Dr. Thomas Laux developed the TSA (The Biomechanical Abutment) to address issues with rigid implant abutments. The TSA abutment allows for micro-movement to absorb forces from chewing in a way that mimics natural tooth mobility. Clinical studies show the TSA abutment prevents overloading of implants and reduces the risk of complications. The multi-component TSA system provides varying levels of friction to suit different clinical situations.
