The ankylos implant system
The restoration of missing teeth is vital even in the case of one single missing tooth. Spaces in the set of teeth lead to the shifting of teeth in the jawbone that may result in the disintegration of its unity as well as in further tooth loss. This limits the applicability of implants later. The making of a fixed prosthesis such as a crown or a bridge is a complicated task that requires the cooperative work of the dentist and a dental technician. The implant is an artificial dental root. To replace the missing tooth, the dentist implants the artificial root in the jawbone.
The implant takes over the same function as natural teeth thus enables the patient to eliminate a number of inconveniences:- It improves chewing and speech
- It provides more comfort
Ideal ranges of application for implants:
- one missing tooth
- spaces within the set of teeth
- lack of posterior teeth
- edentulousness
The Ankylos implants are made of biologically neutral pure titanium. As the human body tolerates it, the possibility of rejection is excluded thanks to the characteristics of the material. In order to keep them touch proof, the implants are packed in sterile glass: the supporting screw is put inside the superstructure and can only be removed right before the insertion of the implant. The rough surface of the implants enhances the perfect fit and healing of the "new root". The special shape of ankylos implants ensures ideal fixing directly after the placement of the implant and protects the jawbone during mastication since the implant perfectly adjusts to its physiological characteristics. Four year clinical experience shows that thanks to the special form of the ankylos implant screw, the introduction of the occlusal force is carried out without overloading the bone substance. The ankylos implants are available in four different diameters and length that provide a solution for all implant problems.
The advantages of the Ankylos:- high level of security
- long term aesthetic stability
- cemented replacements
- it ensures an optimal condition for immediate load
- minimal risk of infections
- low risk of the loss of the amount of bone
- short therapy time
- high quality and affordable
The insertion of an implant also helps prevent bone loss following tooth extraction and restore good gingival contours.
