Tools Needed:

  • Torque wrench (implant brand specific)

  • Angled screw channel (ASC) driver (implant brand specific)

  • Colored Teflon tape: for easy identification of ASC screws

Instructions:

  1. Engage ASC Driver: Attach ASC driver to the ASC screw.

  2. Torque the Restoration: Screw down and torque the restoration to the manufacturer's suggested value (implant brand specific). [Typically 30 N-cm for compatible ASC]

  3. Use Colored Teflon Tape: Insert colored Teflon tape into the screw channel before sealing the access hole with composite. This prevents composite from covering the screw head.

Note: Torque wrench, ASC driver, and torque value may vary by implant brand. Consult your implant system representative for specific tools and guidance.
