Cautions: General: One hundred percent implant success cannot be guaranteed. In particular, non-observance of the product’s indications for use and the surgical/handling procedure(s) may result in failure. Close cooperation between surgeon, restorative dentist and dental laboratory technician is essential for a successful implant treatment It is strongly recommended that Nobel Biocare reusable instruments and components are only used other compatible Nobel Biocare instruments and components. Use of instruments and/or components that are not intended to be used in combination with Nobel Biocare reusable instruments and components can lead to product failure, damage to tissue, or unsatisfactory esthetic results. When using a new device/treatment method for the first time, working with a colleague who is experienced with the new device/treatment method may help avoid possible complications. Nobel Biocare has a global network of mentors available for this purpose. Before Surgery: Careful psychological and physiological evaluation, followed by clinical and radiological examination must be performed on the patient prior to surgery to determine the suitability of the patient for treatment. TPL 410098 000 04
Special attention must be given to patients who have local or systemic factors that could interfere with the healing process of either bone or soft tissue or the osseointegration process (e.g., cigarette smoking, poor oral hygiene, uncontrolled diabetes, oro-facial radiotherapy, steroid therapy, infections in the neighboring bone). Special caution is advised in patients who receive bisphosphonate therapy. The device has not been evaluated in pediatric/adolescent patients and is not recommended for use in children. Routine treatment is not recommended until the end of the juvenile jaw bone growth phase has been properly documented. Pre-operative hard tissue or soft tissue deficits may yield a compromised esthetic result or unfavorable implant angulations. All components, instruments and tooling used during the clinical or laboratory procedure must be maintained in good condition and care must be taken that instrumentation does not damage implants or other components. At Surgery: Care and maintenance of sterile instruments are crucial for a successful treatment. Sterilized instruments not only safeguard your patients and staff against infection but are also essential for the outcome of the total treatment.
Figure A: Placement of All-On-4 Guide in the First (Ø 2 mm) Osteotomy 4. Proceed with drilling the two posterior sites using the guide to verify the correct angulation (Figure B).
Because of the small sizes of the devices, care must be taken that they are not swallowed or aspirated by the patient. It is appropriate to use specific supporting tools to prevent aspiration of loose parts (e.g. a throat shield). Overtightening of implant may lead to damage of the implant, fracture or necrosis of the bone site. If a Surgical Driver is used to insert the implant, special care needs to be taken to avoid over tightening. After Surgery: To help ensure a successful long term-treatment outcome, it is advised to provide comprehensive regular patient follow up after implant treatment and to inform the patient about appropriate oral hygiene.

Brush the inner surfaces, lumina and cavities (where applicable) with appropriately sized bottle brush (e.g. 1.2 mm/2.0 mm/5.0 mm diameter) for a minimum of 10 seconds until all visible soil is removed. 5. Thoroughly rinse the outer surfaces and lumina of the device with cold running tap water for a minimum of 10 seconds to remove all cleaning solution. 6. Immerse the device in an ultrasonic bath (e.g. Bandelin; frequency 35 kHz; effective ultrasonic power 300 W) containing 0.5% enzymatic cleaning agent (e.g. Cidezyme ASP) and treat for a minimum of 5 minutes at minimum 40°C (104°F)/maximum 45°C (113°F). 7.
Flush the inner surfaces, lumina and cavities (where applicable) with 20 ml lukewarm tap water using an irrigation needle connected to a 20 ml syringe.
8. Thoroughly rinse the outer surfaces of the devices with purified or sterile water for a minimum of 10 seconds to remove all cleaning agent. 9. Dry with compressed air or clean and lint-free single use wipes. Visual Inspection: After cleaning and drying, inspect the device for unacceptable deterioration such as corrosion, discoloration, pitting, cracked seals and properly dispose any devices that fail the inspection. Sterilization: The following steam sterilizers were used in the Nobel Biocare validation: Systec HX-320 (pre-vacuum cycle); Amsco Century Sterilizer (gravity cycle).
Note: Autoclave/sterilizer design and performance can affect the efficacy of the sterilization process. Healthcare facilities should therefore validate the processes that they use, employing the actual equipment and operators that routinely process the devices. All autoclaves/ sterilizers should comply with the requirements of, and be validated, maintained and checked in accordance to SN EN 13060, EN 285, EN ISO 17665-1, and/or AAMI ST79, or to the applicable national standard. The autoclave/sterilizer manufacturer's instructions for use must be strictly followed.
