We insert porous-surface implants with these features
 |
66% less length than first-generation implants of equal surface area |
|  |
Because of their shortness (a 7 mm long porous-surface implant has the same surface area and hence the same fixation as a 21 mm long screw-type), they can be used in patients with less bone height than an first-generation implants |
|
|
Resistance to lateral forces due to wide load distribution over the bone-implant interface |
|
Resistance to twisting displacement forces, eliminating the need for complex counter-torque devices when connecting abutments |
|
Predictable osseointegration, even in the maxillary posterior segments |
|
Short healing times (2 months in the lower jaw, 4 in the upper) |
|  
 |
Our surgical techniques include
|
Minimal access incisions planned in advance with examination, radiographs, models and CT scans if required |
|
Positional and angulation control during insertion to achieve the most favorable function and aesthetics |
|
Press-fit placement into tapering osteotomies |
|
Simultaneous bone augmentation when required by the functional and aesthetic demands of the site |
|
Prior site development by sinus floor elevation in maxillary posterior areas that would otherwise be unable to accommodate implants |
|
One-stage surgery (with transgingival abutments connected at implant insertion) |
|
Immediate insertion (at time of tooth extraction) |
