Implant System Used

Dentsply Friadent is a company that has been providing top quality implant products to patients across the world for 30 years. The company attended a research programme in Germany in 1974 in order to develop the skills to create a ceramic implant, including the Ankylos implants. Ankylos implants are known for their top mechanical and predictable stability. Ankylos is the most authoritative system, strong and designed for long-term stability. The Ankylos connection principle, clinically proven for decades, is designed for initial and long-term tissue stability. The extremely accurate TissueCare Connection has virtually no micromovement and is almost totally bacteria-proof. And it is also keyed and friction-locked to prevent bone resorption and to ensure stable and healthy soft tissue.

The unique TissueCare Connection transfers the transition between implant and abutment to the interior of the implant and prevents mechanical influences on it and microbial attack on the peri-implant tissue. It provides additional space for the surrounding soft tissue. The keyed principle allows subcrestal placement, and the microstructured implant shoulder makes deposition of bone cells easy - for additional support of the overlying soft tissue. ANKYLOS establishes the best conditions. The progressive thread design makes it easy to screw the implants into position and enhances tissue retention. With the keyed and friction-locked TissueCare Connection Ankylos acts as a single-component implant with all the advantages of the two-component implant: surgery and prosthetics are completely independent of each other. And it also has only one diameter for all prosthetic components: any abutment can be combined with any implant as desired. It requires less storage. It is economical and it gives an optimum prosthetic result.

ANKYLOS® Implant System has been in clinical use since 1987. Designed for lasting esthetics, this system offers a conical connection and biological width design. For more than 20 years ANKYLOS, with its unique, friction-locked and keyed Tissue Care Connection has stood for successful long-term hard and soft-tissue stability and long-lasting esthetic outcomes. With the Tissue Care Concept, ANKYLOS is uniquely positioned for the future. Practitioners and patients all around the world trust the special mechanical stability between ANKYLOS implants and abutments, the structure-retaining implant site preparation, and the esthetic advantages of ANKYLOS prosthetics.

The Astra Tech Dental Implant System

The Astra Tech Implant System™ has been on the market over 20 years. Based on years of extensive research, we have developed a unique dental implant system that provides a secure anchor for new, natural-looking teeth.

• 
  A small titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. Titanium is a metal accepted by the body and heals together with the bone tissue to form a new, stable tooth root.
• 
  An abutment is a ceramic or titanium post that is placed into the implant to support a crown.
• 
  Once the dental implant and the abutment are in place, your dental professional fits the crown, the bridge or the prosthesis.

Prerequisites

A dental implant is the optimal solution if one or more teeth are missing. The Astra Tech Implant System™ can be tailored to different needs so that virtually anybody can have a tooth replacement that looks and functions like natural teeth. Fully developed bone tissue, however, is an important prerequisite. This is why dental implants are normally not installed in people under the age of 18.

When you are ready for a dental implant, you will have a solution tailored to your needs, general state of health and the quantity and quality of your bone tissue. These factors also determine the total duration of the treatment.

To find out if you are an implant candidate and to learn how Astra Tech implants can help restore the beauty of your natural teeth − speak with your dental professional today.

Advantage Astra Tech

When you choose dental implants from Astra Tech you have the reassurance of predictable, reliable, long-lasting results.

Based on years of extensive research we have developed a unique dental implant system that works with the body’s natural healing power. The surface of the implant has been treated to generate more bone and speed up the healing process. The result is a strong, tight connection between the bone and the dental implant. In clinical studies our implant system shows unrivalled long-term results. It is well proven that dental implants from Astra Tech have bone- and gum-stimulating properties and help to maintain healthy bone levels and normal appearance of gums and facial structures

A company in the AstraZeneca Group

Astra Tech is a company in the AstraZeneca Group, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies and we are committed to remaining at the forefront when it comes to advanced research and development in the field of implant dentistry.

The Astra Tech Implant System™ is exceptionally well documented and one of the fastest growing systems in the world today.

Working with nature

Astra Tech Implant System™ works together with nature in supporting the natural healing process instead of interfering with it. Healthy gums and maintained bone levels are crucial for a long lasting esthetic tooth replacement. Under the right conditions, nature itself does the major part of the job. The Astra Tech Implant System™ is designed to provide nature with the right conditions; all of the system's parts work together. It is function, beauty and biology in perfect harmony – we call it the Astra Tech BioManagement Complex™.

The Astra Tech BioManagement Complex™ is unique to dental implants from Astra Tech and includes:

• 
• OsseoSpeed™ – more bone rapidly
  MicroThread™ – biomechanical bone stimulation
  Conical Seal Design™ – a strong and stable fit
  Connective Contour™ – increased soft tissue contact zone and volume

  Dental implant solutions

  Can you really implant happiness? Sometimes, a small piece of titanium can revitalize your smile and boost flagging self-confidence.

  Those who have one or more missing teeth may feel insecure and self-conscious, but there is a story behind every missing tooth: an accident or bad genes, perhaps, or maybe cavities or periodontitis are the cause of a gap.

  Whatever the reason, patients want to be able to chew properly, to experience reliable stability, to retain their healthy teeth and to feel attractive.

  Dental implants: an esthetic long-term solution *

• 

Five good reasons for choosing dental implants

1. An esthetic solution

• 
• Function and visual appearance go hand in hand: dental implants were developed to offer reliable stability, plus the new solution on implants looks natural.

2. More to enjoy

• The dental plates often required with conventional dentures may cause pressure points and other inconveniences. With dental implant therapy, such dental plates are not necessary. Therefore, patients may experience more comfort when talking, smiling and eating. A North American survey has highlighted the advantages of implants and proven the theory that “those who kiss enjoy life more.” People who have bad or missing teeth kiss others less often and are in turn kissed less than those with good teeth. Surveys conducted by the McGill University in Canada with support from Straumann have shown that unease during kissing is considerably reduced if prostheses are anchored in place by implants.
• 

3. Bone preservation

Implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw bones, which helps to maintain the bone. If there is no implant, as with conventional bridges or partial prostheses, the bone may slowly recede and the shape of the face may change over time.

4. Tooth preservation

• 
• With a conventional bridge, the healthy neighboring teeth to the right and left of the missing tooth have to be ground down to support the bridge. When using an implant to close the gap, the neighboring teeth are not affected and the natural tooth surface remains intact.

5. Proven quality

Straumann dental implants have been sold over four million times worldwide. The Straumann® Dental Implant System is one of the most frequently used systems in the world and is the result of more than 30 years of scientific experience.

The big difference
Comparison of conventional methods and dental implants
The bridge solution

With conventional methods, the two healthy neighbouring teeth have to be ground down in order to fix a bridge in place. This results in a loss of natural tooth surface. Because the bridge does not transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone, bone deterioration may occur.

The implant solution

The dental implant replaces the missing tooth root. The healthy neighbouring teeth remain completely intact and are not ground down.
