  1. Implant, abutment, external sound processor
  2. Implant, abutment, soft band
  3. Implant, external sound processor, drilling equipment
  4. None of the above
2.  What is NOT a surgical patient indication for a bone anchored hearing system in the U.S.?
  1. Single sided deafness
  2. Mixed hearing loss
  3. Children under 5 years of age
  4. Conductive hearing loss
3.  Two stage surgery refers to:
  1. Using two surgery rooms during the procedure
  2. One surgery to place the implant, the other to place the abutment on the implant
  3. The patient pays half and the insurance pays half

  2. Branemark implant
  3. titanium magnet
  4. none of the above
6.  The advantages of a wider (4.5mm) implant include:
  1. greater bone-surface contact
