Anthogyr - for those who choose their own path

What do you know about Anthogyr?
Anthogyr is a European manufacturer of implantation systems with a modern high-tech production facility in the city of Sallanches in France. For 70 years, Anthogyr has specialized in high-precision manufacturing and micromechanics. In 2019, Anthogyr became part of the Straumann Group.

In the European and Asian markets, Anthogyr solutions have been well known and popular for decades, while for the Russian market this brand is new to most doctors and patients. In Russia, Anthogyr, under the wing of the Straumann Group, represents the middle price segment, offering innovative solutions for dental implantology, a wide portfolio of orthopedic components and thoughtful ergonomic instruments.

Let's figure out what the features and advantages of the solutions offered by Anthogyr are and how they will expand your patient treatment options.

Precision in detail

Getting acquainted with Anthogyr solutions should begin with the history of the company, since it contains the secret of precise and high-quality production, thanks to which the products of this brand are in demand by specialists around the world.

Anthogyr's history goes back a long way and originates from a family-owned enterprise producing precision metal products for the watch industry, which originated at the beginning of the 19th century in the French Alps, the Arve River valley - the cradle of watchmaking and precision mechanics.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the family workshop grew into the Anthoine Émile et Fils factory with two production sites and acquired an industrial scale, strengthening its reputation in metal processing, the production of mechanisms and watch parts.

By the middle of the 20th century, it began producing its first dental instruments using lathes originally designed for the production of watch screws. This is how the Anthogyr brand appeared, which combined in its name the surname of the founder of the business Anthoine - “Antho” and “gyr” - from the Greek “to spin/turn”.

In 1947, the Anthogyr brand separated from its parent brand and became a completely independent business focused on dentistry.

Over the next decades, the company produced various high-tech products and solutions for dentists. By the 1980s, Anthogyr had seriously expanded its product range: the company's engineers began to develop advanced solutions not only for dentistry, but also for spinal orthopedics, eye surgery, and even for the aerospace industry.

Successful experience in these areas with exceptional requirements for quality and precision in production allowed Anthogyr to launch the production of dental implants for other companies in 1983.

Gradually increasing its expertise in creating products for implantation, in 1997 Anthogyr began production of its own line of Anthofit dental implants.

The high quality and functionality of the first Anthogyr implants were highly appreciated, so in 2006 Anthogyr decided to focus its interests on dental implantology and already in 2009 introduced the new Axiom® implantation system.

In 2022, Anthogyr became part of the Straumann Group family.

In the Russian market, the core of Anthogyr's portfolio is the Axiom® implantation system, which is trusted by doctors around the world. We will talk about this implantation system further.

How to choose the best dental implants and not overpay?

Currently, in the arsenal of dentists you can find a variety of models and brands of dental implants. At the same time, price remains a priority for many patients. However, this figure may vary significantly depending on the manufacturer's rating. For example, the cost of premium Nobel and Strauman systems is almost twice the price of products presented by Israeli and South Korean manufacturers.

In turn, budget-class implants are characterized by high rates of osseointegration, as they are made of high-quality titanium material and have an improved surface (for example, SLA). This indicates the possibility of using dental systems from the economy segment in classical cases, since they also allow excellent aesthetics and proper re-creation of functional characteristics. It is possible to use such designs in extraordinary situations, but for people with sufficient financial resources there is no point in wondering which implants are better. The answer is obvious: premium segment systems.

When developing such systems, modern technologies are used that make it possible to fix them even in the presence of limiting factors. In turn, the patient can count on a more effective and prolonged result.

It is more advisable to use premium quality implants in the following situations:

With significant loss of bone tissue;
When recreating missing teeth in the frontal area, when it is necessary to achieve impeccable aesthetics;
If the patient has allergic reactions to titanium material;
In the presence of narrow interdental spaces.

We deal with premium Straumann systems, which have a shortened osseointegration period. In addition, their installation is allowed even in the absence of sufficient bone tissue. Our dentistry also uses budget analogues of implants - from the Israeli manufacturer Alpha Bio and the Korean Osstem - which allow you to get an identical result, but at more reasonable prices.

One system for all clinical cases

The Axiom® Implant System includes a portfolio of implants, a wide range of prosthetic components and thoughtful instrument sets to address a variety of clinical needs.

The Axiom® implant line is represented by three models - PX, REG, 2.8. What makes these implants different from other brands?

Anthogyr Axiom® implants are made from cold-processed medical grade titanium. To improve the ability of titanium to osseointegrate, Anthogyr specialists use a special BCP® technology, in which the implant body is treated with two-phase calcium phosphate.

The osteoconductive potential of this material has been well studied, proven and widely used in the production of bone replacement materials. BCP® technology reduces surface contamination and reduces acid etching time for cleaning, which has a positive effect on cleanliness and creates a unique microrelief of the implant surface.

Thanks to the use of BCP® technology, the adhesion of cells around the implant body and their ability to grow increases, successful osseointegration is achieved in more than 99% of cases.

Axiom® REG and PX

REG and PX implants have a common prosthetic platform, common surgical and orthopedic kits, and are designed for subcrestal placement.

REG is a cylindrical-conical implant with a wide range of indications, designed for installation in any type of bone. Featuring a progressive asymmetric thread, the implant has self-tapping properties, controlled insertion and high primary stability.

