This Tapered Implant 

Makes A Strong Impression 

Expanding the universe of dental implant innovations is our 

mission. With this in mind, BIOMET 3i has combined our 

knowledge of implant dentistry and nanotechnology to 

launch a new addition to our NanoTite Implant Family Of 

Products. 

Designed for optimal performance, the NanoTite Tapered 

Implant offers: 

A True Tapered Shape – The 

NanoTite Tapered Implant 

closely approximates the 

shape of a natural tooth root. 

An Innovative Thread Design – 

Thread angle, depth and pitch 

produce an anchoring “bite 

in bone” response providing 

initial stability throughout the 

length of the implant, while 

maximizing Bone-To-Implant Contact (BIC). 

A Domed Apical End – Potentially reduces trauma in areas 

where implant placement closely approximates vital 

structures such as the alveolar nerve or sinus membrane. 

Ease Of Insertion With Spiral Incremental 

Cutting Edge – Self-tapping with progressive cutting edges 

in a helical pattern with trailing thread relief. 

Surgical And Restorative Flexibility – The NanoTite 

Tapered Implant is conveniently color-coded for easy 

identification and is available in the Certain ® QuickSeat ® 

Internal Connection and external hex configurations.

In An Atmosphere All Its Own 

With the new NanoTite Tapered PREVAIL ® Implant, 

clinicians get to the root of the issue.

Why A NanoTite Tapered Implant? 

The complex architecture at the nano-scale renders the NanoTite Implant 

a Bone Bonding ® Surface by the interlocking of the newly formed cement 

line matrix of bone with the implant surface. 

Preclinical studies indicate that the NanoTite Implant nanotopography 

provides a greater rate and extent of osseointegration as compared 

to the OSSEOTITE Surface*. In addition, the true tapered design of this 

implant closely approximates a natural tooth root. The combination of 

these features provides clinicians with significant treatment options for 

cases to include: 

• Immediate And Accelerated Loading Protocols 

• Immediate Placement In Extraction Sockets 

• Sites With Convergent Roots Of Adjacent Teeth 

• Cases With Ridge Concavities 

• Simultaneous Grafted Sites And Implant Placement 

• Implant Placement With Sinus Lift Procedures 

• Aesthetic Areas Where Bone Preservation Is Critical 

• Locations Requiring Short Or Wide Implants 

• Soft Bone (Type IV) 

A study began in February of 2006 to 

evaluate the preparation and placement 

of BIOMET 3i’s enhanced Tapered 

OSSEOTITE ® Implants. Twelve centers 

reported results on 133 patients and 208 

implants (123 tapered implants, 85 nontapered 

control implants) with four reported 

failures to date. This evaluation has led to the 

development of the new NanoTite Tapered 

Implants now available from BIOMET 3i.*

A Bone Bonding ® * Surface That’s Out Of This World 

The NanoTite Implant builds on the success of the OSSEOTITE ® Surface by creating a more complex surface topography 

and maximizing the potential biological benefits of Calcium Phosphate (CaP). 

For more than 10 years and with documentation from numerous global multicenter clinical evaluations, the OSSEOTITE 

Surface has proven to be one of the most predictable and well-researched surfaces 1-8 . Clinical studies on the 

OSSEOTITE Surface continue to document the benefits of increased Contact Osteogenesis, especially in poor-quality bone.

Through a solution-based form of particle self-assembly called the Discrete Crystalline Deposition (DCD ) Process, 

individual deposits of discrete crystals of CaP are deposited onto the implant surface and occupy approximately 50% 

of the OSSEOTITE Substrate Surface 9 . In so doing, the DCD Process also increases the micro-surface area by 200% 10 , 

providing greater micro-complexity for new bone attachment and formation. 

The DCD Process 

1. Nanometer-scale, ultra small particles of highly crystalline 

Calcium Phosphate (CaP) are suspended in the solution 

2. These particles are then prompted to “Self-Assemble” 

onto the implant titanium oxide surface 

3. This results in discrete crystal deposits of 20-100 Nanometers 

in length on the dual acid etched OSSEOTITE Implant Surface. 

