Restoring a 5.1mm Endure (3M) implant?

Last Updated: Jul 05, 2016

I have inherited an unrestored 5.1x 11mm Endure implant which was placed by another dentist in approximately 2010. The implant has been discontinued by 3M. I cannot find information about the torque required for the final abutment screw. Does anybody know where I can go for further information or a website with documentation stating the required torque value??

Thank you for commenting. 3M seems in the dark about this implant as it was discontinued some years ago. Maybe I will have to contact them again though...

Endure components are available from a company in Italy. A company in South Africa GH Dental stocks them and can give information on it.

Torque setting is 25-30 N/cm for sure. Endure implant parts are very hard to get. However there is a guy named Victor Bianchi that used to deal in those parts.
