G-Cuff Temporary Gingival Support for Implant Impression

G-Cuff Non Invasive Tissue Management

KIT CONTAINS – 24 Assorted G-Cuffs and 1 Selection Tray

The main purpose of G-Cuff is to support soft tissue that surrounds the implant abutment allowing the impression means (conventional or digital) to have an access to the surface of the abutment needed for the optimal restoration.

The restoration with G-Cuff is a two-appointment procedure which completely eliminates a “try-in” visit. It renders a simple, affordable, and universal solution for any bridge and crown restoration.

The advantages of this simple and efficient system are as follows.

(1)As accuracy is the main factor in a restoration procedure especially for bridges or splinted crowns, the impression with G-Cuff is way more reliable than any other method, either “open tray” or “close tray.” Due to the significant shortening of the lab procedure, the risk of impression distortion is dramatically lowered.

(2)The G-Cuff system eliminates the need of materials such as impression copings, implant analogs, temporary abutments, and custom impression trays.

(3)In addition, the system solves a problem of the U.D.I (unidentified dental implants). The original abutment and a G-Cuff are enough to take a new impression and then to complete the restoration without even knowing the brand of the implant.

(4)The list of the advantages also includes reduction of redo rate, universality, chair-time reduction, precision of a framework, and the fact it works with custom/stock abutments.

(5)It also acts as a cement barrier making the peri-implant area free of cement remains. G-Cuff keeps the occlusal part of the gingival margin open, letting cement flow outside, as well as seals the apical part of the gingival margin, thus preventing cement from penetrating the Peri-implant tissue.

(6)It maximizes infection control due to the minimal manipulation of the abutment, and also numbers are printed on each G-cuff (8 different sizes) for easy recognition.

(7)Unlike the retraction cord, G-Cuff does not traumatize the tissue around the implant.

(8)It allows sectioning of any stone model creating a perfect working condition for the lab. In many cases transfers sectioning of the stone model is just impossible or very hard. G-Cuff eliminates any metal parts (implant analog) in the stone model allowing an easy sectioning like for regular crowns and bridges.

(9)Due to a special design of the apical margin of the cuff when the abutment is tightened, the cuff stretches and slides out of the abutment implant junction and is never trapped.

(10)In the cases where the aesthetic demand is extremely high, only G-Cuff allows the technician to access the entire restoration to create the utmost aesthetics.
