Considerations
- Surgical and technical preferences on use
- Implant surgical instrumentation for the systems and similarities
- Procedures involved in the surgical stages
- Surgical and clinical/technical components and how these transfer to the laboratory
- Laboratory instrumentation and similarities and how these transfer to the laboratory
- Implant components
- Variation between the systems that can be useful for different rehabilitation scenarios
- Prosthetic retentive components
- Breadth of retention options
- User choice and preference
