Microthread in Dental Implants

Microthread in Dental Implant disperses the stress in the upper alveolar bone that develops from biting force and prevents bone resorption as a retention element. The microthread can decrease a patient’s discomfort with problems such as food impaction because multiple dental implants can be placed closely in the defective region so it is favorable for bone grafts by proper surface treatment and the given microthread. Unlike the conventional design, interdental resorption does not occur even if inter-implant distance is less than 3mm. Therefore, a more aesthetic implant prosthesis can be achieved by adjusting the depth and distance of the implant at the anterior region.

Full Mouth Reconstruction with Dental Implants

In full mouth reconstruction with dental implants, one-piece splint is no longer necessary. The dispersal of stress during mastication is effectively enabled by improvement of implant designs such as development of progressive power threading, tapered body and internal connections. FPD is fabricated in 2 to 4 pieces depending on the length, diameter, number and path of placement of dental implant, thus, passive and more accurate fit can be obtained.
