Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent Implant Turns 10
Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of its renowned Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant. With more than two million units sold worldwide, the flagship product has built a solid reputation of trust and performance. Seven prospective studies on Tapered Screw-Vent Implants have reported cumulative success rates of more than 99 percent1-7.
Available in 3.7mm, 4.1mm, 4.7mm, and 6.0mm sizes, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant’s proprietary, friction-fit, internal hex platform reduces stress on crestal bone and resists abutment screw loosening. With triple-lead threads, MTX™ and MP-1® HA surfaces, and a tapered implant body, the versatile Tapered Screw-Vent Implant is the platform of choice for thousands of clinicians. And because of its initial implant stability, it also enables immediate restorations and immediate loading where clinically appropriate.
A variety of prosthetic options are designed for the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant to meet the demanding restorative needs of today’s clinicians, including the titanium Hex-Lock® Contour Abutment and the Zimmer® Contour Zirconia Abutment (in straight and angled designs), and the recently launched Hex-Lock Short Abutment. Surgical and Drill Stop kits, drills, motors, restorative tools, and regenerative offerings, as well as world-class education through The Zimmer Institute, are also available to provide a multifaceted and comprehensive oral rehabilitation solution.
