Dental Implant Bar: One-Piece Screw-Retained Prosthesis
This one-piece screw-retained implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (Malo Bridge) is designed for full-arch rehabilitation of edentulous or partially edentulous jaws, supporting All-on-X treatment protocols.
Core Structure & Materials
Titanium Framework (Substructure)
- Material: Medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), precision-milled via CAD/CAM for excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance
- Connection Points: 6 screw-retained abutment interfaces integrated into the framework that lock directly onto dental implants
- Mechanical Design: Monolithic, arch-shaped bar provides exceptional rigidity for immediate loading and minimizes stress concentration on bone tissue
Superstructure (Teeth & Gingiva)
- Artificial Teeth: Fabricated from high-strength composite resin or zirconia, replicating natural tooth anatomy, color, and occlusion
- Gingival Simulation: Pink acrylic resin mimics natural gum contour for aesthetic transition between restoration and soft tissues
- Bonding: Tooth-gingiva unit permanently bonded to titanium framework via sintering or injection molding, creating a single stable unit
Key Clinical Advantages
- Stability & Function: Rigid titanium bar ensures high chewing efficiency comparable to natural dentition
- Maintainability: Entire restoration can be removed by unscrewing for professional cleaning and easy repair of individual teeth
- Bone-Sparing Design: Compatible with tilted posterior implants, avoiding complex bone grafting procedures and reducing treatment time
- Aesthetics: Customizable tooth and gum components deliver natural-looking results matching patient's oral anatomy
Design Benefits: Even distribution of occlusal forces across the arch prevents overload on individual fixtures and supports immediate loading protocols.
