Triple Jig
Immediate Load Protocol Patented by Artifex
At Artifex we are a leader in immediate load full arch restorative cases. We have been involved in over 1,500 cases to date.
Over the years we have learned a lot about the teeth-in-one-day process. We realize how important it is to be representing the restorative dentist in the OR. Artifex has developed a patented protocol for the immediate load process in which our clients may restore full arch hybrid cases in as little as two restorative appointments, three weeks apart, 30 minutes each – same as a single unit.
There are no confusing restorative parts with this patented protocol that adds confidence, efficiency and accuracy for our clients.

Patents
Patent number: 11628049
Apparatuses and methods for making a final hybrid prosthesis to be attached to dental implants
Patent number: 11628049
Abstract: The present invention includes apparatuses and methods for making a final hybrid prosthesis to be attached to one or more dental implants. One preferred method includes the step of making a temporary hybrid prosthesis and at about the same time also making a duplicate temporary hybrid prosthesis. The duplicate temporary hybrid prosthesis permits the final hybrid prosthesis to be made with fewer visits to a restorative dentist and with less dental laboratory time than is currently needed when making a final hybrid prosthesis.

I have been in the dental field for almost 20 years and have worked with many professionals at world renowned universities as well as private practice.
Having had the opportunity to work with Tony Prestipino and his team at Artifex Dental Lab has been one of most important factors in the success and growth of my private practice. The proof is not only in the inspiring challenges and ideas that Tony and his team have been presenting me on daily basis trying to come up with the best possible dental solutions for our patients but how his services have made our life as clinicians so much easier. Knowing we have someone on our team that has great understanding as well as passion for the field of dentistry is the most comforting thing a clinician can ask for.
One of the greatest examples are the invention of the “Triple Jig”. This concept has been the single most important “game changer” in the field of implant dentistry when it comes to immediate load full arch restorations. As still less than 15% of general dentists in the U.S. routinely restore dental implants, for the rest of them one of the most challenging aspects of implant dentistry are full arch restorations, in particular the impression taking of “full arch restorations”.
With the “Triple-Jig”, there is no need for a final “pick-up” impression as the master cast with the implant positions is already made at the time of surgery simply by duplicating the implant supported denture, hence eliminating the necessity of a final impression after full osseo-integration of the dental implants.
The reason why this procedure became a “game changer” is that it simply removes the most intimidating factor (“pick-up impression”) for the general dentist prior to delivering the accurately made final prosthesis. What this means for the patients in our community is that more patients can be offered this life changing treatment by enabling and empowering our general dentist in the community to treatment plan according to the patient’s needs.
In short, the “Triple Jig” is the perfect example of turning something complicated into something so easy that any dentist regardless of their experience and background would be able to deliver a rather sophisticated restoration with excellent quality and predictability.
For that, Thank You, Tony!
