Today there are various types of dental implants, including the morse-fit implant connection. But what does this mean? To understand what a morse-fit dental implant is, you first need to understand what an implant connection is. That way, we’ll show you why the morse-fit implant is the most modern implant available today. Dental implants from the Swiss brand Straumann have a morse-fit platform. Neodent also offers implants of this design.
To make the union between implant and tooth, there needs to be an interface and this piece is called an abutment. The way the abutment is placed on the implant is known as the implant connection or prosthetic connection.

Schematics of Morse-fit implants
There are different implant connection models, the main ones being external hexagon, internal hexagon and the advanced morse-fit system. Here, at the Implart dental clinic, we will present all the implant options suitable for your case during your initial assessment with our implant dentist.
Morse fit is a prosthetic connection system in which the implant has a conical central core. There is evidence that this format has several benefits over others. We’ll get to know them shortly.
Benefits of morse-fit implants over other types of connection
The morse-fit technique has a number of advantages and favors the dentist’s work for a more efficient and comfortable rehabilitation. See other advantages:
The conical shape preserves the bone crest, reducing the chances of bone loss, as this model is placed at bone level (below the bone).
Promotes bone stability which helps preserve peri-implant tissue.
The intermediaries used in morse-fit implants allow bone and gum to fill the space between the prosthesis and the implant, creating an ideal seal and preserving the bone.
The designed conical seal prevents bacteria from migrating to the implant. The design prevents bacterial colonization on the implant (peri-implantitis).
Studies have shown that the conical shape of the morse-fit implant connection is the best option for using the immediate loading technique due to the greater mechanical stability and performance of the abutment, and the favoring of osseointegration (the process of integration between implant and bone).
What’s more, these implants allow for faster healing and therefore a shorter implant treatment period
The morse-fit implant is the best option for the surgical and prosthetic phases, and performs best over time. Here are some more advantages:
Excellent frictional retention as well as reduced gaps between the abutment and the inside of the implant prevent displacement. The space reduction increases the contact area of the interface, offering greater resistance than other internal connections.
The model favors the distribution of physiological forces around the peri-implant tissues
It favors the aesthetic result of the treatment, as the dividing line between abutment and implant is easier and more discreet. In addition, the gums regenerate better with morse-fit implants.
Its angulation makes it easier to remove the implant, should this be necessary, while preserving bone and gum tissue.
The union between the morse-fit implant and the prosthetic parts is more stable and durable, preventing bacterial infiltration and infection of the gums and bone around the dental implant (peri-implantitis).

Here are some real dental implant testimonials from our patients, so you can see our quality from those who have experienced it. We pride ourselves on meeting your needs!
“I’ve been a patient of the ImplArt clinic for a few years, when I met Dr. Roberto Markarian. At the assessment appointment, he explained the treatment very clearly. I was someone who had a lot of trauma and fear of dentists, I couldn’t smile and I was very embarrassed.
I just have to say thank you for getting to know this clinic, which took very good care of me, excellent professionals, I was always attended to promptly throughout my treatment. Today I can smile. Congratulations to Clinica ImplArt and Dr. Roberto Markarian, and I can’t forget to mention Vivian, who has always been very attentive. How good it is to be able to count on professionals like you.”
Shirlei Gonçalves
“I am a patient of the ImplArt clinic, I had a total upper and partial lower implant treatment, assisted by Dr. Roberto, a highly competent professional, as well as his clinical staff! My treatment was carried out by Dr. Adriana, who is highly professional and attentive! I’m very happy with the result, it looks great and I get nothing but compliments.”
Solange Godoy
“I was very afraid of getting implants, but Dr. Roberto gave me so much reassurance that I had no doubts. I had the implants, I didn’t feel a thing and I didn’t have any problems. I was very pleased with the results, it even changed my self-esteem with the excellent work done. Dr. Brenda was an excellent professional, always attentive and explaining all the treatment procedures. A reliable team. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend it.”
