Implant restorations are a significant investment and your patients have high aesthetic expectations. The gray projection through the gingiva common with the use of titanium abutments can compromise those expectations. The solution is the GingiHue Post, which unlike common titanium abutments, has a gold-colored titanium nitride coating that provides a warm, natural color through the gingiva, apical to the restoration.
The titanium nitride (TiN) coating is created by a plasma coating process in which titanium and nitrogen ions are combined with titanium nitride, then molecularly bonded with the titanium substrate of the GingiHue Post. TiN was first used in the medical device industry in the 1980s. Throughout the years, biocompatibility testing has been conducted on TiN and this testing, as well as subsequent clinical applications, have demonstrated that titanium nitride is biocompatible and appropriate for use in implantable medical devices that come in contact with bone, skin, tissues or blood.
