As a supplier of Hiossen Tibase, I understand the importance of ensuring that our customers can effectively troubleshoot common problems they might encounter with this product. Hiossen Tibase is a well - regarded implant system, but like any medical device, it can face certain issues during its use. In this blog, I'll share some practical tips on how to troubleshoot these common problems.
Loose Abutments
One of the most frequently reported problems with Hiossen Tibase is loose abutments. A loose abutment can lead to discomfort for the patient and may even compromise the overall stability of the implant.
Possible Causes
- Incorrect Torque Application: When the abutment is initially installed, if the proper torque is not applied, it can gradually become loose over time. The recommended torque value for Hiossen Tibase abutments should be strictly followed during the installation process.
- Patient Habits: Patients with habits such as clenching or grinding their teeth can put excessive stress on the abutment, causing it to loosen.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check Torque: Use a torque wrench to measure the torque of the loose abutment. If it is below the recommended value, carefully tighten it to the appropriate torque. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions precisely.
- Assess Patient Habits: If patient habits are suspected to be the cause, consider providing the patient with a nightguard. A nightguard can help distribute the forces evenly and reduce the stress on the abutment.
Peri - implantitis
Peri - implantitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the tissues surrounding the implant. It can lead to bone loss and ultimately the failure of the implant if not treated promptly.
Possible Causes
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing around the implant can allow plaque and bacteria to accumulate, leading to inflammation.
- Implant Design or Placement Issues: Incorrect implant placement or a sub - optimal implant design can create areas where bacteria can easily accumulate.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Improve Oral Hygiene: Educate the patient on proper oral hygiene techniques. Recommend using a soft - bristled toothbrush, interdental brushes, and an antibacterial mouthwash. Encourage the patient to clean around the implant regularly.
- Professional Cleaning: Arrange for professional cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. They can use special instruments to remove plaque and tartar from around the implant.
- Evaluate Implant Design and Placement: If implant design or placement is suspected to be the cause, consult with a specialist. They can assess the situation and determine if any corrective measures are necessary, such as re - placing the implant.
Abutment Breakage
Abutment breakage can be a serious problem as it can disrupt the function and aesthetics of the implant.
Possible Causes
- Excessive Force: Similar to loose abutments, excessive force from clenching, grinding, or biting on hard objects can cause the abutment to break.
- Material Defects: In rare cases, there may be a defect in the abutment material itself.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Replace the Abutment: If the abutment is broken, it needs to be replaced immediately. Make sure to use a high - quality replacement abutment that is compatible with the Hiossen Tibase system. You can find suitable Castable Abutments and Temporary Abutment on our website.
- Assess Force Distribution: As with loose abutments, if excessive force is the cause, consider providing the patient with a nightguard or making adjustments to the patient's bite.
Inaccurate Scan Results
Accurate scan results are crucial for the proper design and fabrication of dental restorations. Inaccurate scan results can lead to ill - fitting restorations.
Possible Causes
- Scanbody Issues: A damaged or incorrectly placed scanbody can cause inaccurate scan results.
- Scanner Calibration: If the scanner is not properly calibrated, it can produce inaccurate data.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check the Scanbody: Inspect the scanbody for any damage. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one. You can find high - quality Dentium Peek Scanbody on our website. Make sure the scanbody is placed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Calibrate the Scanner: Follow the scanner manufacturer's instructions to calibrate the scanner regularly. This can help ensure accurate scan results.
Implant Mobility
Implant mobility is a concerning issue as it can indicate a problem with the osseointegration of the implant.
Possible Causes
- Early Loading: Loading the implant too early, before proper osseointegration has occurred, can lead to implant mobility.
- Bone Quality and Quantity: Poor bone quality or insufficient bone quantity at the implant site can also contribute to implant mobility.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Unload the Implant: If early loading is suspected to be the cause, remove the load from the implant. Allow more time for osseointegration to occur.
- Assess Bone Status: Consult with a specialist to assess the bone quality and quantity at the implant site. If necessary, consider bone grafting procedures to improve the bone support for the implant.
