The TIB Abutments are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation. The TIB abutments consist of two major parts. Specifically, the titanium base and mesostructure components make up a two-piece abutment. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: Scan files from desktop scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.
The intended use for the TiB narrow abutments used with the 03.0 mm External hex and 03.0 mm Deep Conical implants is limited to replacement of maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
