Q1 What types of cases are suitable for the ND Narrow Diameter implant? +
A: C-Tech ND features a narrow Ø3.1 mm diameter, making it suitable for cases with limited ridge space, particularly in the anterior region. It offers a more conservative implant-size option.
Q2 Can C-Tech ND maintain good primary stability despite its smaller diameter? +
A:C-Tech ND combines a Double Lead Thread design with an aggressive apical thread design to increase contact between the implant and bone tissue. It is designed to provide durability and strength comparable to larger implants, while also taking primary stability into consideration.
Q3 What are the key features of C-Tech ND's narrow 3.1 mm diameter? +
A: The smaller implant diameter can be used in narrower alveolar ridge spaces, particularly where ridge width is limited in the anterior region.
Q4 Why does C-Tech ND use multiple thread designs? +
A: C-Tech ND features different thread designs in different implant regions to accommodate varying bone structures while increasing the contact area between the implant and bone tissue.
Q5 Why does the implant tip feature a denser thread design? +
A: The Aggressive Apical Design helps create effective anchorage in bone during implant placement. Official product information also identifies it as a design feature suitable for immediate implant placement following extraction.
Q6 Why does C-Tech ND incorporate Micro Grooving around the implant neck? +
A:Micro Grooving is designed to reduce the forces applied to cortical bone during implant placement, with cortical bone preservation as a key consideration.
Q7 What are the benefits of a rounded implant tip? +
A: The Rounded Apex is designed to minimize interference with important anatomical structures during implant placement, with an emphasis on protecting areas such as the mandibular canal and the maxillary sinus floor.
Q8 Does a narrow-diameter implant also need Platform Switching? +
A: C-Tech ND also incorporates Platform Switching, with an emphasis on reducing bone loss, maintaining biologic width, and supporting long-term esthetic stability.
