There are numerous clinical situations where the long-axis of the implant results in an unfavorable location of the prosthetic screw access hole. One solution might be to sacrifice the retrievability and cement over the access hole or compromise the esthetic results.
But we have a better solution...
NOW DESS introduces the ANGLEBase® Angulated Screw Channel Solution that will allow for an angular adjustment of up to 25º. The specially designed screw and driver concept will retain the ability to use full recommended torque even at full angulation.
The ANGLEBase® is made of titanium grade V ELI and has a gold-anodized surface finishing that will further optimize the appearance especially in the esthetic zone. The shaft surface also features the patented and well proven SelectGrip® for optimal cement retention.
During the development we conducted both de-bonding and static fatigue tests comparing the results not only to the standard DESS Ti-Base but also to competitors' components. A dynamic fatigue test was also conducted and passed the required 5 million load cycles.
