Why the bone remains stable with the TissuCare concept

Can the peri-implant tissue be tightly sealed from the oral cavity? Is this seal just as tight as with natural teeth? The answer is “yes-and-no”. The soft tissue collar forms around implants as it does around teeth – but only if the surface structure and position of the implant are correct. In the long term bone and soft tissue remain stable if, in addition, the abutment connection is shifted horizontally, is stable and bacteria-proof.

Recommendations on implant position

How an implant is positioned in relation to the bone has major repercussions for aesthetics. Stabilization of the bone, even above the horizontal shoulder part of ANKYLOS implants, is a clinically important advantage over conventional two-part implant systems.

Examples of subcrestal positioning

We know that carefully documented success is required to build confidence. When it comes to ANKYLOS and the genuine TissueCare concept, there is comprehensive data, from fundamental research through to prospective clinical trials.

Five points for long-term tissue stability

How and why bone and soft tissue remain stable is determined by more than one factor: Implant surface, position in the bone, type and geometry of connection, to name just some examples. Research and clinical experience have shown which five factors are the most important. Ultimately all details must interact in the right way. This is the only way to make implant-borne restorations successful over the long term:

1. No micromovement
2. Bacteria-proof connection
3. Platform Switching
4. Subcrestal placement
5. Microroughness to the interface