Dulceni Paglione
“ImplArt has changed my life. It changed the way I smile and interact with people. I now have much more confidence in myself, my self-esteem has grown. I thank them for all their care and I say to anyone who is going to start treatment: you can trust them, because they are serious and their work is very good.”
Eliana Fagundes
“First world dental clinic, the tooth scanner only exists at Implart, I was impressed with the perfect result. Dr. Roberto is highly competent and gives us all the security we need when deciding to have an implant or more complicated surgery on our teeth. The team is top 10. I had my treatment with Dr. Roberto and his team and I highly recommend them.”
Valerie Hair
“I recently finished my treatment. I had Swiss implants and a porcelain prosthesis. I would like to praise the work of Dr. Roberto and all the qualified professionals in his team. These people work seriously and responsibly.”
Sebastião Melo
“Now that I’ve completed the full upper arch implant procedure I started about four months ago, I’m here to give my testimony to help anyone who needs treatment and has doubts about where to get it. I went through a real via crucis to get to Dr. Roberto’s clinic, because if you don’t have a referral, searching on the internet gives the impression that all dental surgeons are good, which is a total mistake.
Mentions like “graduated from such and such university” don’t mean much. Many don’t have the qualifications or equipment for more complex surgeries. Before arriving at Dr. Roberto’s clinic, I went to several that I thought were specialists, and I was frightened by the procedures suggested for my case. But as I’m very fearful, I didn’t agree to be treated at such clinics.
I continued researching and came across Dr. Roberto, who gave me a totally different solution from those who had gone before him, and so I began treatment. It was a blessing for me because I didn’t have to undergo surgery in a hospital under full anesthesia. It was easy, painless and I recovered quickly. “
Hideki Oshiro
“I found Implart through a Google search. I was looking for a clinic in São Paulo that would serve me with quality and speed, as I live in Miami. I wanted zirconia treatment, as is done here, and I found what I wanted at Implart. A committed team, a director with credibility and knowledge. I was very happy with my choice and came back very happy.”
Rafaela Nunes
“Having completed the first stage of my treatment, I’m taking the initiative to express my satisfaction with Implart. When I read the contract, I liked it. Objective, clear and transparent. Extremely professional. The clinic is well-kept, cozy, no-frills and very well equipped. I was able to see for myself that the materials used in my treatment were top quality. Very fine needles for anesthesia.This means that we feel almost nothing from the sting (of course, in this case, the professional’s hand is fundamental).
Anesthetics that left me wondering whether I was anesthetized or not, because the effect was so subtle. Powerful, though. Just as you hardly notice when the anesthetic wears off. There are no abrupt sensations. The restoration of a tooth that came in the way was carried out perfectly. The temporary prosthesis was very good. It fitted very well and the aesthetics were excellent. Very natural and very close to my original teeth.I love it!
Then the surgery! The next day it seemed like I hadn’t even undergone it, how comfortable I was. All of the above is very important, but for me the most important thing is Implart’s team of professionals. What really struck me was that everyone I spoke to was discreet, spontaneous, affectionate and welcoming. Dr. Roberto, congratulations on your clinic.And in my humble opinion I think it’s a model clinic.
If one day a dental student is able to do an internship at Implart, it would be a privilege. Believe me, everything I’m saying is the observation of a 60-year-old who has worked with a variety of professionals, from very good to very bad (all in private practice). I love being seen in a dental clinic. It’s more complete, modern and efficient.”
Setsuko Katayama, São Paulo-SP
“I thank and congratulate Dr. Roberto Markarian and his entire team for their competence, professionalism, ethics and respect. You have given me back the will to smile.”
Eva Bastos, São Paulo-SP
“The experience I’ve had with ImplArt dentistry couldn’t have been better. High professionalism, proper treatment and accurate information provided to patients are qualities that make ImplArt stand out in the dental field. Patients with limited time, as in my case, get a full guarantee of a service provided with precision.
