\n\n

How to Read the Code (verbatim from ZVINST0023)

\n

Per ZimVie's Encode Emergence Technical Guide (ZVINST0023): \"Grooves on the occlusal surface of the screw identify the implant system. The number of dimples below the straight line on the occlusal abutment surface indicate the platform diameter. The number of dimples on the right side of the abutment's occlusal dome indicate the abutment height.\"

Reading the Dimples

\n

Dimples on the top surface of the Encode are arranged in two distinct groups:

\n
    \n
  • Below the straight line \u2014 the dimple count encodes the implant platform diameter.
    • \n
  • On the right side of the occlusal dome \u2014 the dimple count encodes the abutment height (3, 5, or 7 mm).
    • \n
\n

ZimVie publishes the per-code visual map only inside the Encode Emergence Technical Guide (ZVINST0023, page 3) \u2014 there are no separately-hosted per-code PNG files. Open the PDF for the side-by-side dimple-pattern \u2192 diameter legend.

\n

SmartShape Healers are anatomically contoured, single-stage healing abutments machined from titanium alloy that double as scannable impression abutments. Rather than the traditional cylindrical healing cap, each healer presents a tooth-form emergence profile (anterior, mid, or posterior) that simultaneously shapes peri-implant soft tissue during osseointegration and serves as a digital or analog impression body. A matching VulcanDental library lets the lab design the final crown to the exact emergence profile sculpted by the healer \u2014 preserving the soft-tissue contour from healing through delivery.

\n\n
\n
\n

The Clinical Problem

\n

Cylindrical healers create a round emergence that does not reflect the natural cervical cross-section of an anterior, premolar, or molar tooth, so the soft tissue is recontoured at impression and again at delivery \u2014 collapsing the papillae and producing a \"pop-out\" emergence.

\n

What SmartShape Solves

\n

The gingiva is shaped to a tooth-anatomic profile during healing, then that exact profile is transferred to the lab via scan or closed-tray impression. No recontouring step, fewer components, less chairtime, and a profile-matched final restoration on day one.

\n
\n \"BioHorizons\n
\n\n

Six Anatomic Emergence Profiles

\n

Each platform diameter is available in six tooth-form profiles, plus a tall-height variant for thicker soft tissue:

Place \u2192 Impress \u2192 Design \u2192 Deliver

\n

The four-step SmartShape workflow eliminates the second component swap that disrupts soft tissue:

\n
    \n
  1. Place \u2014 Seat the SmartShape Healer at second-stage uncovery (or at implant placement when single-stage). Position so approximately 0.5 mm of the abutment sits above the soft tissue to leave a scannable margin.
    2. \n
  2. Impress \u2014 After tissue maturation, take an impression directly off the healer using either an intraoral digital scanner or a traditional closed-tray technique. The healer doubles as the impression coping; no separate transfer is placed.
    3. \n
  3. Design \u2014 3DL designs the custom final restoration using the matching SmartShape VulcanDental CAD library, keyed to each A/M/P profile and platform.
    4. \n
  4. Deliver \u2014 Final restoration arrives with the crown's subgingival emergence already matched to the tissue contour shaped by the healer. No recontouring at try-in.

\n

3DL does not recommend the Snap Scan Body for digital impression cases. While Snap Scan Bodies are convenient (one-piece, hand-placed, no driver required), the friction-fit retention and PEEK-only construction introduces seating-position variability that can affect scan accuracy and final restoration fit. For BioHorizons digital cases we prefer the Titanium Scan Body or \u2014 when emergence profile shaping is part of the workflow \u2014 the SmartShape Healers above.

\n
\n
\n

What It Is

\n

The BioHorizons Snap Scan Body is a one-piece PEEK component that is friction-seated by hand onto the implant prosthetic platform \u2014 no driver, no retention screw. Color-coded by platform diameter (3.0 / 3.5 / 4.5 / 5.7 mm) and available in two heights (8 mm and 11 mm).

\n

Why 3DL Recommends Against It

\n
    \n
  • Friction-fit seating variability \u2014 without a retention screw, the Snap can rock or slightly mis-seat under intraoral scanning conditions, introducing position error.
    • \n
  • PEEK-only construction \u2014 no titanium reference surface for verified scan capture; some IOS systems struggle with all-PEEK geometries.
    • \n
  • Limited torque verification \u2014 there is no torque spec because there is no screw, so seating cannot be confirmed objectively.
    • \n
  • Better alternatives exist \u2014 the standard Titanium Scan Body (Ti-base + screw retention) or the SmartShape Healer (anatomic + scannable in one) provide more predictable results in the 3DL workflow.

Note: The Anatomic Healing Abutment line and the Scan Healing Abutment SKUs appear on separate MegaGen product pages. Marketing materials describe scanning workflows that retain the component, but it's worth confirming with a current MegaGen rep whether a single SKU explicitly fuses both functions or whether they are sister products. Call 3DL at (248) 919-7929 \u2014 we verify per case.
