TAPERED Implant

Indications

Tapered Implants are recommended in softer bone as, due to their pronounced conical shape, they provide a stronger compressive effect and thus guarantee a good primary stability even in soft bone. They should not be used in hard bone as, in this situation, the pronounced compression effect might be unwanted and result in increased torque during insertion.

Advantages

• Hexagonal interlocking of the conical sealed connection
  • Simplifies the fitting and positioning of prosthetic parts.

• Surface roughness technology for enhanced osseointegration
  • Homogeneously micro-structured topography using

• GC’s technological expertise (Aanchor® Surface Technology)
  • Grade 5 titanium alloy selected for its high quality.

• Progressive threads on the implant body
  • Optimizes primary stability by respecting bone physiology.

• Implant Features
  • Diameter reduced, platform switching
  • Optimized thread- and implant geometry for maximal bone to implant contact despite short length
  • Rounded apex for more security in treatment
  • Machined neck for periimplantitis prophylaxis
  • Balanced conicity of implant body for secure primary stability while protecting the bone
  • Self tapping thread for smooth and minimal invasive insertion

• Cumulative effect of shifting and switching platform
  • Active preservation of hard and soft tissue to obtain and maintain aesthetic and functional integration.

• External angulated geometry implant collar
  • Promotes the stabilization of the biological width by initiation of an attachment area for epithelial connective tissue.
  • Reduces the risk of peri-implantitis

• Coronal micro threads
  • Promotes rigidity of the implant collar and distributes the peripheral bone stress

• Conical seal design
  • Prevents bacterial infiltration and maintains the biological width.
  • Promotes hermeticity of the joint.
  • Enhances a homogeneous distribution of mechanical stresses.
  • Guarantees a stable prosthetic connection
