A Concave Design- Biological S Line
BiomateSWISS®Design Concept.
In the design of dental implant abutments, if a concave design is adopted at the gingival height (as shown by the red curve), there are several potential benefits:
Reduced Stress Concentration
The concave design effectively reduces stress concentration near the gingival line of the abutment, preventing micromovements or material fatigue caused by occlusal forces or other mechanical stresses and thus extending the abutment's lifespan.
Enhanced Soft Tissue Health
This concave design can provide more space for the soft tissue, reducing pressure on the gingival tissue. This helps promote the health of the gingival tissue, reducing the risk of inflammation or recession, thereby maintaining long-term gingival health.
Improved Aesthetics
The concave design allows the abutment contour to better align with the natural curvature of the gingiva, helping to create a more natural gingival appearance. Especially in the anterior region, this design can help conceal the junction between the abutment and the crown, enhancing overall aesthetics.
Prevention of Plaque Accumulation
The concave design also helps reduce plaque accumulation near the gingival line, as it provides more space for gingival cleaning. Reducing bacterial adhesion lowers the chances of gingivitis and other periodontal problems.
Ease of Restoration Procedures
During restorative procedures, this design can offer better visibility and working space, making it easier for the dentist to make precise adjustments around the abutment and gingival areas.
Premium Performance
Overall, this concave design at the gingival height considers both biological compatibility and enhances patient comfort and the aesthetic outcome of the restoration.