The shear strength of crystal attachment to the OSSEOTITE 

Surface exceeds the minimum shear strength value of 34.5 

MPa, set by the ASTM standard (F 1609-03) for attachment 

of traditional HA coatings to implant surfaces

Why is there a need for a tapered implant featuring a more complex surface topography? 

“When I have to treat difficult cases, most of the time I use BIOMET 3i’s 

Tapered Implant due to its design to achieve primary stability. This is very 

important because the development and the mastery of modern implant 

surgery are based on very good implant fixation. For example, in an 

immediate implant placement after an extraction, the BIOMET 3i Tapered 

Implant can achieve initial stability even with a limited amount of initial 

bone; another very good indication is the presence of a thin ridge. For me, 

the BIOMET 3i Tapered Implant contributes to reducing my stress in any kind 

of implant surgery.” 

“BIOMET 3i’s Tapered Implant is the most widely used implant in my 

practice. Because of its versatility, it is suitable for cases involving poor 

quality bone (e.g., Type III and IV). I also use it to increase the level of 

primary stability in regenerative procedures with advanced surgical 

techniques and with sites that present specific anatomical configurations.”

A New Phase Changing The Atmosphere Of Success 

A comprehensive series of animal 

studies was performed on the 

NanoTite Implant. One animal model 

demonstrated 160% increase in BIC 11 

versus the OSSEOTITE ® Implant. 

Additionally, the microtopography 

of the OSSEOTITE Surface, combined 

with the DCD Process renders the 

NanoTite Implant a Bone-Bonding ® 

Surface. 

Preclinical Studies 

Human histology studies have 

also demonstrated an impressive 

amount of BIC around the NanoTite 

Implant Surface.

“Certainly these results are incredible. I don’t think it’s because we’ve discovered a new 

phenomenon in biology, but certainly the interface which has been created between bone 

and this particular implant surface is quite different from anything ever seen before.”

Site Preparation That Is In A World By Itself 

BIOMET 3i’s NanoTite Tapered Implant Surgical Instrumentation provides options that facilitate effective treatment 

planning and a successful patient outcome. 

Complete Color-Coding For An Intuitive Protocol 

Every element of the NanoTite Tapered Implant System — surgical tray, Quad-Shaping Drills (QSDs), Depth/Direction 

Indicators (NTDIs), bone taps and implants — is color-coded for easy identification. In addition, the packaging 

has been carefully designed to facilitate optimal delivery efficiency. 

Precision QSD Shaping Drills And NTDIs 

• Designed to match each implant’s diameter and 

length for proper preparation, confirmation and 

implant placement 

• Stepped drill design allows for better visibility of crestal 

and subcrestal reference 

• Four thin-cutting flutes facilitate cutting stability 

and decrease friction 

• Pointed end tip allows for vertical downward cutting 

“The NanoTite Tapered Implant is designed to achieve 

primary stability in all bone qualities, including soft bone. 

The implant requires more insertion torque to properly 

seat within the osteotomy site. Therefore, it is mandatory 

to use the hand ratchet to take full advantage of the 

unique design features of this implant.”

• Corresponding Depth/Direction Indicators (NTDIs) ensure 

appropriate depth and angle for every osteotomy performed

Optimal Site Preparation, Confirmation And Fit 

The specifications of the NanoTite Tapered Implant and 

the corresponding QSDs and NTDIs are held to rigorous 

tolerances to provide a more closely integrated implantto-osteotomy 

fit. 

New Full Length Dense Bone Taps 

When placing the NanoTite Tapered Implant, the need to 

tap the osteotomy may arise, especially in dense bone. 

BIOMET 3i has developed a new Dense Bone Tap Kit. This 

kit has a specific tap that matches each NanoTite Tapered 

Implant for optimal site preparation. 

What is the significance of improved 

surgical instrumentation? 

Quad Shaping Drills are designed to improve the 

precision of the osteotomy. Depth indicators allow me 

to simulate the ultimate position of the implant in the 

prepared osteotomy. The combined use of these 

instruments is designed to minimize placement 

sensitivity of the implant.
