• Bioactive Surface: Nano-coated titanium attracts bone cells

Phase 4: Final Restoration

• Abutment Connection: Zirconia/titanium base
• Crown Fabrication: Monolithic zirconia for strength
• Bite Optimization: Digital occlusal analysis

2. Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR): Building Your Foundation

When Needed:

  Socket preservation post-extraction
• 
  Sinus augmentation for upper implants

• Fill socket with:
• Bovine bone mineral (90% success)
• Cover with collagen membrane
• Suture for primary closure

B. Ridge Augmentation
