Zimmer IngeniOs

Zimmer Dental, a provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, has announced an exclusive agreement with curasan AG to globally distribute synthetic bone grafting materials to the dental market under the IngeniOs brand. IngeniOs HA Synthetic Bone Particles are a 100% nonbiologic, pure-phase hydroxyapatite bone substitute for filling bone defects in a number of dental procedures. This includes alveolar ridge augmentation, guided tissue regeneration, extractions, and sinus lifts. With up to 80% porosity and minimal resorption over time, IngeniOs HA is designed to provide long-lasting support of vascularized bone formation and exhibits radiopacity for X-ray identification. For clinicians interested in a 100% nonbiologic, resorbable solution, Zimmer Dental offers IngeniOs β-TCP Bioactive Synthetic Bone Particles. This silicated grafting formulation offers the potential for increased bioactivity and is designed to resorb in balance with replacement by naturally regenerating mineralized bone. IngeniOs β-TCP Bioactive, also radiopaque, has up to 75% interconnected porosity to help enable ingrowth of healthy bone tissue. Like IngeniOs HA, IngeniOs β-TCP is indicated for a variety of dental procedures, including alveolar ridge augmentations, filling periodontal defects, extractions, and sinus lifts.Zimmer Dental Angled Tapered Abutment expands restorative optionsThe IngeniOs product line expands Zimmer Dental’s regenerative portfolio (which includes a variety of allograft and bovine options for hard- and soft-tissue augmentation procedures) with viable synthetic hard-tissue regenerative options. “Zimmer Dental continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to improving patients’ lives,” said Harold C.
