• behaves as an antibacterial shield • improves cellular adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts • generates gingival creeping attachment and reconstruction of the papillae • provides better aesthetic support of gingival tissue Emergence and height of the transgingival zirconia collar Manufacturing technique The zirconnection of PERIOSAVE Z1-Connect implants is a temperature-controlled fusion of zirconia and titanium. A high-pressure injected biocompatible matrix carries out a dual process of mechanical and chemical assembly. There is an absolute sealing between the materials. Photo MEB Zirconnexion : union between zirconia and titanium Internal octogonal connection The 8-sided connection (internal octagon) has been providing substantial advantages as much for the practitioner as for the laboratory technician : - favors the right orientation of the abutment shaft next to the antagonist teeth, - provides the optimal angle of the implant abutment’s in the prosthetic path, - enables the parallelism of the implant’s abutment compared to the proximate abutments. The morse taper : 2 cones providing a perfect friction The prosthetic abutment is screwed into the implant by morse taper : - guarantees the durability of the prosthetic reconstruction and the anti-unscrewing of the abutment, - ensures with a 5 microns tolerance, accuracy and permeability proven, - offers the possibility of a prosthetic fixation.
