Titanium bonding bases that turn a milled zirconia crown into a screw-retained restoration. Ti-6Al-4V precision in Engaging and Non-Engaging geometries, with gingival heights from 0.5 to 4.0 mm — matched to the platforms of major implant systems.
Every Auralis Ti-Base starts from the same Ti-6Al-4V blank and the same bonding chimney. What changes is how it meets the implant — and how high the collar rises through the tissue.
The single-tooth base. An internal hex engages the implant connection and locks the crown against rotation — the standard choice for one-piece screw-retained crowns.
The multi-unit base. The hex floats free, so every base seats fully on its own implant even when the angles diverge — splinted bridges, bar-retained overdentures and full-arch frameworks.
One collar does not fit every sulcus. Six gingival heights let the crown margin follow the soft-tissue contour — subgingival in the aesthetic zone, supragingival where hygiene matters more. As a rule of thumb, the bonding interface should sit 0.5–1 mm subgingivally.
A Ti-Base is the metal half of a hybrid crown: the zirconia coping is cemented onto the titanium chimney, and the assembly seats directly onto the implant — no screw channel through fragile aesthetics, no cement line left subgingivally in the mouth.
Bonding takes place on the fully sintered, densified zirconia crown — the titanium base never enters any sintering or crystallization furnace. Post-sinter bonding with an MDP resin cement is the most common laboratory route.
Connection geometries are machined to the platform dimensions of the major implant systems placed across Southeast Asia — one Ti-Base family, no loyalty to a single implant brand required.

The titanium-to-zirconia bond is a materials-science problem that has already been solved — mechanical retention at the surface, chemical retention in the cement. Three habits keep it that way.
Airborne-particle abrade the chimney (≈ 50 μm Al₂O₃), then steam-clean — mechanical retention starts at the surface.
Apply an MDP-containing metal primer or resin cement; seat the zirconia coping with firm pressure and remove the excess.
Keep the screw channel free of cement; at delivery, seal it with PTFE tape and composite after final torque.
Final torque of the prosthetic screw follows the matched system (typical range 15–35 Ncm) — always per the system manufacturer's IFU. A system reference card ships with the goods.
Compatibility charts, gingival-height selectors and sample kits are available for partner labs and clinics across Southeast Asia.
