Astra Tech has introduced an anatomically designed implant for sloped ridges called OsseoSpeed TX Profile. This uniquely shaped implant eliminates the common compromise between marginal bone levels and aesthetics in sloped alveolar ridge situations, according to the company.
The implant design meets a clinical need as it facilitates implant placement when there is a sloped ridge and optimizes implant position to maintain marginal bone support and aesthetics, the company explained.
Due to the sloped neck of this dental implant, Astra Tech recommends that dental professionals who use this product have extensive implant treatment knowledge.
