Zimmer crestal options

Zimmer Dental, a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, has introduced the newest member of its Tapered Screw-Vent Implant family.To read more about Zimmer Dental, go to Zimmer Dental.The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant with full texturing and crestal microgrooves is designed to create favorable conditions for marginal bone preservation and optimal clinical outcomes. Built with the clinician in mind, this new implant is compatible with the Tapered Screw-Vent Surgical Kit, surgical protocols, and prosthetic components. The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant with full texturing and crestal microgrooves extends the MTX surface texturing to the top of the implant.This maximizes surface area for bone-to-implant contact and includes crestal microgrooves on the collar of the implant, designed to create favorable conditions for marginal bone-level maintenance. Preservation of marginal bone is a key factor in positive patient outcomes and esthetic results. The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant with full texturing and crestal microgrooves also leverages Zimmer Dental’s proprietary Platform Plus Technology. This proprietary technology creates favorable conditions for bone-level maintenance, while the internal hex, friction-fit connection shields the abutment screw and crestal bone from concentrated occlusal forces. The lead-in bevel reduces horizontal stresses more effectively than flat “butt-joint” connections, and the 1.5-mm deep internal hex distributes bite force deep into the implant.“The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant has provided long-term clinical success for more than 10 years,” said Harold C. Flynn Jr., Zimmer Dental president. “By expanding this flagship product line with an implant that offers full texturing and crestal microgrooves, we have reinforced our promise of quality and innovation, and have given clinicians the flexibility to manage a broad range of cases.” For more information, call (800) 854-7019 or (760) 929-4300 (outside the U.S.), or visit www.zimmerdental.com.To comment on this product, go to community.pennwelldentalgroup.com/.
