Rescue manual / implant retrieval
Basic procedure
The Implant Retrieval Instrument may be used to remove an
implant where the implant connection has been damaged
and the ordinary implant driver cannot be used to remove it.
In situations where the implant cannot be removed with
the Implant Retrieval Instrument alone, due to strong osseointegration or other factors, refer to the advanced procedure
on page 8.
Note: The Implant Retrieval Instrument is a single-use instrument for one patient and one surgical treatment only.
General precautions / warnings:
– Do not use the Implant Retrieval Instrument for any purpose
other than the removal of Nobel Biocare implants with
internal conical connection, tri-channel connection or external hex connection.
– It is strongly recommended that the implant retrieval instruments only be used with Nobel Biocare related implant and
surgical instruments as combining components with different dimensions can lead to mechanical and/or instrument
failure or damage the tissue.

Rescue manual / implant retrieval
Advanced procedure
In situations where an implant cannot be removed with the
Implant Retrieval Instrument, due to strong bone integration
or other factors, trephine drills may be used to remove bone
around the implant in order to remove the damaged implant.
It may not be possible to immediately place an implant after
using a Trephine Drill due to the size of the resulting hole
and/or other factors.
1 Select Trephine Drill
– Select appropriate Trephine Drill based on implant diameter
according to laser-marking.
– The Trephine Drill selected should have an inner diameter
slightly exceeding the outer diameter of the implant.
– If the implant type is known, select the appropriate Trephine
Drill based on the implant connection / prosthetic interface
from the instrument selection guide on page 5.
– If implant type is not known, the implant diameter must first
be determined using standard imaging techniques.
Note: Trephine drill depth markings are in true millimeters.
Warning: To avoid oversized osteotomies, no oversized
Trephine Drill should be used.
2 Place Trephine Drill
– Place the Trephine Drill over the implant after the connected
abutment / prosthetics have been removed. Optionally,
a straight Multi-unit abutment may be used to guide the
Trephine Drill into the proper position.
Note: Trephine Drills are single-use instruments for one
patient and one surgical treatment only. Do not use for any
purpose other than the removal of bone outside an implant.
Caution: Location of vital anatomical structures should be
verified with X-ray images before implant retrieval.

3 Drilling
Start the drilling procedure using low speed and copious
irrigation. When the Trephine Drill has gripped into the bone,
the optional straight Multi-unit Abutment can be removed
and the speed can be increased.
Start speed
60–100 rpm
1200–1500 rpm
Warnings:
–D
o not apply excessive pressure as breakage can occur.
– Instruments can wear out over time. If the cutting function
becomes reduced, replace the Trephine Drill with a new one.
–D
uring the drilling procedure care must be taken to prevent
adjacent vital structures being damaged as a result of the
increased width of the implant being removed.
– It is recommended to use the depth markings on the
Trephine Drills as landmarks in order to ensure that the
drill does not progress deeper than planned. This could
result in damage to vital structures.
Abutment retrieval
Cautions:
–G
enerous cooling is important when using Trephine Drills
to avoid overheating.
–S
teady handling is strongly recommended as a Trephine
Drill may jump sideways abruptly before fully surrounding
the implant.

Basic procedure
Implant retrieval
If the head of an abutment screw breaks, the screw fragment
frequently remains as a loose piece of metal within the implant.
This can often be teased out of the threaded portion of the implant using hemostats or pliers.
In situations where the Abutment Screw Remover alone cannot
remove a broken screw, refer to the advanced procedure (reverse drilling) on page 14.
It is strongly recommended that the abutment screw retrieval
instruments are used only with Nobel Biocare related prosthetic components and surgical instruments. Combining
components with different dimensions can lead to mechanical and/or instrument failure or damage the tissue.
Caution: Because of the small size of the prosthetic
components, care must be taken that they are not swallowed
or aspirated by the patient.
Abutment screw retrieval
The Abutment Screw Remover can be used to retrieve a broken
abutment / clinical screw if part of the screw is left inside the
implant screw channel and the fragment can be rotated
(Abutment Screw Remover works for all Nobel Biocare screw
retained restorations, both pre-fabricated and NobelProcera).
Warning: Do not use the Abutment Screw Remover for any
purpose other than the retrieval of a broken abutment /
clinical screw.

Cleaning and sterilization
Implant retrieval
Sterile components
The devices delivered sterile have a “Sterile” marking on
the label.
Sterile products intended for single use must not be used if
the expiration date (see label) has passed and/or the packaging
is damaged before use or is already open.
Abutment screw retrieval
Non-sterile components
Reusable instruments should be replaced when their efficiency
declines. Worn-out or damaged instruments need to be discarded and replaced with new instruments.
Abutment retrieval
Care and maintenance of reusable instruments and drills are
crucial for successful treatment. Well-maintained instruments
not only safeguard your patients and staff against infection,
but are also essential for the overall treatment outcome.
For additional information on cleaning and sterilization
please consult the Cleaning and sterilization
guidelines for Nobel Biocare products available at
www.nobelbiocare.com/sterilization or request the latest
printed version from a Nobel Biocare representative.
