How does the 15° angulation of the Anatomic Angulated Abutment benefit clinical outcomes?
The 15° angulation of the Anatomic Angulated Abutment allows for optimal alignment of dental restorations in cases where implants are placed at challenging angles. This design compensates for implant angulations, enabling the creation of a more natural and functional restoration. By improving the trajectory of the abutment, the angulated design enhances load distribution and minimizes stress on the implant and surrounding structures, contributing to long-term success.
What material is used in the Anatomic Angulated Abutment 15° RP, and why was it selected?
Our Anatomic Angulated Abutment 15° RP is crafted from titanium grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This alloy is chosen for its ability to withstand high mechanical forces, ensuring the stability and longevity of the abutment. Additionally, its surface properties promote optimal integration with soft tissue, contributing to improved aesthetic outcomes and reduced risk of inflammation.
How does the anatomic design of the abutment improve soft tissue health?
The anatomic contour of the Angulated Abutment is designed to mimic the natural emergence profile of a tooth. This shape supports the soft tissue, promoting a healthy seal around the abutment and reducing the risk of soft tissue recession. By maintaining this seal, the design minimizes bacterial infiltration and supports long-term peri-implant health, ensuring better outcomes for both function and aesthetics.
What clinical considerations should be taken into account when using the Anatomic Angulated Abutment 15° RP?
When using the Anatomic Angulated Abutment 15° RP, clinicians should carefully assess the angulation of the implant and the desired final position of the restoration. The 15° angle is ideal for mild to moderate adjustments but may not suit cases requiring more extreme corrections. It’s also important to ensure precise seating of the abutment to avoid micro-movements, which can compromise the restoration's stability. We recommend following GDT Implants’ specific torque guidelines for secure placement.
