DESS® Flat Seat Screw: Redefining Full Arch Restorations for Modern Implant Dentistry
In the evolving field of implant dentistry, advancements like the DESS® Flat Seat Screw are transforming prosthetic restorations. These innovations simplify procedures while dramatically improving the functionality, comfort, and longevity of prosthetic solutions for patients.
There is a major shift in prosthetic restorations towards Direct on MUA techniques, eliminating the need for a Ti-Base in certain scenarios. This streamlined approach greatly advances from traditional methods, offering enhanced efficiency and effectiveness.
Challenges with Conical Screws
Conical screws are commonly used for Direct on MUA applications. While their conical bases aim to prevent loosening, they often present challenges like:
- Alignment Issues: Misalignment with MUA connection geometry due to multiple connections.
- Mechanical Instability: Increased stress can weaken screws and compromise prosthesis durability.
- Fractures and Damage: Misalignment may lead to fractures or stress on the prosthetic structure.
Limitations of Conical Screws
Through extensive testing, DESS® have identified significant drawbacks of conical screws:
- Lower preload force between zirconia and MUA.
- Dependence on precise milling for surface contact.
- Unpredictable seating height, causing collisions and early loosening.
- Misalignment between the zirconia axis and MUA.
What is the solution?
To address these limitations, DESS® have produced the new MUA Screw, a revolutionary solution designed specifically for direct on MUA restorations. Benefits of the DESS® Flat Seat Screw include:
- Superior Preload Force: Provides a secure and stable connection between the full arch restoration and MUA.
- Tolerance for Milling Discrepancies: Adapts to variations in screw hole milling for a more reliable fit.
- Consistent Surface Contact: Ensures a dependable seating area, reducing the impact of manufacturing deviations.
- Enhanced Control: The flat seat design optimizes screw positioning and tightness.
- Improved alignment ability: Automatically aligns with the MUA axis for precise fit and stability.
Why Choose the DESS® MUA Screw?
Comparative tests demonstrate that the DESS® Flat Seat Screw achieves higher preload forces, evenly distributing stress across the seating surface. This improves the durability of prosthetic restorations and minimizes damage, even with softer materials.
The DESS® Flat Seat Screw also features a Torx socket design, allowing for angled screw channels of up to 25°. This innovation supports improved structural integrity and superior aesthetics in the final prosthetic.
For implant dentistry professionals seeking a stable, reliable, and aesthetically enhanced solution, the DESS® Flat Seat Screw delivers unparalleled advantages for Direct on MUA restorations.
