The harmony of gold, the intrinsic precision between aesthetics and functionality.
Advan continues to innovate, combining clinical performance and aesthetic excellence. Advan introduces an important novelty in the prosthetic line: the colour anodising of some strategic components such as the Gingival Former Abutment, the Multi UnitAbutment and several complementary components. An upgrade that combines aesthetic value and clinical functionality, designed to meet the needs of professionals who are more attentive to the quality of the final result. Anodising is an electrochemical process that modifies the surface of titanium, making it more resistant and biocompatible¹, but in the case of the gold-coloured treatment, there is a clear advantage in terms of camouflage in soft tissues, especially in areas with greater aesthetic exposure. This particular gold shade was chosen not only for its elegance, but also for its ability to harmonise with the warm shades of the gingival tissues, resulting visually less invasive than traditional grey titanium components.
The new gold anodising of Advan prosthetic components.
Unlike other surface treatments, anodising does not modify the geometry of the component, ensuring that dimensional accuracy and perfect compatibility with the other elements of the implant system are maintained. Moreover, the oxide film generated by the process improves resistance to chemical and biological aggressions in the oral environment, reducing the risk of corrosion and prolonging the clinical durability of the components. This is particularly relevant in long-term prosthetic solutions or in patients with high inflammatory susceptibility. (3) The offer proposed by Advan includes both fully anodised components, for a uniform and discreet aesthetics, and solutions with partial anodising, where the upper part is treated with gold anodic passivation and the lower part retains the classic titanium colour (2).
This dual finish provides an optimal balance between operational visibility during placement and aesthetic integration in the oral cavity. In clinical terms, gold anodising represents a strategic choice: it improves colour perception in the transmucosal area, reduces the risk of greyish transparency and contributes to a more natural visual effect, both in immediate load solutions and in definitive restorations. Advan thus reconfirms its commitment to offering implant systems and prosthetic solutions of the latest generation, in which attention to technical detail merges with an evolved aesthetic vision, always respecting the highest standards of biocompatibility and precision.
NOTES
(1) Anodising increases corrosion resistance and improves biocompatibility of implant surfaces.
(2) Selective anodic passivation provides superior aesthetics while maintaining visual identification of implant interfaces.
(3) Several studies confirm the improved colour rendition of gold-plated components in peri-implant tissue management.
NOTE
(1) L’anodizzazione aumenta la resistenza alla corrosione e migliora la biocompatibilità delle superfici implantari.
(2) La passivazione anodica selettiva consente un’estetica superiore mantenendo l’identificazione visiva delle interfacce implantari.
(3) Diversi studi confermano la migliore resa cromatica dei componenti dorati nella gestione dei tessuti peri-implantari
