This is why the ti bases became so popular, however, The main complaint of the stock ti base is that they have a sudden and uncontrolled emergence profile in relation to the crest of the bone, this often causes far too much pressure on the soft tissue and in some cases the bone, resulting in blanching and subsequently resorption. There are also concerns over their short height for strength and bond surface,
(ref. Frank Spear article Dec 2015).
For the first time, The Implant Lab has now created the optimum product, which utilises the strength, biocompatibility and aesthetics of both materials for a healthy solution.
We are one of the first labs milling custom Ti bases. Thus, the ideal solution can be found for the different tissue heights and pressure, this not only saves you money, but ultimately benefits the patient by creating a much improved product.
We are able to scan from your impressions or receive your digital scans, in turn we can optimise the emergence profile of the Ti interface and increase the length and strength to bond to, before fabricating the zirconia substructure, resulting in a stronger more aesthetic implant crown
