Ankylos C/X
Ankylos · 🇩🇪 Germany
In plain English
Very tight conical connection that limits micro-movement. Can be placed below the bone crest.
The top of the implant sits level with the jawbone. This gives the dentist the most freedom to shape the gum for a natural look, which is why it is the most common type today.

What the connection means
