Clinical Guidelines for Hiossen EK Implant System

5.1 Complete replacement of implants (revision surgery)

If the original implant has failed, the EK implant should be used for re implantation after removal, and the repair should wait for bone healing before proceeding.

It is recommended to use EK bone level implants and SA surface to promote osseointegration.

5.2 Use compatible base station (third-party)

At present, there are third-party compatible base stations designed for EK connections on the market (such as Medentika, DESS, etc.), but compatibility needs to be confirmed as using original accessories is safer.

5.3 Component Repair Upgrade

If the original system has an external hexagonal structure, can we consider using EK's Hex adaptive base station? No, the internal threads and taper are different. The best solution is to directly select the EK system during the initial diagnosis.

Interpretation of surgical and repair toolkits

The EK system provides a variety of surgical tool boxes, including:

OneGuide Kit: A digital guide tool box that supports guide surgery.

122 Tape Kit: Comes with a 122 cone implant (model HK122TPK).

485 Kit: Surgical tools that come with 485 series implants.

Core tools:

1.2 Hex Hand Driver: A manual wrench used to tighten all repair screws.

1.2 Hex Torque Driver: Torque wrench (recommended 30 Ncm).

Rigid Outer Driver: Used to connect drill bits or abutments.

Preventive maintenance and follow-up recommendations

Regularly take X-rays after surgery to check the bone level and abutment tightness of the implant neck.

Annual review of screw torque: Use a torque wrench to re tighten to 30 Ncm.

Clean the area around the implant: Use a titanium scraper or plastic scraper to avoid scratching the surface of the abutment.

Replace Locator gasket: Replace it every 6-12 months to prevent a decrease in retention force.

Digital data archiving: Save STL files after each mold is taken for easy post production of new restorations.
