This uniquely shaped implant eliminates the common compromise between marginalbonelevelsandaestheticsinslopedalveo- lar ridge situations. The implant design meets a clinical need: it fa- cilitates implant placement when there is a sloped ridge and optimizes implant position to maintain marginal bone support and aesthetics. “The sloped designletstheimplantadapttotheanatomyrather than letting the anatomy adapt to the implant design; this works particularly well for placement in the aestheticzone,”saysProfessorDr.Dr.WilfriedWagner,of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Department for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Germany.
