Dr. Blume: In our practice we use it mainly for posterior single tooth replacement with transgingival healing. As a rule, prosthetic restoration is performed with screw- retained hybrid crowns, in other words, lithium disilicate ceramic crowns bonded to a titanium base. This concept is of high quality, both esthetically and functionally. The second main indication in our practice is the restoration of edentulous jaws with Locator ® Abutments, an indication for which this system is predestined. Where do you see the special advantages for prosthetically oriented dentists and possibly, dental technicians? Dr. Blume: The individual steps follow a logical concept and the components are exactly matched. From a prosthetic view, the system offers advantages. Also, the technical workflow is simple and yet precise. Following the extension to the system, the prosthetic design options have become more diversified. The digital process chain in dentistry is closing rapidly – can you foresee additional advantages for yourself and the use of iSy? Dr. Blume: Of course one can restore analog quite conventionally with iSy, but the implant is also fully CAD/CAM compatible. Same as with a model, it can be scanned intraorally and is available in most digital libraries. In general we take impressions the conventional way with polyether. Our lab scans the model, designs, mills and customizes the crowns or bridges. I think it is an up-to-date concept and allows achieving excellent results.