The MSN patient support service provided by the administrative assistant makes Implart stand out and gives us the guarantee of an infrastructure prepared to meet all our needs with comfort and credibility. No matter the distance, time or need, IMPLART has shown that it makes a difference at national and international level. Thank you to everyone who makes ImplArt a differentiated and reliable service.”
Jomo Löw – Sacramento – California
“I’m very anxious about going to the dentist and I’ve always avoided it as much as possible. Now it’s been five years without treating my teeth, so I ended up losing some dentures, had a lot of cavities and an episode of pain. Then I came across the IMPLART clinic and this sedation technique. It was very easy to have the treatment this way. The doctor who saw me was very attentive and looked after me until the end of the procedure. I also found that the dentist worked quickly and did some implants and treated the cavities while I was asleep. It was a bit magical but when I woke up everything was ready, I thought it was great.”
M.R.R., businesswoman, São Paulo-SP
“It’s very easy for me to write in the form of testimonials about the dental implants I had for two years with Dr. Roberto from the ImplArt Clinic, because what seemed impossible at first, through Dr. Roberto’s skillful hands, became concrete every day.When I arrived at the office for a consultation more than two years ago, I had periodontal disease that had already compromised most of my teeth, both upper and lower. After the consultation, Dr. Roberto informed me that it was a difficult case, but not impossible to treat, and his suggestion was to implant both upper and lower teeth.
In a very didactic way, he explained the treatment step by step, showing me that one of the main elements in the whole stage would be patience and that’s what I had during the long process of surgeries and tests, but my calm, patience was due a lot to the confidence that Dr. Roberto gave me, his security, his intelligence, his education and affection were essential for me to go through this trajectory very calmly and sure that I would ultimately achieve my KOLYNOS smile, which can be COLGATE, SMILE.”
Cida Santos, University Professor, São Paulo – SP
“I was recently in São Paulo because I travel frequently for work. Due to the sudden need for emergency treatment, I came across the ImplArt Clinic, which promptly solved my problem. My time in the city, about a week, was enough for a definitive treatment to be completed. I was very pleased with the speed of treatment and the quality. I recommend it!”
Albert Cardoso, Fortaleza – CE
“As I have known Dr. Roberto for some time, I let him know in advance that I was coming to São Paulo, as I visit my family periodically. Dr. Roberto asked me to send him some tests in advance, which I promptly did by email. I was impressed by how useful technology can be even for dental treatment. I prefer the service in Brazil, as the dentists here are very cold and the prices are much higher.”
Regina Abreu, London – England
“I remember one Friday when I was performing at the Sala São Paulo, a jacket that was right in front of me broke. I called Dr. Markarian, made an appointment, he examined me and said that if I waited for surgery to finish, he would put an implant in. The result: I had the implant, left the office, came home, got ready and went to the repair, driving normally.
I arrived after midnight enraptured by the music and without remembering that I’d had an implant. I know a lot of people who have implants, get sick, have inflammation, get down, stop exercising. Thanks to the doctor’s safety, competence and in-depth knowledge, I never had any problems and everything went smoothly. That’s why I say that I was even sad, regretting the end of the treatment. A big hug to all of you and much success to the Clinic, especially to Dr. Roberto.”
Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher and produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Clinic.
Know more about the risks and dangers of dental implants
Crucial to the success of the procedure is the thorough planning of the implant surgery and the choice of specialist professionals who are qualified to carry out the dental implant surgery. This increases the chance of success of this important treatment, and therefore the chances of any complications are minimal.
So rest assured that you can enjoy all the benefits that this rehabilitative and safe treatment offers patients. The implant-supported prosthesis is made to resemble the person’s other natural teeth and also offer similar chewing strength.
Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is usually the best option for re-establishing the patient’s aesthetic and chewing functions, a treatment called total dental implantation.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) can exert a lot of force on the implants, with an increased chance of breakage or fracture of the implants or the parts that make up the implant prostheses.
