Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, has announced availability of the Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System in the United States.

Created to minimize the challenges faced by clinicians and labs, this new system aims to promote simple, immediate, and convenient posterior restorations.

The Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System includes the new titanium Hex-Lock Short Abutment and corresponding Short Restorative Components, designed to address a myriad of challenges presented to clinicians and labs during the posterior restoration process. This includes limited interocclusal space, reduced visibility, and prep work.

With the Hex-Lock Short Abutment's reduced cone height, predetermined margins, and off-the-shelf convenience, chair and preparation times can be = reduced.

The Restorative System provides snap-on caps for easier abutment level impression taking, and prefabricated copings for immediate provisionalization and final crown preparation.

Because the restorative protocol is the same as Zimmer Dental's Hex-Lock Contour Abutment System, no additional learning curve is required, With color-coding to match the emergence profiles, customers have a system that is simple, immediate, and convenient.

The Hex-Lock Short Abutment and Restorative System is ideal for single- and two-stage protocols, and is designed to work with the Tapered Screw-Vent and Screw-Vent Implant Systems.
