Webinar’s abstract

The OT Bridge system represents a paradigm shift in implant prosthetics, combining universality, biological preservation, prosthetic simplicity, and mechanical reliability. Central to this system is the OT Equator abutment, a single component adaptable to all implant platforms, diameters, and connections, with gingival heights ranging from 0.5 mm to 9 mm. This versatility enables the management of all types of prosthetic projects, including both removable and fixed full-arch restorations, using one standardized workflow.

From a biological standpoint, the OT Equator ensures superior precision in the implant-abutment interface. Its solid titanium cylinder minimizes microbial infiltration, preserving the biological barrier and promoting soft tissue adhesion during healing. The TiN coating further reduces plaque accumulation and bacterial colonization, lowering the risk of peri-implantitis and optimizing long-term tissue health.

The prosthetic design of the OT Bridge technique allows implant placement at extreme angles — even exceeding 85° — without relying on multiple multi-unit abutments or complex meso-structures. A secondary screw, designed for high torque up to 25 Ncm, ensures mechanical reliability and resistance to stress, while the Seeger Ring introduces a Snap-On pathway for rapid prosthesis attachment and detachment, maintaining retentive forces over 8 KgF and minimizing screw loosening.

The compact design of the OT Equator abutment optimizes space management, platform switching, and bone preservation, making it ideal for full-arch cases with limited vertical or horizontal clearance. Its reduced profile enhances aesthetic outcomes and simplifies prosthesis construction, minimizing the number of required components.

From a protocol and workflow perspective, the OT Equator replaces the healing screw at surgery completion, streamlining post-operative procedures and reducing instruments and screws needed. The Shock Absorber function of the Seeger component provides immediate stability, allowing for secure prosthetic positioning before screw fixation, with only partial screw tightening required in multi-implant cases.

The system seamlessly integrates traditional and digital workflows, supporting CAD-CAM libraries and scan-abutment components for fully digital protocols. Clinically, the OT Bridge technique significantly reduces patient waiting times, allowing temporary fixed prostheses to be applied within 2–3 hours post-surgery, with follow-up adjustments completed in minutes without anesthesia.

In summary, the OT Bridge system provides a universal, biologically sound, mechanically robust, and time-efficient solution for modern implant prosthetics, offering predictable outcomes, simplified protocols, and enhanced aesthetic and functional results for both clinicians and patients.
