MicroThread™

The neck of Astra Tech implants are designed with MicroThread™— minute threads that offer optimal load distribution and lower stress values. This design is based on a thorough understanding of bone physiology, vital to optimal implant design. Since bone tissue is designed to carry loads, dental implants must be developed to mechanically stimulate the surrounding bone in order to preserve it, taking into consideration that the critical point of the implant-bone interface is located at the marginal cortical bone where peak stresses occur.
