Glidewell HT (Hahn Tapered Implant System) Restorative Lab
3DL works with the full Glidewell HT (Hahn Tapered Implant System) implant platform line. Custom abutments, screw-retained and cement-retained crowns, and implant bridges — designed to OEM tolerances with verified scan body compatibility. This page documents the implant lines we support, OEM and third-party scan body part numbers, CAD library coverage, and clinical considerations for Glidewell HT cases.

Final Torque Values
⚠️ Manufacturer-published torque specifications for clinical reference. Always verify against the current IFU before clinical use.
| Component | Torque |
|---|---|
| Final abutment screw | 35 Ncm |
| Healing abutment | hand-tight |
| Cover screw | hand-tight |
| Multi-unit abutment screw | 35 Ncm |
| Prosthetic screw | 15 Ncm |
Hahn Tapered IFU explicitly specifies 35 Ncm for final abutments and MUA seating. Multi-unit prosthetic screw on top of MUA = 15 Ncm. Temporary titanium abutment: 20 Ncm.

Clinical Notes & Considerations
- Hahn 3.5 and 4.3 share the same prosthetic platform — same scan body and Ti-base SKU is typical for both diameters (frequent source of confusion for new labs).
- Hahn 3.0 is a narrow-platform variant with its own dedicated scan body.
- Glidewell also markets the 'Inclusive Titanium Scan Body' line that publishes cross-compatibility with several non-Glidewell systems — Glidewell is unusual in operating as both an OEM AND a third-party scan body vendor.
3DL Workflow for Glidewell HT (Hahn Tapered Implant System) Cases
- Identify the component before submission. Call (248) 919-7929 or message through the doctor portal — 3DL verifies the Glidewell HT implant line, platform diameter, and the correct scan body family at no charge.
- Scan with any major IOS. Upload the scan through the doctor portal. 3DL confirms receipt the same day and validates the scan body capture before any milling begins.
- 3DL designs in matched pairs. Custom abutment and final crown are designed together so the emergence profile of the abutment supports the crown's gingival contour exactly.
- Mill, finish, ship. Custom titanium or zirconia abutment plus final crown ship together in 7 to 10 business days. Verification jig included on request.