Patients who bruxism also increase the risk of loosening the screws that fix the implant crown. When this happens, the patient reports that the implant is “soft”. However, we mustn’t confuse the prosthesis becoming loose with the implant pin coming loose from the bone (which is much more serious).
Most commonly, when the problem is just the loose implant tooth, the patient feels no pain, while when the implant is lost there is always pain. If the implant fractures or comes loose from the bone, it must be replaced, starting the dental implant process all over again.
Check complete PODCAST about 5 biggest risks for dental implants:
Is it the dentist’s fault that my implant fractured?
There are several factors to consider, some of which would be the material of the prosthesis, the number and positioning of the implants, correct surgical technique, material of the dental implant, type of prosthetic components chosen, type of prosthetic connection chosen.
Assuming that the professionals are working to do their best, it’s rare that there will be any negligence in this regard. What really counts is the willingness of the patient and the professional to start again, perhaps trying to improve or perfect one of the strategies.

2 – Inflammation in implants and risks
Inflammation can occur in a dental implant, manifesting itself as pain, swelling, pain when chewing, bleeding, and even the formation of pus in the implant. Please note that in any area of medicine where an artificial part is used inside the human body, there can be an adverse reaction of rejection.
This rejection phenomenon can occur in relation to the dental implant or an associated material such as a bone graft or a protective membrane. Bacterial infection can also occur in the implants, which can even prevent bone integration.
The implant on the left in the image has inflammatory bone loss, while the implant on the right has a normal bone level
That’s why all treatments at ImplArt begin with a thorough oral cleaning, as well as the removal of any infectious diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease. The patient will only have implant surgery if their mouth is clean and their oral health is good.
This is possible even if the patient doesn’t have all their teeth yet. When the prostheses on implants are finished, we teach the patient how to properly clean the dental implant. This correct hygiene is very important and certainly contributes to the chances of success of the dental implant.
Inflammation in implants leads to aesthetic, gum and bone problems
3 – Risk of facial nerve damage
If the surgery is not well planned, with the use of CT scans and other imaging tests for mapping,damage to the jaw nerve can occur during dental implant surgery. In the area at the back of the mouth in the lower arch, there is a nerve that can be very superficial, especially if the patient has been without teeth for many years.
In patients with advanced periodontal disease, bone loss can also put the nerve at risk due to its proximity.To reduce the risk of nerve damage and paresthesia, the implant dentist will carry out imaging tests. The most commonly requested exam is a panoramic X-ray, but a cone beam CT scan helps to measure the bone and plan the implant.
Computer-guided surgery – reducing risks
To minimize the risks even further, we can perform computer-guided partial or total implant surgery, which offers little invasiveness and allows for perfect positioning of the dental implant, with no room for error.
Crooked or poorly positioned implants can have poor bone integration or even rejection. It is not in all cases that we are able to recover the patient from oral nerve damage or poorly placed implants.
Depending on the severity of the problem, an injury to the jaw nerve can lead to sequelae such as numbness in the jaw or loss of sensation in the tongue or to the sensation of tastes (gustation).
At the ImplArt dental clinic, 100% of cases are operated on with a CT scan, which can be done in our own radiology center.
Guided implant surgery reduces the risk of dental implant positioning errors
4 – Risks in the bone around the implants
Bone loss can occur in an implant that has suffered infection while healing in the bone. In addition, in cases where immediate loading is carried out, i.e. a temporary or permanent tooth is placed in position immediately after surgery, there is a greater risk of bone and implant loss.
This is because the newly placed dental implant does not yet have a mature attachment to the bone and needs to rely exclusively on its mechanical locking into the bone in order to fix itself. Most of the time, if the indication and technique are correct, immediate loading works well.
But in cases of immediate failure, the consequences can be serious, for example leading to major bone loss in the area. There are more advanced dental implant models that have improvements to the fit of the tooth and also in the chemistry of the surface so that healing in the bone occurs faster and more efficiently.
