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
P R O D U C T I N N O V A T I O N S C O N T I N U E DAnother Rapid Adjustment For A Winning SmileWhen you need an aesthetic designwith enduring strength, you have newoptions. PreFormance ® ProvisionalComponents now include the newExternally Hexed PreFormance Postsand Temporary Cylinders in additionto the Certain ® PreFormance Line.The PreFormance Post andTemporary Cylinder are made of astrong, biocompatible material calledPEEK (Polyetheretherketone) that iseasily customized to your patient’s tissue contours and anatomic profile.Intraoral preparation time is much faster and easier than with titanium andyour patients can leave with pleasing aesthetics the day of surgery. As acost-effective option for optimum tissue healing, PreFormance ProvisionalComponents offer some of the longest temporary in vivo use of polymerson the market at 180 days.Easy to use for immediate provisionalization of single and multiple unitrestorations, the PreFormance Post and Pre-Angled 15° PreFormance Postare available in 3.4, 4.1, 5 and 6mmplatforms. All are available in two collarheights of 4mm and 6mm; post heightis 7mm. The Pre-Angled PreFormancePost titanium insert allows for 12point positions.Additionally, the PreFormance TemporaryCylinders are available for longer lasting,immediate single and multiple-unitrestorations. The total height of thePreFormance Temporary Cylinder fromthe platform is 10mm.Both the PreFormance Post and theTemporary Cylinder are packaged withthe appropriate Hexed Titanium Screw.For high performance with immediateresults, please call your local BIOMET 3iSales Representative.External Hex–PreFormance PostExternal Hex–PreFormanceTemporary CylinderA Matter Of Degree … And A DayAct TwoFor another angle on conical abutments, look toour line of Conical Angled Abutments.* Debutingin Spring 2007, these will include the new 17°and 25° angles for single and multiple-unit,screw-retained restorations. These additionsoffer restoring clinicians a new option for anglecorrection and offer surgeons more choicesfor anatomical implant positioning.Additionally, the Conical 17° and 25° AngledAbutments will be included in the DIEM Guidelines for Immediate Occlusal Loading —expanding the clinician’s options when offeringpatients complete dental care in a day.The new 17° and 25° angles will be available in4.1 and 5mm platforms for versatility of implant17° 25°selection and in 2 and 4mm collars toaccommodate varying tissue heights.The new Conical Angled Abutments willbe available in both the External Hex andCertain ® QuickSeat ® Connections.Conical Angled Abutments with the CertainQuickSeat Connection are supplied with theCertain Hexed Titanium Screw (IUNIHT).The Conical Angled Abutments for externalconnection are supplied with a titanium screwfeaturing a beveled head. Both screws aretightened to 20Ncm.For more information, please call your localBIOMET 3i Sales Representative.17° 25°In addition to the Advanced CuttingTechnology ® (ACT ) Drills, BIOMET 3inow offers two new components formore accurate site preparation:The ACT Drill Extension (ACTDE)features a more positive lock on the drillshank and the drill is easily removed fromthe extension. Clinicians may purchase theACT Drill Extension as an individual itemand it replaces the DE016 in all BIOMET 3iSurgical Kits.The new ACT Pointed Starter Drill(ACTPSD) may be used to begin preparingthe osteotomy in lieu of a round bur. Thesharp pointed tip stays in place on thealveolar ridge to more accurately achievethe desired location of the osteotomy.Depth marks of 4, 7, 8.5 and 10mmprovide reference points when redirectingthe osteotomy in the socket after animmediate extraction.Certain Conical Angled Abutments*510(k) PendingExternal Hex Conical Angled AbutmentsFor more information, please call your localBIOMET 3i Sales Representative.Please Note: Not all products are available outside the U.S. Please contact your local BIOMET 3i Sales Representative for availability.3
