    Complete denture replicas in moldable clear resin for use in implant diagnosis, treatment planning and placement that can be fabricated and fit in one visit

Instructions

  • InstaStent - Step 1

    Step 1: Select Stent

      1. Choose appropriate base size
      2. Choose tooth mold
  • InstaStent - Step 2

    Step 2: Heat and Mold Stent

    Immerse stent in hot water (160-170°F) for approximately three minutes, until it becomes moldable

    Note: increasing water temperature increases moldability

  • InstaStent - Step 3

    Trim with scissors or burr
  • InstaStent - Step 4

    Step 4: Select Location and Place Radiographic Markers

      1. Using a round burr, drill holes in desired implant locations
      2. Place radiographic markers in holes (use wax to stabilize them if necessary)
  • InstaStent - Step 5

    Step 5: Diagnosis and Treatment planning

    Utilize the radiograph taken with The InstaStent in place to determine the proper implant type, size and location
  • InstaStent - Step 6

    Step 6: Convert Radiographic Stent to a Surgical Guide

      1. Remove radiographic markers (refill holes with cold cure acrylic if necessary)
      2. Select appropriate size straight burr
      3. Using burr drill a channel guide completely through the stent in the desired location, direction and angle for implant placement

Remember…

  • Radiographic and surgical stents are helpful and necessary components of any proper and thorough implant case diagnosis and treatment plan.

    Two of the primary reasons for implant case failures are inadequate diagnosis and treatment planning. Which in turn often leads to improper fixture placement.

    Failed implant cases are one of the major reasons for dental malpractice litigation today. In the event of such litigation, not having used a radiographic and surgical stent can be a major problem for the Dentist

    The MiraDent InstaStent & Surgical Guide is so beneficial, easy and economical to use… Why take that risk?
