The following is a brief overview of the steps involved in the Patent™ implant procedure:

•   Create a general plan for implant placement using basic implantology principles.

•   After analyzing the x-rays and intraoral conditions, you determine the necessary length and diameter of the implant.

•   The implant placement can be a flapless procedure with a soft-tissue punch. After preparing the osteotomy, you place the implant into the bone, with the transmucosal part resting on the crest of the bone.

•   Cement the glass fiber post into the implant’s integrated abutment, and prepare the core with high-speed cutting tools and water cooling.

•   Take an impression of the preparation.

•   Cement the final dental crown on the glass fiber post.
