T6 and T6 Torq cast abutments

The NucleOSS Dental Implant System is an in-bone dental implant system with dental implants and related abutments, healing caps and surgical instruments. It is compatible with T6 and T6 Torq Superstructures, T6 and T6 Torq Dental Implants and the T6 and T6 Torq Surgical Set. Failure situations that may occur as a result of use with different systems may harm the patient. The product label gives the product code, specification and production date.

The system offers dentists a wide range of superstructure options for different purposes, including cemented, screwed, customised and removable prostheses, CAD-CAM solutions and scan bodies, as well as auxiliary prosthetic parts and temporary parts.

Abutments are placed on dental implants to provide support for prosthetic reconstructions such as crowns or bridges. See the catalogue for the superstructures compatible with the platform diameter and length of the abutments.

Each superstructure package has a lot number on it, and there are three lot number labels inside each body pack. For retrospective traceability, it is strongly recommended that these labels are kept in the patient’s file together with the panoramic X-ray.

Intended use: NucleOSS T6 and T6 Torq Dental Implant Systems are designed for use in dentistry. NucleOSS abutments and prosthetic parts are medical devices used to support mandibular and/or maxillary crown-bridge or superstructures in patients with total or partial prosthesis indications.

Indications: NucleOSS T6 and T6 Torq superstructures are prefabricated prosthetic components directly connected to endoosseous dental implants and are intended to be used as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.

Target patient population: people with adult jaw structure where none of the contraindications for dental implantation apply. Target users: dentists licensed in dentistry.

Cast abutments of the NucleOSS Dental Implant System are produced from Grade-23 Titanium alloy according to the ISO 5832-3 standard and are sold non-sterile. The CoCr Cast Abutment is produced from Cobalt chrome alloy (CoCr) compatible with international standards such as ISO 5832-12 and ASTM F1537. It must be sterilised before use by the end user.

The symbols include “contains hazardous substances”, marked 7440-48-4 Co.

Observance of precautions and warnings ensures safe handling and application.

• Use of the NucleOSS brand and sale of NucleOSS Dental Abutment System products are restricted to NucleOSS and its business partners.
• All models in the NucleOSS Dental Abutment system (T6, T6 TORQ) should be applied according to NucleOSS Surgical and Prosthetic protocols.
• It should be kept out of the reach of children.
• The abutment suitable for the patient’s oral structure should be used with the appropriate dental implant.
• The patient should be informed before and after the surgical operation.
• Abutments with damaged packaging should not be used.
• Make sure that the patient’s health condition is suitable for the operation.
• Abutments are sold as non-sterile. Before use, they must be sterilised by the user as specified in the instructions for use.
• Previously used abutments cannot be reused.

• The clinician should take the abutments from the laboratory and remove the temporary restorations, closure screws or healing caps from the patient’s mouth.
• After cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising the prosthetic parts from the laboratory, the clinician should apply them to the patient’s mouth by tightening them with a tightening piece according to the specified torques.
• If the superstructures are tightened more or less than the specified torque values, it may cause the abutments and/or implants to fail.
• The appropriate torque values for the use of superstructures are in the torque table (see the tightening torques section).

If the following warnings and precautions are not observed, complications may occur, such as the part entering the windpipe or swallowing the part.

During the placement of the product, the dentist and auxiliary personnel must use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the risk of interpersonal infection. The procedure should not be performed without gloves and masks.

For dental technicians:

• When polishing the abutments, it should be ensured that the part entering the implant is protected, or this process should be performed with the abutment attached to the implant analogue.
• The abutment should be placed on the model by checking the correct orientation and making sure that it is fully seated.
• The abutment must be fixed with the abutment screw provided and tightened in accordance with the torque value given in the torque value table.
• After this stage, the prosthesis suitable for the treatment should be created and the prosthesis should be removed from the model with the help of the correct hex key.

Before surgery: clinical and radiological examination of the patient should be performed preoperatively to determine whether the patient is suitable for treatment and to determine his/her psychological and physical condition.

Special attention should be paid to patients with localised or systemic factors that may interfere with the bone or soft tissue healing process or the osseointegration process (e.g. smoking, poor oral hygiene, uncontrolled diabetes, facial radiotherapy, infections in the lateral tooth or bone, bisphosphonate therapy).

The device has not been evaluated in paediatric/adolescent patients and is not recommended for use in children.

Surgery: all components, devices and instruments used during the procedure must be kept in good condition and care must be taken to ensure that the instrumentation does not damage implants, superstructures or other components.

Following implant placement, the surgeon’s assessment of bone quality and primary stability determines when the implants can be loaded. The choice of superstructure and the time of application should be evaluated.

