Introduction
Implant & Abutment System Connections
Certain® Internal Connection
The internal connection aspect of the implant and abutment are designed
for ease of use and simplicity.
• QuickSeat® Connection: It Clicks! The Certain Implant and Abutment
Systems feature the QuickSeat Connection. This unique connection
produces an audible and tactile “click” that confirms placement of
Impression Copings and Abutments.
• Abutment fingers cause the “click” and also provide retention for the
prosthetic components in the implant before the screw is placed. A screw
is needed to fully seat the components when the restoration is being
tried in or definitively placed.
• The 6/12 hex inside the internal connection incorporates both a 6-point
single and a 12-point double hex. The 6-point single hex has two
functions: engaging the driver tip for mountless delivery during implant
placement and providing anti-rotation for all straight abutments.
The 12-point double hex provides 30º rotational positioning for preangled abutments.
• Impression Copings: Pick-Up and Twist Lock™Transfer Copings are
available in the Certain Internal Connection design, in three EP®
(Emergence Profile) diameters and a straight diameter to match the
corresponding Healing Abutment. The Impression Copings also “click”
when properly seated. These copings have a different finger design that
engages 2mm internally into the implant, as compared to the abutment’s
design that engages 4mm deep into the implant. This shorter engagement
into the implant is important because it allows off-axis draw for implant
impressions that are divergent.

color-coded by restorative platform diameter for easy identification
and selection.
