What is the purpose of the Screw for Slim Platform Abutment in dental restorations?
The Screw for Slim Platform Abutment is designed to secure abutments to implants, ensuring a precise and stable connection for slim platform implants. Its dimensions are optimized for tight spaces, allowing dentists to perform restorations in areas with limited bone or soft tissue support. By offering an ideal fit with the Slim Platform Abutment, the screw minimizes micromovement, enhancing the longevity and functionality of the restoration while ensuring patient comfort.
What materials are used in the Screw for Slim Platform Abutment, and why?
Our Screw for Slim Platform Abutment is made from titanium grade 5, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. Titanium grade 5 resists corrosion and is ideal for the demanding forces experienced in the oral environment. This material ensures that the screw maintains its structural integrity over time, even under significant masticatory forces, contributing to the success of the restoration.
How does the Screw for Slim Platform Abutment enhance clinical outcomes?
The screw’s precise threading and design reduce the risk of loosening, a common challenge in implant-supported restorations. It provides a secure and durable fixation, ensuring stability and reducing complications like screw fractures or rotational instability. This reliability simplifies post-operative maintenance and enhances the long-term success of the prosthesis by maintaining the abutment’s position over time.
What should clinicians consider when using the Screw for Slim Platform Abutment?
Clinicians should ensure proper torque application during insertion to achieve a secure fit without over-tightening, which could damage the screw or surrounding components. Using a calibrated torque driver from GDT Implants ensures accuracy. Regular follow-up appointments are also recommended to monitor the screw’s performance and assess for signs of wear, ensuring the longevity and functionality of the restoration.
