Convert to Final - 4 Great Methods

Method 1 – Surgical RAPID Appliance

The RAPID Appliance is the simplest method of transferring CHROME records to ROE. During surgery, once the surgical prosthetic is picked up, a second set of temporary cylinders are connected to the MUA’s and a second tooth-colored appliance is picked up.

This second pick-up, called the RAPID, is held until the time of final restorative conversion. At that time, the surgical prosthesis is removed and the RAPID is seated, equilibrated, relined with PVS, and returned with a new bite and opposing, and photo. Ask ROE to fabricate a prototype for final, with your changes.

If the RAPID is very close to being a final prototype, then you can go to final. Could there be a simpler method of going to final? Certainly beats the 7 appointments with denture conversion.

Method 2 – iJIG

 iJIG is a patented and effective tool used to send full arch, verified implant records to ROE. iJIG provides implant position, tissue architecture, tooth position and bite, all in one appointment. Simply purchase iJIG scan analogs (scan flags) for just $22 apiece (reusable), screw them into the prosthetic and scan, along with the rest of the scans in the workflow document.

Simple process: With the existing prosthetic removed, make your first scan of the surgical arch, capturing the tissue and MUA’s (no scan bodies). Then, 360-scan the prosthesis with the scan bodies screwed in each site, outside the mouth in your fingers. Once scanned, re-seat the appliance and scan the opposing and bite. With these simple records, and full smile photographs, ROE will fabricate the iJIG and send to you to screw down, lute together like a verification jig, reline with PVS, if needed, and equilibrate to the perfect bite. Return with a new bite for the final prototype called the Printed Try-In. Check out our iJig Plus+, where making a simple model avoids this luting step!

This technology may blow you away!

Method 3 – Photogrammetry/Grammetry

 iJIG is a patented and effective tool used to send full arch, verified implant records to ROE. iJIG provides implant position, tissue architecture, tooth position and bite, all in one appointment. Simply purchase iJIG scan analogs (scan flags) for just $22 apiece (reusable), screw them into the prosthetic and scan, along with the rest of the scans in the workflow document.

Method 4 – Delayed RAPID

If a RAPID was not picked up during surgery, simple remove the surgery prosthetic from the mouth (or any prosthetic for that matter, not just from CHROME surgeries), screw down MUA replica model analogs, set them in stone with the prosthetic attached and let set.

Once set, simply mold lab putty over the prosthetic and let set. Once set, unscrew the prosthetic from the stone model, re-seat in the mouth, capture an opposing and bite, and return to ROE with the flask and a few smile photographs. With this information, ROE will return the RAPID Appliance for you to equilibrate, reline with PVS, and return for a prototype, or perhaps a final. This works with any full arch prosthetic on MUA’s…. a marvelous technique!
