Routes
- 01
i-cement — cemented
Single crowns are cemented extraorally to avoid cement excess in the sulcus; intraoral cementation remains possible for bridgework.
- 02
i-connect — screw-retained
Splinted crowns, bridges and bars; compatible with the well-known multi-unit geometry, so common CAD/CAM framework workflows apply.
- 03
i-conometric — friction-retained
Cement-free seating of bridges with a 5° conical cap that compensates axial divergences, cold-welded at 15 Ncm.
- 04
i-ball and i-locator — removable
Retention of removable dentures; the retentive element is seated at 15 Ncm and the housing is polymerised into the denture base.
Options
| Component | Diameter | Gingival height | Angulation | Index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| i-cement | Ø4.0 · 5.0 · 6.5 mm | S · R · L | straight · 15° · 25° | indexed · non-indexed |
| i-connect | — | S · R · L (straight) · R · L (angled) | 0° · 17° · 35° | non-indexed (straight) · indexed / non-indexed (angled) |
| i-conometric cap | — | — | 0° · 15° | — |
| i-conometric abutment | Ø5.0 · 6.5 mm | S · R · L | straight only | — |
| i-ball | — | S | — | replaceable ball component |
| i-locator | — | S · R | — | “plug-in” ball option |
S = short, R = regular, L = long gingival height (Novodent product text).
Seating
All abutments are placed on the i-LiNQ® component one storey above the bone; no prosthetic step re-enters bone level. For i-connect and i-conometric restorations a two-step impression technique is recommended.
