Can it be picked up in a few months if not during surgery?

NO. If it is not picked up on the Carrier Guide while CHROME surgery is live, then the RAPID is not indexed to the implant, it’s just floating. This is not to be attempted. If the RAPID is not to be picked up at surgery, using lab analogs on the surgical prosthetic, make a stone model and use lab putty to flask over. This will allow the RAPID appliance to be placed in the flask, just like the conversion prosthetic, on temp cylinders on the analogs, and acrylic to be flowed in the flask to make the connection from RAPID to Temp Cylinder.
