P R O D U C T I N N O V A T I O N SOne Nano Step For Man,One Giant Leap For Implant Dentistry…Introducing The NanoTite ImplantThe NanoTite Implant is a novel surface designed for enhancedimplant integration and performance:• Synergy Of The OSSEOTITE ® Surface And Discrete CrystallineDeposition Of Calcium Phosphate (CaP) – More ComplexTopography And The Biologic Benefits Of CaP May Play A KeyRole In Enhanced Site Response, Potentially Improving ClinicalPredictability And Outcomes• Preclinical Studies Demonstrate A Substantial Improvement On TheRate And Extent Of Osseointegration For The NanoTite Implant VersusThe OSSEOTITE Implant*• Potentially Improved Bone Fixation Leading To More Steady StateImplant Stability During The Critical Early Healing Phases - MayImprove Predictability In More Challenging Clinical Cases*Why Is The NanoTite Implant Different?It all starts with the proven OSSEOTITE Surface and it gets better witha nano-scale calcium phosphate Discrete Crystalline Deposition(CaP DCD ) Surface Treatment.NanoTite Surface at 20,000x magnificationThe OSSEOTITE Surfacehas more than 10 yearsof clinical experiencemaintaining high successrates in various cases*.The NanoTite Implantbuilds on this successby incorporating thepotential benefitsof calcium phosphates.Traditionally, CaP has been plasma sprayed on the implant surface,which may lead to the potential for adverse events such as delaminationand periimplantitis. However, the total amount of CaP material on aNanoTite Implant is so small that it measures less than 20 micrograms.This characteristic substantially distinguishes the NanoTite Implant fromtraditional plasma-sprayed CaP coatings, which have approximately20,000 micrograms of CaP.In addition, DCD increases the micro-surface area by approximately200%, providing greater micro complexity which may be conducive tobone regeneration.Pre-clinical Studies Indicate Superior Bone-To-Implant FixationSeveral preclinical studies indicate the synergy of the OSSEOTITESurface and DCD creates an environment conducive to an improved rateand extent of osseointegration not duplicated when applying DCD to amachined surface*.NanoTiteCertain ® ImplantNanoTitePREVAIL ® Implant• The NanoTite Certain Implant is amodified hybrid where the coverageof both the OSSEOTITE Surface andthe nano-scale crystals go up tothe base of the implant collar• The NanoTite PREVAIL Implantincorporates integrated PlatformSwitching TM and has the OSSEOTITESurface and the nano-scale crystalsto the top of the collar, creating acontinuous bone-loading surfaceSo How Does The NanoTite Implant Benefit You?The NanoTite Implant may be your step forward with:• Immediate And Accelerated Loading Protocols• Immediate Replacement In Extraction Sockets• Simultaneous Implant Placement In Grafted Sites• Aesthetic Areas Where Bone Preservation Is Critical• Implant Placement In Poor Quality Bone• Locations Requiring Short Or Wide ImplantsFor A Giant Leap Forward In Implant Dentistry, Call Your LocalBIOMET 3i Sales Representative Today.*Data on file2
