Ti Base - Engaging - 4.3/5.0 (RP) - 16.042
The DESS Ti Base for Nobel Active® connection features a vertical wall design for maximum bond retention while providing an abundance of surface area for bonding and aesthetics. When DESS engineers began designing ti bases they had several goals in mind - creating a ti base that was easy to use, compatible according to the original manufacturer specifications, a connection that exceeded the standard tolerance and fit of the industry, reliability etc. but perhaps what was most important was this - How do we design a ti base that eliminates a fundamentally flawed design with tapered walls?
Tapered wall abutments have over 68% less bond retention, regardless of the height of the walls when compared to vertical wall designs. This weaker design leads to an increase in the likelihood of debonding and impacts the overall stability of the restoration and the implant.
So they set about developing the only vertical wall ti bases available at the time, which you can see throughout the DESS ti base portfolio. Now you have an intelligently engineered and designed ti base with the long term structural integrity that you should have had in the first place. Along with the availability of multiple collar heights, giving you a ti base that is superior in terms of maximizing bond retention, bondable surface area, and aesthetics.
In addition, all DESS ti bases arive ready for cementation thanks to the DESS patented SelectGrip® sandblasting process. This is a uniform, industrial applied sandblasting of 50 um alumina oxide particles, resulting in a surface with 2.5 times greater bond adhesion than a non sandblasted ti base. This eliminates the need to spend valuable time creating retention since we have done this for you. As well as mitigate the opportunity for costly errors when sandblasting in house.
DESS designs and manufactures all of their components with the final user in mind, making the switch is seamless and easy. DESS components are manufactured to be 100% compatible with the original implant systems and match the original manufacturers specs for tolerances, fit, and compatibility. Our components undergo rigorous and precise testing using state of the art measuring instruments to ensure that every component does exactly what it is supposed to every time.
Not only that, but DESS ti bases are FDA approved, which means their components have gone through extensive stress testing in extreme conditions, and are backed by a lifetime replacement warranty on both the original implant and DESS component. All while saving our clients and average of 60% off of the original manufacturer price tag.
DESS components are manufactured with precision in Europe in our state of art factory using medical grade materials from the U.S. Each batch is inspected to ensure that the tolerance and fit of the abutment connection and abutment screw is consistent and 100% compatible with the original implant manufacturer's connection specifications.
We back this up with a lifetime replacement warranty on the original Nobel Biocare® implant and DESS abutment.
DESS has an extensive line of Nobel Active® compatible components for all platforms - 3.0, NP/3.5, RP/4.3-5.0, WP/5.5, and Multiunits. This includes scan bodies, ti bases, angled screw channel ti bases, angled abutments, multiunit abutments, titanium temporary abutments, all plastic abutments, chrome cobalt abutments, healing abutments, and premills for custom titanium and chrome cobalt abutments. In addition DESS offers a complete line of thumb knobs, dental lab handles, screw drivers, multiunit drivers, and other tooling to assist you with restoring implant cases.
