Materials & Biocompatibility

Nano Coated Wave Oberfläche

Features:

  • NCW* structure on Titanium bases follow the anatomical position of gingival fibers
  • Micro-roughness optimized for the adhesion of fibroblasts
  • TiN-Plasma-Coating

Benefits:

  • Less transfer of liquids and bacteria towards the bone
  • Better tissue healing and stability
  • Longer lasting esthetics
  • Better mechanical sealing of pocket, less pocket depth
  • Less bone resorption
  • Lower risk of peri-implantitis
  • Abutment color more esthetic

Biokompabilität

  • Examination from the University of Freiburg (Germany) in March 2016
  • Human gingival fibroblasts were cultivated on A4L LTS-hybrid abutment
  • Pictures show fibroblasts growing into Bonding-gap
  • Fibroblasts adopt elongated form

The NCW surface allows soft tissue adhesion

  • Less pocket depth through horizontal grooves, optimized for gingiva fibers.
  • Less plaque adhesion through TiN-Plasma-Coating
  • Micro-Roughness optimized for the adhesion of fibroblasts

Therefore:

  • Better tissue stability
  • Longer lasting Esthetics
  • Less impact areas
  • Less bone resorption
  • Lower risk of peri-implantitis System Features
