Implant solutions

Biomaterials

The choice of biomaterial inflfluences both osseointegration of the implant and architecture of the epithelialconnective attachment, essential for the stability and protection of peri-implant tissues.

• Oblique fibers anchored in the cement
• Rich in circular fibers
• Short junctional epithelium

• No anchoring of collagen fibers
• Fewer circular fibers
• Long junctional epithelium + crestal bone resorption

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC

• Dense connective sleeve of collagen fibers
• Rich in circular fibers
• Short junctional epithelium

  • BIOMIMETIC

ZIRCONIA AND PERI-IMPLANT SOFT TISSUES

  • Primary healing of peri-implant tissues
  • Long-term gain of epithelial-connective attachment
  • No cell disruption when handling prosthetic components
  • Ultra-smooth surface: prevents bacterial plaque retention
  • Thermal and tribocorrosion protection
  • No epithelial invagination
  • Short junctional epithelium with hemidesmosomes
  • Underlying connective contractile sleeve, rich in circular fibers
  • Stability of the biological width, without bone resorption
  • Creeping coronal attachment of the gingival margin

Implant design

Various supracrestal emergence geometries are now available aiming to preserve soft-tissue health.

• Coronal emergence profile in root extension
• Convex flare of coronal enamel
• Nautral epithelial-connective attachment

•Emergence profile shifted and not aligned
• Concave flare, bacterial plaque trap
• Epithelial invagination and crestal bone loss

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC

• Narrowed emergence profile reducing the prosthetic element diameter
• Excessive coronary flare creating an overhang
• Vulnerability of soft tissue attachment architecture

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC
  • Geometry imitating the natural tooth
  • Coronal emergence profile extending from the root
  • Convex flaring of the zirconia collar
  • Preserving biological width
  • No bacterial plaque trap
  • Accurate fit of the crown to the zirconia platform

Colorimetry

The translucency of titanium in transgingival applications remains a concern, and implantology manufacturers have developed industrial processes to overcome these drawbacks.

• Greyish transparency
• Grey margin in case of recession
• No impact on epithelial-connective architecture

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC

• Golden transparency
• Golden margin in case of recession
• No impact on epithelial-connective architecture

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC

• Pink transparency
• Pink margin in case of recession
• No impact on epithelial-connective architecture

  • NON-BIOMIMETIC

• Natural translucency of coronal enamel and dental root
• Exposure of an ivory root colour in case of gingival recession
• Original biological width

  • Natural translucency of zirconia through the gum
  • Exposure of an A2 shade of zirconia collar in case of gingival recession
  • Preserved and functional biological width
