MORGAN ADVANCED CERAMICS OFFERS INJECTION MOLDED CERAMIC DENTAL ABUTMENTS
Approved to ISO13356 Implants for Surgery, Ceramic Dental Abutments Offer a More Natural Color than Titanium
Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC), a leading manufacturer of innovative ceramic, glass, metal and engineered coating solutions, has achieved ISO13356 Implants for Surgery using Non-Metallic Materials approval for its Y-ZTP Zirconia, the material used in the manufacture of its ceramic injection molded (CIM) dental abutments. These products offer dental practitioners and laboratories significant benefits in terms of biocompatibility, aesthetics and volume manufacture. The new approval gives customers complete confidence in the suitability of the material as an alternative to traditional Titanium.
Ceramics, particularly Zirconia, are becoming increasingly popular with the dental industry as manufacturers look for ways to improve implant design and production. It has two key advantages. One is the better color match that ceramic provides; Titanium abutments make the tooth prostheses appear unnaturally dark. The second is the inherent biocompatibility of the material, which gives improved soft tissue management after implantation.
At its world-leading injection molding facility at Stourport in the UK, Morgan Advanced Ceramics is able to produce the highly complex geometries required for custom-designed dental abutments. It can produce these and their associated retaining and jawbone screws, accurately, in volume and with a high degree of repeatability.
Paul Manison, Project Manager, Morgan Advanced Ceramics explains: “The dental implant market is growing fast. We are working with a number of customers in this sector to help them achieve new, complex designs cost-effectively. Manufacturing tolerances on these CIM parts are typically in the range ±0.3%, and we are producing large volumes – typically upwards of 2,000 pieces – faster, more cost-effectively and with better repeatability than could ever be achieved using CNC-machining.”