Implant shapes and models have to do with clinical indications
5 – Increase in risk factors – patient health and habits
There are risks to the success of implant treatment that don’t depend on the professional or the materials used, but on patient factors. Failure to clean the teeth,smoking and diabetes increase the chance of problems with the dental implant.
In this article, we only discuss the RISKS in dental implants, however the success rates of dental implants are very high, especially for current implant dentistry techniques performed by a dental implant specialist.
Dental implants are an excellent treatment if they are well indicated, planned and executed.
Come and see our work! The ImplArt Dental Clinic has been dedicated to implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation for 18 years. We are located in São Paulo, Brazil.
Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher who produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Dental Clinic.
Dental implant surgery is not a complicated process. Certainly, with current techniques, it’s a common procedure with no unforeseen problems. Implant surgery can take as little as half an hour in the simplest cases, is done in the clinic, in the implant dentist’s own office, with local anesthesia and the patient feels no pain.
Here at the ImplArt Clinic, we get a lot of questions from patients, especially about how dental implants are done in practice. So, to answer this and other questions about implant surgery, we’ve prepared this article to answer all your doubts about the treatment.
What is the best dental implant?
Today there are various types of dental implant with different technologies and healing times. There are even implants that heal in 30 days, called fast-healing implants, such as the Slactive implant, from the Swiss company Straumann, which is a fast-healing dental implant. In addition to this implant, there is the option of the ceramic implant, the only zirconia implant available on the market that is titanium-free and more biological, making it an excellent option for those who don’t want to have metals installed in their mouths.
Dental implant surgery can also be performed with intravenous sedation, for those patients who have a phobia of dentists, or even for those looking for extra comfort.
How to do a dental implant procedure
Is it dangerous to have dental implants? Dental implant surgery is a more straightforward procedure than you might think
Dental implant surgery is a safe procedure, and increasingly has more modern resources to make it faster and more comfortable. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, we have modern systems and expertise.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to the implant procedure:
Step 1 – The procedure consists of making a small incision in the gum in order to expose the bone bed. The dentist needs to have good access to the area in order to install the implant correctly. If the dental implant surgery is performed with a Surgical Guide, it will be a blunt dental implant surgery
Step 2 – Small drills are then used to perforate the bone. The process is carried out in such a way as to progressively expand the cavity so that it can receive the implant of the size selected by the dentist.
Step 3 – The implant is then inserted into the cavity and given a protective cap.
Step 4 – The area is sutured, or in cases of Guided Surgery, the surgery is completed without the need for stitches.
Watch the video below explaining how dental implant surgery is performed:
In the classic implant treatment, the pin is surgically fixed into the bone and then the gum is sutured. The site is left to rest for around one to six months, depending on the type of implant used. The implant screw remains inside the bone tissue and must therefore undergo the osseointegration process, protected from chewing forces and food residue.
Shortly after the waiting period, a small cut is made in the gum and then the implant receives a piece called a healer, this process is called reopening. The implant cap can remain exposed in the mouth while the implant heals. Afterwards, the healer is removed without anesthesia (because it is not necessary), and a metal abutment is adapted to receive the prosthesis.
Recovery from dental implant surgery / after dentalimplants?
During the rest period, the patient can use a temporary prosthesis for day-to-day activities. This also helps prevent bone resorption, which would require the use of bone grafts in the future. In some selected cases, the implant can be inserted without cutting, through a small circular opening made in the gum.
This greatly favors the healing of the area as well as patient comfort. Implant surgery should be performed by a dentist specializing in implant dentistry, who certainly has the experience and knowledge in the field to determine the best treatment for each patient. In order to have a good post-operative period, people who undergo this procedure should follow the dentist’s instructions, take care of their oral hygiene and avoid smoking, which can compromise the success of dental implant treatment.

After dental implant treatment, it is always important to carry out cleaning and prophylaxis every 6 months, as a way of looking after the results achieved and monitoring oral health.
