is not preferred at eitherstage one or stage two surgery.

OSSEOTITE Certain® Two-Piece Bone Profiling Pin (IBPGP)The OSSEOTITE Certain Implant requires a dedicated BoneProfiling Pin, which is used with the existing EP BoneProfilers. This new two-piece design allows the pin to engagethe internal hex of the implant. The hex engagement preventsthe pin from tightening into the implant during profiling, making it easy to remove. Lubricating the top of the pin withan appropriate lubricant, such as tetracycline ointment,is recommended. Do not exceed 50rpm when using BoneProfilers Pins.

Surgical IndexingOSSEOTITE® Implants

Surgeon 1. For surgical implant placement of a 3i Implant, follow

normal protocol as described in the previous sections.

Surgical Indexing2. A surgical index may be made at stage one or stage two

to facilitate the fabrication of a provisional restoration.This can be accomplished by using a Pick-UpImpression Coping or a Hexed Temporary Cylinder withretention and a waxing screw and a medium-to-heavybody impression material.

Creating A Surgical Index3. Select the proper Pick-Up Impression Coping by

matching the diameter of the implant platform.

Activate the fingers using the QuickSeat® ActivatorTool. Place the Pick-Up Impression Coping or theTemporary Cylinder into the implant, line up the hexand press firmly until feeling the tactile click.

Place the Pick-Up Impression Coping or theTemporary Cylinder on the implant and engage the hex.

Thread the Pick-Up Impression Coping Screw or waxingscrew into the implant until finger tight. Tighten thescrew using the Large Hex Driver.

4. If a flapless surgery is performed or if the index is madeat stage two surgery, radiograph the interface to verifycomplete seating of the coping on the implant. Place thefilm perpendicular to the interface of the coping on theimplant.

5. Syringe a medium-to-heavy body impression materialaround the impression coping or temporary cylinderand over the occlusal surfaces of the adjacent teethapproximately 1.5 teeth on either side. Allow theimpression material to set per the manufacturer’sinstructions. Once the material has set, remove theimpression coping screw or waxing screw using theLarge Hex Driver. Remove the surgical index from themouth. Send the index to the restorative clinician so itmay be included in the package to the laboratory.

6. Select a healing abutment by matching the implantplatform, preferred EP® diameter and collar height. Thecollar height should be selected by measuring from theimplant platform to the highest crest of the gingivaltissue and add 1mm.
