enable natural integration with TiUnite™

Nobel Biocare's unique implant surface, TiUnite™, helps regain and maintain a beautiful peri-implant gingiva and long-lasting esthetic results. Clinical studies show that TiUnite™ has the ability to maintain the marginal bone crest at a higher level than with machined implants, which is believed to stabilize the supracrestal soft tissue.

Macroscopic grooves at the implant collar are another implant feature designed for improved retention of the bone crest by enhanced load transfer to the marginal bone.

Studies show that the structure of soft tissue around TiUnite™ implants resembles that around natural teeth; namely an attachment of the junctional epithelium to the implant surface and firm adherence of the underlying connective tissue.

flapless surgery

Of course, flapless surgery means less trauma for the patient – less pain, less swelling and less chair time. This minimally invasive technique, in combination with Immediate Function™, also means less trauma for the tissues, which further enhances Soft Tissue Integration™.

enchancing the effect with grooves

Groovy, our unique grooved threads, enhances the effectiveness of all our implants. Adding grooves to the collar offers a means for stabilizing the soft tissue around the implant, which is believed to support a healthy and esthetic gingiva.
