The Stella is intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, restoring the patient's chewing capabilities. The Stella is intended for delayed loading and immediate loading is possible when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.The Stella Abutment is intended to be connected to the dental implant to retain the overdenture or partial denture.
A sterile device made of alloplastic materials [e.g., titanium (Ti), stainless steel, ceramic] intended to be surgically implanted into alveolar and/or basal bone of the mandible or maxilla to provide support and a means of retention for a dental prosthesis (e.g., bridge, single-tooth, overdenture). It is a two-piece device composed of an anchorage component (implant body) in the form of a threaded screw that is implanted into bone, and a retention component (implant abutment), typically attached to the anchorage component after implantation, that protrudes through gingival tissues to support the prosthesis.
