Fusion Dental Implants Angulated Screw Channel Solutions
POSTED October, 2018 in Products and Services
FUSION DENTAL IMPLANTS offers two solutions for angled screw channel crowns at 30° capacity. Patented in the U.S., the Universal Solution by IBO is one universal titanium base for two screw options: standard screw-retained crowns (implant manufacturer drivers) and angled screw channel crowns with the Angle Correct (AC) screw and universal driver. The Sure Solution Ti-base kit from BHS30 features a connection between the external ball head screw and driver that is preferred for stable, long-term restorations due to high torque resistance without screw head damage. It also comes with a plastic angled cylinder used for waxing and ceramic pressing.

The primary objective of this study was to design the optimal geometry of a novel screwdriver; create the grooves on a ball head screw; and demonstrate its resistance to a torque of up to 40 Ncm at an angulation of 0, 15 and 30 degrees by using nonlinear finite element analysis. A secondary objective was to create a fool-proof and easily recognizable system. The grooved ball head screw and geometry of the screwdriver, functioning from an angulation of 0° to 30°, was generated using Pro-ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 software. Static structural analyses between bodies in contact were performed at different angles of 0°, 15° and 30° at a torque of 20 Ncm and 40 Ncm, using nonlinear finite element simulation by means of ANSYS 12.0. The maximum stress supported by the ball head screw and screwdriver was similar at 20 Ncm and 40 Ncm. Although greater deformations were found at 40 Ncm, these were small and might not affect the performance of the system. Besides, the rupture torque value for the M2 connection was 55 Ncm for 0° and 30°, and 47.5 Ncm for 15°. Numerical simulation showed that the ball head system design can achieve the mechanical strength requirements expected for screws used in implant-supported restorations at an angulation of up to 30°. Finite element analysis showed this novel ball head screw and screwdriver system to be a good solution for angled screw channels in implant-supported prostheses.
New Company Offers Angled Screw Channel Implant Components
POSTED Feb 13, 2018 IN INDUSTRY NEWS
Fusion Dental Implants (FDI), a new supplier of implant components in North America, will make its debut at LMT LAB DAY Chicago where CEO Andrew Maples will announce its exclusive distribution partnership for the manufactured implant components of Ibodontit, sl (IBO) and Ball Head System, sl (BHS30) as well as the digital support of Target3D, sl of Spain.
Last month, FDI announced the exclusive rights to distribute the only U.S. patented Universal Ball Head screw and driver for angled screw channel restorations. While FDI emphasizes the Angled Screw Channel or Angle Correct (AC) components, it also carries the full suite of implant components for the major implant brands.
Maples has held various roles in the laboratory industry—3Shape-certified trainer, milling center owner and technical support manager—earning him a breadth of experience in digital workflows and implant dentistry. For details on FDI, visit fdimplants.com or call 833-433-4334.

UBH Screw and Driver for Angled Screw Channel Restorations Soon Available in the U.S.
POSTED JAN 17, 2018 IN INDUSTRY NEWS
UBH Screw with the driver engaged.
Universal Ball Head, sl (UBH), an associate company under Ball Head Group, sl, received a U.S. patent (#89785250) for its screw and driver for screw-retained prostheses with an angled screw access channel on March 23, 2015. The UBH screw and driver is licensed to and manufactured by Ibodontit, sl (IBO); its exclusive U.S. contracted reseller—Fusion Dental Implants (FDI)—is the only source in the U.S. for this patented product.
According to the manufacturer, the connection between the screw and driver is truly universal, with one driver for all implant screws. This connection can also be maintained at 30° due to the inverted geometrical design of the screw. This leading angulation capacity offers an easy solution when the transocclusal insertion axis is beyond the desired limits for an esthetic and functional oral restoration. As a result, this technology essentially eliminates the difficulty of using screw-retained restorations in any location, especially the anterior.
FDI will be officially named the U.S. reseller of the UBH screw and driver at LMT LAB DAY Chicago. For additional information, visit ubh30.com.
