Astra Tech BioManagement Complex™
Our way of safeguarding a reliable, predictable and esthetic result both in the short- and long-term, is with the Astra Tech BioManagement Complex?. This is a unique combination.
The unique soft tissue seal on the abutment level, together with well-calculated biomechanical interactions with the bone around the implant neck, ensure optimal conditions for the bone.
The load distribution and the lack of micro-movements and micro-leakage are the main reasons for maintained healthy peri-implant tissues and preserved marginal bone levels.
Why accept bone loss?
When it comes to implant treatment, peri-implant soft-tissue architecture and texture, in combination with maintained marginal bone levels, are absolute prerequisites for long lasting esthetic success.
Under the right conditions, nature itself does the major part of the job. The Astra Tech implant system is designed to provide nature with the right conditions; all of the system’s parts work together for reliable clinical success.
In fact, the system offers unrivalled, documented results when it comes to the maintenance of marginal bone integrity and soft tissue health. |

Necessary symbiosis
The maintenance of the marginal bone is crucial both from a functional as well as an esthetic point of view. Yet, “some” bone loss is commonly accepted as an unavoidable consequence of implant treatment.
Some implant suppliers even claim that it is positive and necessary in order to establish a biological width. At Astra Tech, we have never accepted this approach because there is no reason for you or your implant patients to accept bone loss.
Preserving marginal bone levels and establishing the biological width at the abutment level are really all about ensuring the right stimulation of the bone and promoting healthy soft tissue. Like the proverbial question,
“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” , healthy soft tissue and maintained marginal bone are interdependent. One cannot exist without the other,
because while an important task of the soft tissue is to protect the bone, the bone must be maintained to help support the soft tissue, a necessary symbiosis.
A holistic approach
To design a successful implant system, one needs not only a great deal of knowledge about biology and mechanics, but also an understanding of what happens when the two interact.
Early on in the development of the Astra Tech implant system, we realized the value of a holistic approach. That is why the Astra Tech implant system was uniquely based not only on a biological but also a biomechanical approach.

With the introduction of the OsseoSpeed? surface, providing unique nano scale topography, we have taken this to the next level by incorporating biochemistry.
Just as in nature, a successful existence cannot be determined by one single element alone. The terms biomechanics and biochemistry are no longer sufficient as
there must be several interdependent features working together. This interaction is what we call the Astra Tech BioManagement Complex?.
