Benefits:
- Bonding of the threaded TI male keeper
in to the completed casting with threaded TI sphere assures an accurate size and smooth sphere for
minimal wear and a precise fit by eliminating sandblasting during devesting
and rubber wheeling necessary in a cast sphere. Also allows greater servicing options.
- Saves time and money
- This option is highly recommended over the plastic
castable sphere (1281).

After wax try in, utilize the setup or putty matrix to select the proper keeper
for maximum esthetics, space, and function (FIG 1). |

3 |
| Position the appropriate plastic keeper in passive contact with the
alveolar ridge using the RE P7 paralleling mandrel (FIG
2). Connect the keeper with
wax while keeping the papilla free. Remove the paralleling mandrel and complete the
support and connection (FIG 3 ). |

5 |
| Utilize a two stage investment process--fill the keeper with investment to avoid
air entrapments (FIG 4 ). Do NOT use
any debubblizer. After polishing, check the fit between the Titanium
male and the keeper (FIG 5 ).
After devesting, lightly sandblast the inside of the cast keeper and the outside of the TI threaded insert. C lean with a steam cleaner to
assure complete bonding.

| Mix Ceka Site in a (1:1) ratio (FIG 6 ) and apply inside the keeper prior to
positioning the Titanium keeper (FIG
7).
Please note: you will need to mix a new batch of Ceka Site for the
attachment on the opposing side, as the working time
will have expired on the material remaining on the mixing pad. |

9 |
| Position the threaded TI insert with the REP4 paralleling
mandrel (FIG 8-9). After 5-10 minutes setting time, the excess composite
(FIG 10 ) can be removed. Clean, polish, and use the Preci-Clix hex driver to thread the 1206C TI sphere into the threaded TI insert (FIG 11 ).

Completely surround the
replica of the male and keeper with a thick layer of wax and provide retention for
acrylic resin (FIG 13).
Cast and finish the chrome framework.

After try-in, and a new pickup impression is taken, it is
preferable to process
over a metal analogue male. Fill in the hex on top of the threaded sphere with wax, take the impression, and index the Preci Clix
1201D analogues into the impression. Pour up model, and the analogue
males will provide an exact representation (FIG
12a-d) for processing the female. The other option is to use the REH2 and REH14 threaded analogues as shown here . |

|
| Using the 1222 Clix Insertion tool, insert the yellow
female into the metal housing
(FIG 15). Check to verify that the female fits into the frame. Place the
black spacer over the male ball, and then place the female and
housing over the ball and spacer (FIG
16).
Place block-out material over the junction of the black
spacer and the titanium male to assure that no denture base resin gets into
the female. Connect the female housing to the cast frame with
self-cure acrylic resin. Process the female housing into the prosthesis
(FIG 17). |
