How Do Dental Implants Work?
You might have heard about dental implants from TV or print advertisements, but it’s another thing altogether to learn how they actually perform. A dental implant is a small, threaded metal post that is placed within the bone tissue of the jaw. Remarkably, the human immune system does not recognize titanium as a threat, and instead, bone grows snugly into the threads.
This is a process called osseointegration, and it is central to the success of dental implant placement. It’s also being used in the attachment of prosthetic limbs for those who have lost them, and in joint replacement surgeries, as well. The connection between bone and titanium can be very strong, providing a stable renewal.
Straumann® Implants Offer Advanced Osseointegration
When it comes to osseointegration, not all dental implants are alike. There have been some real advancements in the way that dental implants are placed since they were first developed, and producers have been working toward more successful outcomes.
And nobody knows this field like Straumann®. They have put real effort into developing SLActive® Surface technology, which speeds up the process. But not only that, they have also created Roxolid® material, which combines the effectiveness of titanium with zirconium to offer additional strength.
