22° Conical Connection
Secure Implant Abutment Interface
Tightly sealed conical interface with a deep internal hex connection offers high mechanical strength and platform switching to optimize bone preservation and soft tissue.11,12,13
One Platform
Simplified Workflow
One platform across all implant diameters simplifies the restorative workflow, with one prosthetic connection providing a variety of restorative options. This drives efficiency and reduces treatment complexity.
Precision Milled
Implant and abutments are produced to an accuracy within 0.5° to achieve excellent retention. The tighter the tolerance, the greater the mechanical retention for eliminating micromovement and providing a clinical seal between the implant and the abutment.11,12,13
The proprietary K-LEAN™ surface is created by two sequential stages: sandblasting, aimed at creating a porous surface topography, followed by acid etching, intended to generate micro-roughened surface structure. The surface treatment is completed by removing contaminants using ultra-pure water (UPW), a unique process acquired from the semiconductor industry.8,9,10
“PALTOP has decided to consistently clean their products with ultra-pure water (UPW), which is rather expensive to produce, compared to regular demineralized water, and is otherwise mostly employed by the semiconductor industry.”9
