OCTO-link abutment is connected to the implant by a tapping force applied 3-6 times on it. Place the metal housings which contains the plastic OCTO-link attachments on the abutments.
A space about 1mm wider than the size of the metal housings is prepared by removing sufficient acrylic inside of the removable prosthesis where the implants are located Place O-ring sealers around the margins of the metal housing to prevent self-curing acrylic unintentionally flow under the OCTO-link attachments Chairside autopolymerizing acrylic is filled into the space prepared within the prosthesis and the prosthesis is placed in the mouth with teeth lightly in occlusion.
OCTO-link attachments are permanently fixed within the prosthesis using this procedure If desired, OCTO-link attachments can be connected in to the prosthesis at the laboratory by using the analogs and transfer technique.
