Range of Astra Tech Implants
OsseoSpeed™ System Astra Tech Implant System™, esthetics are integrated into the implant system design. The following combination of key features is unique to Astra Tech:
- OsseoSpeed : for more bone more rapidly built on the proven success of TiOblast, with a chemically modified titanium surface, providing unique nano scale topography, that stimulates early bone healing and speeds up the bone healing process.
- MicroThread : for biomechanical bone stimulation. MicroThread are minute threads that offer optimal load distribution and lower stress values. design is based on a thorough understanding of bone physiology, vital to optimal implant design.
- Conical Seal Design: for a strong and stable fit. The conical connection below the marginal bone level that transfers the load deeper down in the bone. Compared to conical connections above the marginal bone level and flat-to-flat designs, Conical Seal Design reduces peak stresses and thereby preserves the marginal bone. It also seals off the interior of the implant from surrounding tissues, minimizing micro-movements and micro-leakage
- Connective Contour: for increased soft tissue contact zone and volume. The connective contour is the unique contour that is created when you connect the abutment to the implant. This contour allows for an increased connective soft tissue contact zone both in height and volume, which integrates with the transmucosal part of the implant, sealing off and protecting the marginal bone
