Zimmer Dental Angled Tapered Abutment Expands Restorative Options
Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of the Zimmer® Angled Tapered Abutment—a line extension which provides clinicians with the flexibility to place implants off-axis (i.e., tilted) and choose from multiple surgical protocols, including immediate load, screw-retained restorations to best meet the specific restorative needs of their patients.
Available in 15- and 30-degree angle configurations, the Zimmer Angled Tapered Abutment promotes angulation correction for off-axis implant placement, repositioning the restorative platform to facilitate insertion of the prosthesis. The abutment’s 1.2mm low-profile cone is ideal for use in cases with limited interocclusal space, while the cone’s 15-degree taper allows for additional angulation correction. The ability to place implants off-axis aids in maximizing the use of available bone, avoiding the alveolar nerve and sinus, and minimizing the cantilevers for the prosthesis in multi-unit, partially and fully edentulous screw-retained restorations.
The user-friendly Zimmer Angled Tapered Abutment’s multiple cuff heights enable the clinician to select the size that best meets the patients’ soft tissue measurements. Furthermore, this new abutment has exhibited exceptional strength and durability in testing compared to other popular brands1, and is fully compatible with Zimmer Dental’s existing restorative components and the renowned Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant System, for greater convenience.
“These new Angled Tapered Abutments broaden our restorative portfolio and give clinicians even more flexibility in choosing surgical protocols to best meet the needs of their patients, restore their mouth function, and enhance their quality of life,” said Harold C. Flynn, Jr., Zimmer Dental President. “At the end of the day, our focus, first and foremost, is on giving our customers the tools they need to improve their patients’ lives.”
For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide who count on its comprehensive line of products to deliver successful patient outcomes.
