Welcome to the Mucointegration™ era

 

The first titanium implant was placed over 50 years ago. A lot has changed since then. 

Learn about the latest in surface science and technology. 

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.

Xeal and TiUltra

Xeal – The pioneering Mucointegration™ surface1-3

It is a smooth non-porous, nanostructured and anodized abutment surface and possesses surface chemistry and topography that are specially designed to promote soft-tissue attachment.1,4

 

TiUltra – More than roughness

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.5,6,7

TiUltra features a gradual change in topography, becoming moderately rough and porous towards the implant apex.5

NOW AVAILABLE WITH TIULTRA AND XEAL
