Surfaces for dental implant systems
Xeal™ abutment surface and TiUltra™ implant surface. Nobel Biocare’s extensive expertise in anodization technology is applied to the full implant system, from abutment to apex.
Roughness, porosity, and surface chemistry are important factors for tissue integration. Surface chemistry plays an especially vital role in enhancing cell attachment.1-3
Tissue integration begins here. Soft tissue attachment contact with an abutment can act as a barrier that protects the underlying bone. This is the basis for long-term tissue health and stability.6-9
It is a smooth non-porous, nanostructured and anodized surface and possesses surface chemistry and topography that are specially designed to promote soft-tissue attachment.4,5
The distinctive golden color occurs naturally during the manufacturing process. The hue also presents a natural appearance in the transmucosal zone.5
Preserving the surface chemistry and hydrophilicity.1
The surface chemistry and hydrophilicity of Xeal and TiUltra surfaces are preserved with the protective layer. This ensures that every implant and abutment arrives in pristine condition – to you and to your patients.1,5
Ideal tissue integration isn’t just about surface roughness, it’s about how every surface reacts with the tissue around it. The TiUltra surface is ultra-hydrophilic, anodized, with a gradual change in topography, becoming moderately rough and porous towards the implant apex.1,12,13
At collar level, the TiUltra surface is non-porous and nanostructured. Its golden hue is a happy byproduct of the specific oxide thickness achieved during anodization.1
TiUltra implant surface applied in the collar region features surface chemistry and topography that are designed to promote early osseointegration and are designed to support bone stability.1,14
