DEUDENT IMPLANT SURFACE TREATMENT: “SLA”

Today, dental implant technology has revolutionized the treatment of tooth loss. However, the success of an implant does not only depend on being made of titanium. The surface technology of the implant plays a critical role in its integration (osseointegration) with the bone. SLA (Sand-blasted, Large grit, Acid-etched) surface technology is a scientifically proven method that has set the standard in this field.
What is SLA and Why Does It Make a Difference?
SLA technology is a two-step process applied to the implant surface:
Sand-blasting: In the first step, the implant surface is blasted with a special, large-grit material. This process creates a macro-level roughness on the surface, visible to the eye. This rough surface provides an ideal ground for bone cells to attach.
Acid-etching: In the second step, the sandblasted surface is immersed in a high-temperature acid bath. This adds micro-level pits and channels on top of the macro roughness. These microstructures allow bone cells to attach to the implant surface more quickly and firmly.
As a result of this two-step process, the surface acts like a “climbing wall” for bone cells. This ensures:
Fast and Strong Osseointegration: Bone cells attach and multiply much faster on the rough and micro-structured surface. This shortens the bone integration time of the implant and accelerates the overall treatment.
High Success Rate: Strong osseointegration creates stable tissue around the implant. This significantly increases the long-term success and survival rate of the implant.
Reduced Risk of Infection: The biologically more compatible surface helps minimize the risk of inflammation (peri-implantitis) around the implant.
SLA surface implants not only replace your missing tooth but also ensure that the treatment continues in a healthy and problem-free way for many years.
For this reason, Deudent Dental Implant Systems use SLA surface technology in all of their implants.

PLATFORM SWITCHING

Platform switching is a concept used in dental implantology to ensure the long-term success of implants and the preservation of the surrounding bone. The main principle of this concept is as follows:
In Conventional Implants: The implant and the abutment placed on top of it are designed with the same or very similar diameters. In this case, the microscopic gap (microgap) at the implant–abutment junction is located right next to the surrounding bone. Bacteria that accumulate in this microgap can lead to bone loss (crestal bone resorption).
In Platform Switching: An abutment with a smaller diameter than the implant platform is used. Thanks to this design, the implant–abutment junction is positioned further inward, closer to the center of the implant and away from the bone. The benefits of this design include:
Preservation of Crestal Bone: Since the microgap is farther from the bone level, bacteria and inflammatory reactions are less likely to reach the bone. This minimizes crestal bone resorption and contributes to the long-term stability of the implant.
Healthy Soft Tissue: The gingival tissue (gum) around the implant can develop a thicker and healthier structure due to this additional space. This provides both aesthetic and biological advantages.
Reduced Biomechanical Stress: Platform switching helps distribute chewing forces more evenly within the internal structure of the implant rather than directly on the surrounding bone. This reduces the stress exerted on the implant.
In summary, platform switching in Deudent Dental Implants is a design philosophy where the diameter of the abutment is intentionally narrower than that of the implant platform, moving the implant–abutment junction away from the bone. This simple yet effective approach is a critical factor for the long-term success of dental implant treatment.

CONICAL CONNECTION

As the name suggests, this connection type has two main components:
Conical (Morse Taper) Connection: The angle between the inner walls of the implant and the outer walls of the abutment creates a perfectly matching conical structure. This conical design allows the abutment to be tightly wedged into the implant. The strong friction fit produces a “cold welding” effect, eliminating microscopic gaps between the parts.
Hexagon Structure: Located just above the conical connection, the hexagonal shape ensures that the abutment is positioned in the correct rotational alignment. This allows the prosthetic restoration to always be placed at the same angle with stability and precision.
The combination of these two structures creates a highly strong and stable connection mechanism that minimizes problems such as screw loosening and fracture.
Advantages of the Conical Hexagon Connection
Compared to conventional external hexagon connections, the conical hexagon connection system offers several important advantages:
Excellent Sealing: The friction between the conical surfaces eliminates microgaps between the implant and the abutment. This significantly reduces bacterial leakage and peri-implant inflammation (peri-implantitis).
Resistance to Screw Loosening and Fracture: The conical design absorbs most of the chewing forces, minimizing stress on the implant screw. This virtually eliminates the risk of screw loosening or breakage.
High Biomechanical Stability: Thanks to the strong and stable connection, there is no micromovement between the implant and the prosthetic components. This helps preserve the surrounding bone and prevents bone loss in the long term.
Bone Preservation: When combined with concepts like platform switching, the conical connection system minimizes bone loss at the implant neck level. This is critical both for aesthetics and for the long-term health of the implant.
The conical hexagon connection is a modern and reliable technology designed to enhance the long-term success of dental implant treatment by combining strength with biological compatibility. With its conical hexagon connection structure, Deudent Dental Implant Systems provides users with confidence in the long-term performance of their implants.

TAPPERED DESIGN :

Root-Form Dental Implant As the name suggests, a root-form dental implant has a cylindrical or conical design that mimics the natural root structure of a tooth. The main purpose of this design is to ensure that the implant fits into the jawbone in the most compatible way. Advantages: Natural Compatibility: The spaces in the jawbone are naturally shaped like tooth roots. Therefore, placing a root-form implant provides the most suitable solution for the bone structure. High Stability: Thanks to its root-like design, the implant achieves high primary stability within the bone. This is essential for the implant to remain stable throughout the healing process. Large Surface Area: The threaded, root-like surface increases the contact area between the implant and the bone. This accelerates the osseointegration process and ensures that the implant is firmly anchored within the bone. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to restore function and aesthetics in place of missing teeth. Today, two important design features that enhance the success of implants are their root-form structure and their self-cutting capability.

SELF-CUTTING

The self-cutting feature allows the implant to prepare its own bed in the bone through specially designed threads and cutting edges. With this feature, the implant can be placed directly into the bone while reducing the number of surgical instruments required and making the procedure more controlled.
Advantages:
Easy and Safe Placement: As the implant advances, it creates its own socket within the bone. This prevents unnecessary stress on the bone and helps position the implant accurately with minimal trauma.
Reduced Surgical Time: In addition to the pre-drilled site, the implant’s self-cutting design enables it to advance further on its own, shortening the surgical procedure.
Enhanced Stability: Self-cutting threads create a much tighter and mechanically stronger connection with the bone. This ensures sufficient stability even in cases where immediate loading of the implant is required.
With their root-form design and self-cutting feature, Deudent Implant Systems not only simplify the surgical procedure but also achieve maximum stability and biological compatibility within the bone — significantly increasing the long-term success of the treatment.
