Effectiveness in Prosthodontics with Mechanically Strong, Paltform Switched Implant Systems

Paul Weigl

Sažetak

A decisive feature of the two-piece implant system of today is a mechanically strong, reliable implant abutment interface. This demand can be optimally achived by a precisely machined, tapered cone abutment (Morse taper) connection. This tapered abutment connection provides high resistance to bending and rotational torque during clinical function which significantly reduces the possibilities of screw fracture of loosening. Additionally, tapered abutement connection causes a platform switched design at the coronal portion of the implant. It enables a thick layer of dense soft tissue to form around the neck of the abutment an dcover the remaining horizontal area of the platform. This thick tissue masks the colour of the titanium that is cervical to the fixed prosthesis and is responsible for normal tissue colour. This platform switched implant design also moves the site of the implant-abutment interface from the outer top margin to the center of the implant shoulder, enabling the establishment of a bilogical width that is perpendicular to the long axis of the implant. The height of the marginal osseous crest (crestal bone) is maintained at the coronal top of the implant shoulder- it plays a decisive role in the formation and long term maintenance of papillas. Additionally, the platform switched design facilitates the mounting of submucosal placed abutments, preventing imapction of soft tissue between the implant-abutment interface. Both the high strength and initial small diameter of the abutment make it possible to obtain: (1) excellent aesthetics and (2) suprastructures that are clinically very similar to tooth borne prostheses.
