Berlin, July 2016: The EADT Expert Discussion 2016 will take place in October 2016 in collaboration with the FZT (Fachgesellschaft für Zahntechnik). Specialists from universities, practice and laboratories will define validated workflows and develop a current EADT statement.
Dental preparation and cleaning procedures for implant abutments
The clinically necessary and practically sensible preparation and cleaning procedures of implant abutments before use in the patient's mouth are currently being hotly debated. By definition, abutments are medical devices and form the transition from the implant through the peri-implant soft tissue into the oral cavity. Before use, a risk assessment should therefore be carried out and an assessment should be made as to whether the implant abutments are classified as semi-critical (contact with mucous membrane) or critical (penetration of skin or mucous membrane and in contact with blood or blood) in accordance with the guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). . internal tissues).
The EADT eV 2016 expert discussion is dedicated to current questions from everyday dental laboratory life. Based on scientific research results, a current statement from the EADT in collaboration with the FZT is to be defined on a validated process for the post-processing and cleaning of individual implant prosthetic components. The aim is to provide the dental technician with a practical and reproducible workflow for achieving a highly pure abutment with a surface that corresponds to the optimal roughness value and is recognized according to general guidelines.
