An implant analog is an exact replica of the implant's connection, used by the lab to build the master model. An impression coping (transfer) records where the implant sits in the mouth. This collection brings both together, so you can order the coping and the matching lab analog for each case in one place.
You'll find stainless steel lab analogs for the 2.43 mm internal hex (Ø3.75 and Ø4.5 platforms), lab analogs for the conical NP and RP platforms, and analogs for General Multi-Unit, Prime Multi-Unit and Wise-Lock attachments. Open-tray and closed-tray impression copings for each platform sit alongside them. Working digitally? See our scan bodies and digital analogs.
From impression to master model
1. Take the impression
Seat an open-tray or closed-tray impression coping on the implant or multi-unit abutment and take the impression. The coping records the implant's position and the orientation of its connection. Which one to use is covered in open vs closed tray impression copings.
2. Connect the analog
In the lab, screw the matching implant analog onto the coping in the impression. The analog has the same connection as the implant, so the model reproduces it exactly.
3. Pour the master model
Pour the model around the analog. The restoration is then built and checked on the lab analog before it goes back to the clinic.
Going digital instead?
A scan replaces the physical impression and a digital analog seats in the printed model. See implant scan bodies and implant analogs, or shop impression copings on their own.
