Dental Implant Surface Treatments: What You Need to Know
September 17, 2021
Welcome to the Mucointegration™ era. Surface chemistry cells can’t resist.
Introducing Xeal and TiUltra – two breakthrough surfaces derived from our decades of applied anodization expertise. From abutment to implant apex, we have reimagined surface chemistry and topography to optimize tissue integration at every level.
Surface chemistry and topography that are specially designed to promote soft tissue attachment.1,8
Surface chemistry to enhance cell attachment.1,8
Preserve the soft tissue attachment without compromising flexibility.
Key to the original All-on-4® treatment concept.
Roughness, porosity and surface chemistry are important factors for tissue integration. Especially surface chemistry plays a vital role in enhancing cell attachment.9-11
Ideal tissue integration isn’t just about surface roughness, it’s about how every surface reacts with the tissue around it. TiUltra is an ultra-hydrophilic, multizone, anodized implant surface with a gradual topography from collar to apex.9,12,13
TiUltra features a gradual change in topography, becoming moderately rough and porous towards the implant apex.9
At collar level, the TiUltra surface is minimally rough, non-porous and nanostructured. Its golden hue is a happy byproduct of the specific oxide thickness achieved during anodization.9
TiUltra applied in the collar region features surface chemistry and topography that promote early osseointegration and are designed to support bone stability.9,14
The surface chemistry and hydrophilicity of both Xeal and TiUltra is preserved with the Protective Layer. This ensures that every implant and abutment arrives in pristine condition – to you and to your patients.8,9
An implant like no other.
A simply straightforward implant system.
Proven performance, enhanced esthetics.
Surface chemistry cells can’t resist.
