“3i”, a Biomet Company, has introduced its new line of provisional components: PreFormance™ Posts and Temporary Cylinders.
These components are made of a strong, biocompatible polymer material called PEEK that is easily customized to a patient’s tissue contours and anatomic profile. PreFormance Provisional Components offer some of the longest temporary in-vivo use of polymers on the market – 180 days versus 30 days.
The PreFormance Post cement-retained provisional option features the Certain® QuickSeat® Connection, which tells the clinician the abutment is properly seated with an audible and tactile click. It is available in straight or 15° preangled configurations for ideal angle correction, collar heights in 4 or 6mm to follow gingival contours without trapping cement and an Emergence Profile (EP®) for more natural aesthetics. The PreFormance Post also has a smooth surface for easy provisional restoration reline and a flat side for anti-rotation.
The PreFormance Temporary Cylinder screw-retained option has a knurled surface for mechanical retention of resin material and is available in hexed or non-hexed. The hexed version also offers the Certain QuickSeat Connection.
