Implant selection: from science to treatment planning

Macrogeometry and microgeometry determine many of the biologic and biomechanical reactions to implant healing and loading.

Implant macrogeometry influences surgical placement and primary stability, as well as the stability of the crestal hard and soft tissues. The stability of the prosthetic connection is related to the design of the abutment connection.

The microgeometry determine the biologic response of the host bony tissue immediate after placement and during bone healing.

The selection of the implant macrodesign and surface should based on the specific clinical application to enhance the success rates instead of commercial or personal preferences.