The main indication for implant treatment of all individual teeth is when the patient is close to losing all their teeth but has preserved bone.
Placing individual dental implants is an effective solution for restoring oral function and aesthetics. It also allows patients to regain the ability to chew and speak properly. It is important to note that the process of placing implants and individual teeth (one by one) requires detailed assessment and planning, taking into account the patient’s oral health and bone structure. It is therefore essential that a specialized professional carries out the procedure safely, to ensure the success of the treatment. There are currently several types of titanium implants to choose from, as well as zirconia implants.
Implantation of all the individual teeth is the technique that fixes a crown to each of the implants distributed throughout the arch.
However, this is a very advanced technique in implant dentistry and its indication and feasibility need to be examined by the implant dentist, who must determine whether the patient is a good candidate for implants of all the individual teeth. In principle, these are the basic requirements for implanting all individual teeth:
Have abundant bone (no bone loss)
Having a preserved amount of gum compared to natural teeth
In an open smile, the patient cannot show the gums
In this technique, each missing tooth will be replaced with an implant post + an individual dental crown. However, this is only possible in certain cases, please contact us.
Because of the bone and gum loss that usually occurs as a result of tooth loss, the result of the gingival appearance of a dental implant treatment of all individualized teeth is different from that of a natural dentition, and also bolder.
The main change in the shape of the gums after losing a tooth is that the gums become flat, without the arches that characterize a natural set of teeth. However, if your smile is very open, it will be necessary to make a prosthesis with a layer of artificial gum to simulate the appearance of normal gums. Read more about gum characterization in dentures.
Frequently asked questions about dental implants one by one:
Yes, but even if there is a volume gain in these tissues, the shape of the gums will not be the same as those of a natural set of teeth (arch shape). This is because in all cases of tooth extraction there is a small loss of volume in the bone in the area, which cannot be recovered even by performing a bone graft or gum graft.
Grafting in these cases will not recover all the lost gingival volume but will only allow implants to be placed. The rest of the lost tissue will need to be replaced with dental prostheses.
What are the contraindications to implanting all individual teeth?
Regions with gum defects, as the gums must be perfect for the individualized implant.
In these cases, the aesthetics of the teeth would not look good using implants one by one.
Considerations on implanting all individualized teeth – splendid results
Because of the bone loss that occurs as a result of losing teeth without immediate replacement, it is most common for patients not to be able to have all their individual teeth implanted. However, it is possible to use a fixed prosthesis with individual teeth, which gives excellent results: a total implant with fewer distributed implants and a full-arch fixed prosthesis.
Can people who have lost all their teeth get implants? What about the gums?
Dentures may or may not have a layer of gum to simulate the appearance of natural teeth. The gum is not designed to make the prosthesis look ugly. Many patients are reluctant to use artificial gums in their dentures, as they think they look like dentures.
However, with advances in the techniques and materials used, the artificial gingiva of the prosthesis is able to reproduce the aesthetics and naturalness of natural gingiva reliably. The types of total implant prostheses are:

Is it possible to carry out my dental implant treatment quickly and have the permanent prosthesis fitted straight away? This is a very common question and we understand this demand of fast dental implants. Nowadays, time is increasingly valuable and scarce, which leads to a need to complete dental treatment quickly.
So let’s take a closer look below and find out more about these modern dental implants. Fortunately, there are now several types of quality dental implant to choose from. All to make your implant treatment faster and more comfortable. If you’re short of time, try using rapid implants and the computerized prosthesis preparation system. With them, treatment is faster and more agile because it requires fewer treatment steps. In addition, treatment becomes more predictable and offers better technical and aesthetic results.
Fast healing dental implants: is there such a thing?
In recent years there has been a significant advance in dental implant technology. This is an expected movement, since each person has a specific demand, and implantologists and implant manufacturers need to respond to these demands. The demand for fast dental implant treatment is constant, precisely because of today’s lifestyle.
