Efficiency by Flexibility

A Common Problem

In dental implants, angulation problems are common due to non-optimal implant placement or inadequate planning. Or just plain reality – some cases are simply more difficult. We solve this problem by introducing Addbutment – an innovative, unique and patented flexible abutment solution.

The Innovative Solution

The Addbutment flexible abutment with metallic seal angles up to 45 degrees each way and fits most implant systems. Fixation of the implant can be done at the safest and most convenient angle. The concept of one product, one size, one platform minimizes the stock of components and simplifies handling throughout the process. The time and money saved, by both dentist and technician, is considerable. In addition to this, the Addbutment flexible abutment is removable and ideal for difficult cases, where it serves as a saver solution. Addbutment creates efficiency by flexibility.

A Global Market in Growth

About 10 million patients are annually treated with over 12 million implants placed. The Addbutment solution will be used for multi-unit bridge solutions. Total potential market volume is about 1 million units annually. Addressable market for the Addbutment is estimated to be ~500.000 units per year. Annual growth for this segment is valued to reach ~7% annually.

Market Introduction

Addbutment explained

Bowl Screw

Ball abutment

Superstructure

There are three different components in the Addbutment solution, in addition to the super structure (bridge). The ball-abutment, which is installed in the implant, and BOWL SCREW & NUT, which is pre-assembled in the superstructure This makes it really easy for the dentist to install, no matter the angels of the implants.

The Nut & Bowl screw has both small key bulges, with matching key holes in the superstructure, so that when the nut and bowl screw are assembled in the Superstructure and turned a bit in the key chamber, they cannot fall out. They also have this function that, the bowl screw always is open and ready to “click on” the ball abutments.

When the superstructure is “clicked on” the nut and bowl screw is ready to be screwed together, and the bowl screw moves into the superstructure.

Now, the bowl screw squeezes the ball so hard that it can’t turn, at the same time as the
gaps in the bowl screw also is sealed completely, which means free from bacteria, and the superstructure it’s ready for use.
