Keep the bite registration material in place. Cover the intaglio surface of the immediate denture using bite registration material. Place the denture over the ridge and press down to register the cover caps. Hand-tighten the Multi-unit cover caps that came with the abutments using a .050” hex driver. Trim off any excess soft tissue and completely close the flap around the cover caps using an abundance of interrupted sutures from the midline to the posterior. Verify that bleeding is minimal as to not affect the subsequent impression steps. The surgical site is now ready for the TeethXpress immediate denture conversion. Seat the Multi-unit abutment hex in a posterior implant using the Multi-unit carrier and hand-tighten the abutment screw using the .050” hex driver. Remove the Multi-unit carrier and torque the abutment screw up to 30 Ncm*. Use an alveolar cutting bur to flatten divot areas around the angled implants and to smooth out sharp edges of the ridge. Use MinerOss cortical & cancellous bone chips to fill all voids created from the extractions. * May be necessary to hand tighten the Multi-unit abutment screw if the implant torque value was less than 30 Ncm.
