The ARC - Angled Rescue Cylinder - Straight ZIRCONIA Cylinder -- physical product.
Zirconia Temporary Cylinder – The Bondable MUA Pickup
Short Description
Stop relying on mechanical retention. The world's first Zirconia Temporary Cylinder designed for Day-of-Surgery (DOS) conversions. Get the rigidity of titanium, the esthetics of ceramic, and—for the first time—a true chemical bond to your prosthesis.
Detailed Product Description
For decades, the "weak link" in All-on-X conversions has been the temporary cylinder. Titanium cylinders rely on outdated mechanical grooves to hold the prosthesis, leading to debonding and failures. PEEK cylinders bond better but flex under pressure, distorting the passive fit you worked so hard to capture.
Integrated Restorations introduces the solution: The Zirconia Temporary Cylinder.
By utilizing high-strength Zirconia, we have created a cylinder that is absolutely rigid—ensuring your MUA position is captured with zero distortion—while offering a surface that can be silanated and chemically bonded to acrylic or composite.
No more gray show-through. No more cylinders popping loose. No more guessing.
Key Features & Benefits
- True Chemical Bond: Unlike titanium, which relies on mechanical locks, Zirconia allows you to silanate the surface. This creates a fused, monolithic unit with your temp material that resists separation.
- Zero-Flex Rigidity: Captures the MUA position with absolute precision. Unlike PEEK, Zirconia will not warp or flex during the pickup, guaranteeing a passive fit for the lab.
- Superior Esthetics: The natural tooth-colored material eliminates the "gray shadow" effect often seen with titanium cylinders, making it ideal for cases with limited vertical space or thin tissue biotypes.
- Soft Tissue Friendly: Highly polished zirconia is biocompatible and gentler on the gingiva during the healing phase compared to metal counterparts.
- Made in the USA: Precision-milled domestically to ensure consistent tolerance and fit.

"How to Use" (Pro Tip Section)
For best results:
- Sandblast the exterior of the cylinder lightly (50 micron).
- Apply Silane (Monobond or similar) to the cylinder surface.
- Bond using your preferred dual-cure cement or pick-up resin.
