Restoring a 5.1mm Endure (3M) implant?
I have inherited an unrestored 5.1x 11mm Endure implant which was placed by another dentist in approximately 2010. The implant has been discontinued by 3M. I cannot find information about the torque required for the final abutment screw. Does anybody know where I can go for further information or a website with documentation stating the required torque value??

Thank you for commenting.
3M seems in the dark about this implant as it was discontinued some years ago.
Maybe I will have to contact them again though...

contact park dental research since they were imtec which sold their system to 3M and talk to their tech support department PHONE: (800) 243-7372
ask for someone that worked at IMTEC and they should have that info

Endure components are available from a company in Italy. A company in South Africa GH Dental stocks them and can give information on it.

Torque setting is 25-30 N/cm for sure. Endure implant parts are very hard to get. However there is a guy named Victor Bianchi that used to deal in those parts.

Hi,
dont know if its too late but the implant you are talking about is now called c-tech gingival line. torque value is 25-30ncm it is a non morse taper internal hex connection.
I use c tech implants regularly and love their EL bone level implant
hope this helps
Nick
