ADVANCED
BIOLOGICAL DESIGN
ENGINEERED FOR MARGINAL BONE PRESERVATION
LONG-TERM AESTHETICS
The sequence of matching restorative components contributes to the maintenance of soft-tissue volume and predictable bone preservation.17
CONCAVE PROFILE
The prosthetically driven concave design increases soft-tissue volume, improving blood supply supporting an optimal emergence profile.17,18,19,20
MICROTHREADS
Provides even load distribution, stabilizes and aids in maintaining crestal bone levels.4,5,6
K-LEAN™ ULTRA-PURE SURFACE
Sandblasted acid-etched surface, with an extensive multi-stage cleaning process, utilizes ultra-pure water (UPW) which removes undesired residues, providing a clean surface and maintaining an intact oxide layer.7,8,9
