Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the 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, all-inclusive system promotes 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, innovatively designed to address a myriad of challenges presented to clinicians and labs during the posterior restoration process, including limited interocclusal space, reduced visibility, and time-consuming 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 significantly reduced. The all-inclusive Restorative System provides snap-on caps for easier abutment level impression taking, and prefabricated copings for immediate provisionalization and final crown preparation — all in the name of optimum efficiency.

Because the restorative protocol is the same as Zimmer Dental’s Hex-Lock Contour Abutment System, no additional learning curve is required, and 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 seamlessly with the popular Tapered Screw-Vent® and Screw-Vent® Implant Systems.