NucleOSS superstructures are medical devices that do not require installation. It is strongly recommended that specialists who will use NucleOSS superstructures for the first time receive training from NucleOSS. Users who need more information can contact NucleOSS dealers or representatives, or NucleOSS by e-mail at info@nucleoss.com.

After surgery: to ensure a long-term treatment outcome, it is recommended to ensure regular comprehensive patient follow-up after implant treatment and to provide the necessary information on proper oral hygiene.

The clinical outcome of dental treatment can be influenced by many variables. Possible residual risks and side effects may occur during or after the operation.

• Pain, swelling, phonetic difficulties, gingivitis.
• Dental implants, permanent paresthesia, dysesthesia, marginal bone loss, localised or systemic infections, oroantral or oronasal fistula, disruption of adjacent teeth, irreversible damage to adjacent teeth, implant fractures in the jaw, bone or prosthesis, nerve damage, exfoliation, chronic pain associated with hyperplasia, implant failure, fractures in the neck area where the implant and abutment meet, screw loosening or fracture, abutment fracture, abutment compression into the implant.

The torque table for superstructures covers several component types, not only cast abutments. The cast abutment screws fall under “All Universal Cast Screws” (Max. 30 Ncm). In the procedure, the long abutment screw or connection screw is tightened to a maximum of 30 Ncm with the NucleOSS torque rack.

Caution: applying torque higher than the recommended torque may result in failure of the abutment and/or implant. Less than the recommended torque may result in loosening of the abutment, which may result in abutment and/or implant failure.

The system is compatible with T6 and T6 Torq Superstructures, T6 and T6 Torq Dental Implants and the T6 and T6 Torq Surgical Set. References: a laboratory screw (16007) used with the CoCr cast abutment, and two Basic UDI-DI numbers.

NucleOSS T6 and T6 Torq superstructures are not sterile when delivered. The product must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised before the superstructures are placed in the patient’s mouth. All superstructures of the system are offered for sale as non-sterile and must be sterilised before use by the end user.

1. Wash the superstructures inside and outside with a soft bristle brush under running water.
2. Disinfect the superstructures with a suitable disinfectant that will not damage the titanium alloy (Gr 23), PEEK and Chrome-Cobalt material.
3. Before sterilisation, place the superstructures separately in sterilisation bags.

• After sterilisation, the products must be used immediately.
• A minimum valid sterilisation time and temperature is required to achieve a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶.
• Note: the sterilisation parameters and methods shown are validated by NucleOSS Dental Implants. According to EN ISO 17665, the ultimate responsibility for the validation of sterilisation techniques and equipment is directly associated with the processor. All autoclaves/sterilisers must be maintained and validated in accordance with EN ISO 17665.
• Please refer to the implant user manual for implant sterilisation information.

Non-clinical testing has shown that the NucleOSS Dental Implant System is “Conditional MR”. The patient can be safely scanned with this device immediately after placement under the following conditions:

• 1.5-Tesla and 3-Tesla magnetic static field
• 4,000-gauss/cm (40 T/m) dimensional gradient magnetic field
• Maximum reported MR system average specific absorption rate (SAR) for the body 2-W/kg

Improper storage may jeopardise the basic material and design characteristics and may cause the device to malfunction.

Disposal of the device must comply with local regulations and environmental requirements, taking into account different levels of contamination. Hazardous waste from contaminated devices or sharps must be disposed of in appropriate containers that meet specific technical requirements.

• The patient should be informed about contraindications, warnings, precautions, side effects and complications of NucleOSS dental implant systems.
• There is no residue, leakage or harmful residue on the surface of the device that could harm the user or the patient.
• The patient should be informed about the MRI compatibility of the NucleOSS products used.
• The surgical site should be kept clean before and after the operation, and the patient should be well informed about its cleanliness.
• The area where the implant and superstructure are placed should not be exposed to load with chewing movement in the early period.
• For detailed information, refer to the Patient Information Booklet (https://www.nucleoss.com/hastaya-ozel/).

• Step 4. After the casting cap is placed on the support, cutting is done on the casting cap based on the teeth on the side. A wax model is made on the cut casting kebab.

• Step 5. The long connection screw (for universal Ti-base casting abutments) / laboratory screw (for CoCr casting abutments) is removed, and the created wax model is sent to the casting process.

• Step 9. Finally, the procedure is completed by filling the screw hole on the prosthesis.

Once the NucleOSS abutment is secured to the implant with the specified torque, it should not be removed.

Caution: applying torque higher than the recommended torque may result in failure of the abutment and/or implant. Less than the recommended torque may result in loosening of the abutment, which may result in abutment and/or implant failure.

This procedure should be considered a minimum guideline; details are in the NucleOSS Surgical Manual (https://www.nucleoss.com/kaynaklar/download/).

Patients can expect to have one or more missing teeth replaced and/or crowns restored to restore chewing function as a benefit of treatment.