The PX is a conical implant with an aggressive deep thread and a penetrating apex. This shape facilitates rapid, controlled insertion and excellent primary stability when inserted into very soft bone or immediately after tooth extraction.

Axiom® 2.8

The narrow two-piece Axiom® 2.8 implant is designed for specific clinical conditions. It is designed for installation in the incisor area with limited bone tissue.

The 2.8 implant has a self-tapping thread, which provides controlled, controlled insertion and high primary stability. A distinctive feature is the maintenance of a diameter of 2.8 mm throughout the entire length of the implant up to the orthopedic profile. For controlled installation of orthopedics on the 2.8 implant, a special SafeLock tool is used.

Strong and tight connection

The Axiom® Unified Platform is based on a durable, sealed 6°, 3mm deep delta cone with a triangular indexed positioning system. It ensures high stability of the superstructure and absence of rotation. Tightness is achieved due to the tight fit of the congruent surfaces of the abutment and implant due to the “Morse cone” effect. In this way, the doctor can be confident in the long-term mechanical stability of the implant-abutment connection and the reliable isolation of the implant from bacteria.

Another important feature of the Axiom® line is that the conical connection has a “built-in effect” of platform switching, which helps preserve surrounding bone tissue and form a circular gum collar.

Design Features of the Anthogyr Axiom System

Biocompatibility of titanium implants subjected to HRV sandblasting

Citeau et Coll45 in 2003 conducted an in vitro study on the biocompatibility of titanium surface sandblasted with HRV. The MC3T3-E1 bone cell culture was planted onto the surface treated in this way. No cytotoxic effects on bone cells were observed during the study. Another in vivo study on rat femoral epiphyses compared the body's response to titanium surfaces sandblasted with HRV and alumina. In the first case, contact osteogenesis was noted. On smooth surfaces, as well as surfaces sandblasted with aluminum oxide, instead of contact osteogenesis, fibrous degeneration took place.

Sanz et Coll [47] implanted titanium screws in rabbits, the surface of which was sandblasted with phospho-calcium apatite particles. The study results included excellent implant-bone contact and the absence of fibrous tissue.

Finally, Goyenvalle [48], through animal studies, further confirmed and provided evidence that sandblasting the implant surface with HRV particles creates an ideal rough surface that promotes rapid and effective osseointegration.

Wide range of orthopedic components

Anthogyr's portfolio includes a wide selection of orthopedic components. Thus, orthopedists have six types of abutments at their disposal to implement all types of prosthetics:

temporary abutments for creating temporary structures;
aesthetic abutments for cement fixation with a special asymmetrical neck;
standard abutments for cement-retained crowns and bridges;
titanium bases for creating single digital restorations, including for CEREC;
Locator abutments for creating removable dentures;
multi-unit abutments for creating extended screw-retained structures.

Anthogyr abutment range

Axiom® REG and PX implants have a common prosthetic line. They have one 2.7 mm orthopedic platform, so the process of selecting and installing any orthopedic components is simple and straightforward.

One orthopedic platform 2.7 mm for REG and PX implants

Unlike most implant systems, the Axiom® concept is based on the principle of maximum individualization in the selection of components for prosthetics and is already implemented at the level of gum formers.

Thus, Anthogyr gum formers have two variable heights - Gh (height of soft tissue formation) and Ch (height of the superstructure above the mucosa). Taking into account the different diameters, there are a total of 36 former options for one implant platform. This assortment allows the doctor to select the component that most accurately meets the requirements in a specific clinical situation.

Dimensional characteristics of Anthogyr Axiom® healing abutments

All subsequent superstructures in the orthopedic protocol, whether titanium bases, temporary or permanent abutments, correlate with the gum formers and have a permanent profile. This allows you to create a healthy eruption profile, preserve the hard tissue surrounding the implant and achieve the desired aesthetic result.

Another important element of the Anthogyr system's care for the health of soft tissues is the transfer rings for supporting and recording the gum profile, which prevent the collapse of soft tissues during impressions and allow their anatomy to be correctly depicted on the model.

Perfection in everything

The Axiom® Implant System features technological excellence and a wide range of components, as well as carefully thought-out ergonomics, making it easy and comfortable to operate.

The Anthogyr company has specialized in the invention and production of dental instruments for more than 70 years. This unique experience is reflected in the Axiom® line of implant and prosthetic kits.

To work with Axiom® REG and PX implants, a single universal surgical and orthopedic kit has been developed, and a separate specialized kit has been developed for the Axiom® 2.8 implant.

Axiom 2.8 Implant Kit

Axiom® system tool kits are housed in compact plastic boxes with rubberized sides and a transparent lid. When opened, the top part of the lid folds back and is used as a stand, bringing the box into an inclined position.

The layout of all elements is ergonomic and logically consistent, which makes working with the Anthogyr Axiom® system simple and understandable at any stage.

The desire to make the work of doctors easier even in small things and innovations in technological design are embodied not only in instrument sets, but also in the packaging of implants. Each implant is placed in a secure plastic box. Its lid can be easily opened with one finger and comes with a cover screw. The implant is easily removed using the contra-angle handpiece and, if necessary, placed back into the packaging, maintaining sterility.
