Thread Tap

Use the thread tap to repair damaged internal threads.

Thread Tap 0493 is used to retap internal threads on the following implants: Integral 3.25mm, Omniloc 3.25mm, Omniloc 4.0mm
Thread Tap 0494 is used to retap internal threads on the following implants: Integral 4.0mm.

NOTE: Extreme caution should be exercised while using the tap. Since the tap is very small in diameter and the metal is brittle, too much force can cause the tap to break off in the implant. Tapping will generate titanium particles; water irrigation and suction is advisable

Detailed Instruction :
1.Expose the implant thread
2. Carefully start screwing in the tap – it must start without force to
ensure that it has not started to cross-thread. Continue to
gently turn
(clockwise) until resistance is felt. Turn gently, approximately 1/8 turn,
then completely, remove tap and flush-out-hole.
3. Screw in the abutment and see if it will now seat properly. If not,
remove and go to step 4.
4. Using water irrigation and suction, begin tapping the hole again as outlined above. When resistance is felt, turn in 1/8 turn and
back off one turn. Screw in 1/8 turn past the point of resistance and out one turn repeatedly
5. Remove tap, flush and check depth with abutment. If not seated, go on step 6.
6. Continue steps 4 and 5 until sufficient thread is achieved. DO NOT FORCE
7. After ensuring the abutment seats properly, remove it
and completely flush out the hole and continue with
the standard procedure
