Place a square-shaped piece of rubber dam (with a small hole punched in the center) around each titanium coping to protect the wound and sutures from acrylic material. Remove each titanium coping from the mouth. Reduce the height of each titanium coping as necessary using a titanium cutting disc or bur. Titanium copings can be attached to a BioHorizons analog handle* for easier handling. Place a rolled PTFE membrane material* in each titanium coping using a perio probe and cover with a small piece of wax to prevent acrylic from infiltrating the abutment screw. *Often referenced clinically as “Teflon® tape”. Place each Multi-unit titanium coping. Seat the denture in the mouth and verify 2-3mm clearance around each titanium coping. Further widen the holes as necessary. Use a marker to indicate where titanium copings need to be reduced to be 1mm below the denture surface.* *Adequate bone reduction reduces this need and makes the denture less prone to fracture. *Attach a straight Multi-unit abutment directly to the Analog Handle, then attach the titanium coping.
