The Certain ® QuickSeat ® Connection - Certain SeatingSeating impression copings andabutments can be a hit-or-missproposition that almost always requiresa radiograph to confirm proper seating.The QuickSeat Connection uses asystem of engagement fingers thatconfirms proper seating immediately.When you hear and feel the click, thecomponent is properly seated and thehexes are aligned.Pick-UpTwist LockThe Pick-Up Impression Coping IsDedicated To The Pick-Up (Open Tray)Technique, While The Twist LockImpression Coping Is Universal AndCan Be Used For Both Transfer(Closed Tray) And Pick-Up Techniques.Straight Abutments EngageThe 6-Point HexPre-Angled Abutments EngageThe 12-Point HexPositive Seating – Tactile Fingers Produce An Audible And Tactile Click,Immediately Assuring Correct Seating.2

Flexible Placement -Mountless Design And 30˚ Rotational CapabilityThe 6/12-point positioning design of theCertain ® Implant System provides 6-pointpositioning for straight abutments, whiletaking advantage of BIOMET 3i’s 15˚Pre-angled GingiHue ® Post with 12-pointhex machining. This allows you toposition the angled abutment at every 30˚of rotation, which adds up to four timesmore flexibility than other internalconnectionsystems permit.With a maximum rotationalmisalignment of only 15˚, the anglecorrection of implants placed atcompromised angles is much easier.The benefits to your patients and yourpractice are significant:For surgeons, this offers greater ease andflexibility when placing the implant;there’s no need to place a “dot” at thefacial. The implant can be placed inany rotational position, withoutcompromising restorative aesthetics.Competitor Type APotential DegreeOf Error 60˚More Aesthetic RestorationsElimination Of Custom AbutmentsIn Most CasesReduced Chair And Laboratory TimesCompetitor Type BPotential DegreeOf Error 30˚Certain ImplantPotential DegreeOf Error 15˚Streamlined Delivery – WithMountless, No-Touch Delivery,There Is No Need To Remove AMount And Your Options AreExpanded.

Uncompromised Stability-Deep, Multi-Level Engagement ZoneHex12-PointDouble HexClick Zone4mmExtensive comparative testing hasshown that the deep, 4.0mm multi-levelengagement zone achieves a precise,secure connection with low torquerequirement for the retaining screw.Thick coronal walls also enhance theconnection’s long-term integrity.The strength of the Certain ® Implant isthe result of superior designconsiderations and manufacturingprocesses. The Certain Designmaximizes strength by reducing stressrisers through the combination ofsubtle geometric transitions,minimization of sharp corners and theuse of supporting bores forstabilization of the implant andabutment connection. Optimumclamping force is achieved at 20Ncm oftorque using BIOMET 3i’s Gold-Tite ®Hex Screw.The Certain Connection With 20Ncm Is StrongerThan The External Connection With 35Ncm.*Fatigue Testing Demonstrates That The CertainImplant Is Stronger Than The Proven OSSEOTITEExternal Connection Implant.**Data On File4

The Certain ® Implant System -Now With The Latest Generation Surface TechnologyThe NanoTite Certain Implant builds on the success of the OSSEOTITE ®Surface by creating a more complex surface topography and maximizingthe potential biological benefits of Calcium Phosphate (CaP).Through a solution-based form of particle self-assembly called the DiscreteCrystalline Deposition (DCD) Process, individual deposits of discretecrystals of CaP are deposited onto the implant and occupy approximately50% of the OSSEOTITE Substrate Surface*. In doing so, the DCD Processalso increases the micro-surface area by 200% † , providing greater microcomplexity,which renders the surface Bone Bonding ® by the interlocking ofthe newly formed cement line matrix of bone with the implant surface.NanoTite DCD ProcessPreclinical studies demonstrate a substantial improvement on the rate andextent of osseointegration for the NanoTite Implant versus the OSSEOTITEImplant leading to implant stability*.NanoTite Surface at 20,000x magnificationProven Predictability -The BIOMET 3i Family of ImplantsAdding to the restorative predictability of allCertain Implants are these important implantand component features:• Available in NanoTite ImplantConfigurations With Discrete CrystallineDeposition (DCD) Process In A ModifiedHybrid And Full NanoTite Configurations• Also available With Traditional OSSEOTITESurface Implant Configurations In FullOSSEOTITE And Hybrid OSSEOTITE• ICE And Spiral Ice Designs Allow ForFaster Placement, Improved Stability AndReduced Insertion Torque• Gold-Tite ® Hexed Screw Has DemonstratedSignificant Increases In Clamping ForceVersus Standard Titanium OrGold-Palladium Screws*Date On File†Suttin Z, Gubbi P.