But another major demand from people is undoubtedly to speed up their oral rehabilitation by reducing the time it takes to install implants and a permanent fixed prosthesis. Pure zirconia crowns help to reduce the total treatment time.
After much research, Straumann has developed an implant surface technology called Slactive. It favors and accelerates osseintegration (a term that defines the healing and fixation of implants in the bone). In some cases, the healing period can be reduced from 6 to 1 month.
3 – Installation of a temporary prosthesis, in the case of total implants or front tooth implants, which allows the patient to wait until the implants have completely healed. Dental implant healing can vary from 1 month to 4 months, depending on the type of implant chosen. It’s important to bear in mind that the chance of a successful dental implant is quite high, but it can be compromised if the patient is a smoker and doesn’t have good hygiene habits.
4 – Installation of the final prosthesis. After this phase, which may involve making prototypes to study the color and shape of the new smile, the final prosthesis is installed on the chosen type of denture.
The use of StraumannSlactive implants means that, in some cases, the period of use of the provisional prosthesis can be reduced or even eliminated. Studies carried out by Straumann have already shown that the survival rate of the Slactive implant using the immediate loading technique after 10 years is 98.2%. This is the fastest dental implant available for those who want to speed up treatment.
What is Slactive surface technology for rapid dental implant treatment?
It is based on a sandblasting technique with large granules, which generates macro roughness on the titanium surface, followed by acid etching, which overlays the micro roughness. The resulting surface provides an ideal structure for the adhesion of bone-forming cells, which are necessary for osseointegration (integration between bone and implant). This amazing technology allows Straumann Slactive implants to be the fastest healing implants on the market.

Pure zirconia or pure porcelain prosthesis for rapid implants: the gold standard in complete oral rehabilitation
Many people have the perception that a porcelain or zirconiaprosthesis is a heavy piece and therefore not suitable for quick installation because it would hinder the healing of implants. But contrary to what it might seem, porcelain prostheses are much lighter than you might think. In addition to being the most modern and resistant options for the patient, they are also aesthetically superior.
By way of comparison, a full porcelain prosthesis weighs around 30g, while a tube weighs 25g. In addition, each dental implant supports a weight of 100kg, meaning that the weight of the prosthesis does not interfere with the implant.
The possibility of having a permanent porcelain prosthesis fixed on dental implants is a great relief for people who are determined to change their smile quickly. And no wonder. Pure porcelain or purezirconia are undoubtedly the most advanced materials available for the manufacture of dental prostheses.
Firstly, Pure Zirconia and Pure Porcelain are the materials that most closely resemble natural teeth, both in strength and appearance. Secondly, because these materials have been designed for fabrication in computerized systems (CAD/CAM), which greatly speeds up the entire programming of rapid dental implant treatment.

Can anyone have rapid treatment with Slactive implants and porcelain prostheses?
As we have seen, advanced technology means that many more people have an indication for rapid dental implant treatment. However, each case needs to be assessed individually in consultation. Undeniably, oral health and health in general need to be well assessed before anything else.
In addition, certain habits that may prevent successful rehabilitation, such as smoking and bruxism, need to be considered.

Dental implant recovery and care of dental implants before and after surgery
The post-operative period for dental implants and the preparation before dental implant surgeryare certainly fundamental to the success of the procedure. We have therefore prepared recommendations for patients who are going to have a dental implant, which can also be applied to minor dental surgery.
We should certainly point out that the care of dental implant surgery is considered a simple and minor intervention from a medical point of view, with low risk for the patient. The duration of surgery is short and recovery after implant surgery is also considered to be easy for the patient, even in cases of complete oral rehabilitation.
Eat normally before the procedure if the surgery involves local anesthesia. If you have opted for sedation, follow the specific guidelines for your case, which may involve fasting.
Take the prescribed medication 1 hour before arriving at the clinic. If indicated for your case, preferably come accompanied by someone who can drive.
Stitches for dental implants should be removed between 7 and 10 days.
