The surface properties of the transgingival part of SDS implants enhance the soft tissue seal comprising the periimplant epithelial and connective tissues, preventing periimplantitis and tissue recession.¹⁻²

Comparison of the connective seal in a zirconia tissue level implant and a titanium tissue level implant.

Key Takeaways

💡

• Strong mucosal seal
• Desired soft tissue seal
• Prevents peri-implantitis
• Extensive protection of oral health
• Less tissue recession
• Long-term results

Clinical Advantages for Surgeons:

Zirconia implants facilitate the formation of the soft tissue seal³⁻⁴, similar to natural teeth, contributing to:

1.

Enhancement of the mucosal seal
