Everything About Astra

The history of implants began in 1965. The first patient to receive implant surgery is said to have used the implant for 40 years, until death. Implants began as a surgeon’s attempt to apply titanium to bone surgery, and their origins are in Sweden.

For that reason, the perception of imported implants is based on stability from long-term clinical cases. Among imported implant companies, one of the most well-known brands is Astra.

Let’s take another look at Astra, which we have already reviewed before.

About the Astra Company

The first implant company was Brånemark Implant, which used an external-hex design based on the concept of bolts and nuts. The external-hex design has many advantages, but its biggest drawbacks are that screws loosen frequently and bone loss can be maximized. The design created to overcome this drawback was the internal-connection type, and among internal-connection types, the bone-level implant is the type of implant we commonly receive treatment with these days. The company that first introduced this form was Astra.

About Astra’s Features

Surface treatment method	TiO2 (titanium dioxide) treatment
Initial stability	Low
Osseointegration	Promoted
Special strength	Long-term maintenance possible after fixation

The internal-connection bone-level implant created by Astra has advantages that even Brånemark, which had the pride of being the first implant, and Straumann, which had the pride of being the first internal-connection transmucosal implant, have all adopted. Therefore, among internal-connection bone-level implants, Astra has the oldest clinical data, and this gives it the strength of high stability. However, it is not a company that pursues new innovative technology, so it has the drawback of low initial stability.

About Astra’s Design

Since Astra’s implants use the TiO2 (titanium dioxide) surface treatment method, the titanium surface is roughened so that osseointegration is not hindered after placement. In addition, because it has micro-threads, it is excellent at dispersing the pressure applied in daily life and prevents that pressure from overloading a specific area. Therefore, even though initial stability is low, once fixed it helps prevent alveolar bone resorption and allows long-term maintenance, resulting in a long implant lifespan.

• Excellent alveolar bone preservation ability

• Guaranteed for use for more than 30 years

• Maximizes the contact area with bone through nanometer-level roughness

• Excellent aesthetics

• Premium product from one of the world’s top three luxury implant brands
