T3 Dental Implants Benefits

Contemporary Hybrid Implant Design

PRIMARY STABILITY^6,7,8

Initial Bone-to-Implant Contact is a major contributor to the implant’s stability.⁹ The specifications of the T3 Implant are held to rigorous tolerances to provide a closely integrated implant-to-osteotomy fit, creating a dental implant system that helps to achieve primary stability.

NO INCREASED PERI-IMPLANTITIS RISK¹²^,¹³

The T3 Implant utilizes the proven Osseotite® Surface technology at the coronal aspect of the implant. In a five-year study**, the dual acid-etched surface of the Osseotite Implant presented no increased risk of peri-implantitis or soft-tissue complications versus a machined surface.¹²

OSSEOINTEGRATION¹⁰^,¹¹

In preclinical studies*, the T3 with DCD Surface demonstrated increased integration strength throughout the healing phase as compared to less complex surface topographies.¹¹

T3 Dental Implants Features

Built for stability and optimized placement

Contemporary Hybrid Surface

Coarse and Fine Micron Surface Features Create an Average Mean Surface Roughness Value of 1.4 μm in the Threaded Portion of the Dental Implant.¹⁴

Coarse and fine micron features
Fine micron features on the dental implant collar
Option for nano-scale features along the full length of the dental implant

Integrated Platform Switching

Integrated platform switching medializes the implant/abutment junction (IAJ) inward, creating a biologic width between connective tissue and the IAJ, helping to maintain bone levels.²⁰

Reduced crestal bone loss
Reduction in crestal bone remodeling vs. non platform-switched dental implants²²

Seal Integrity

A stable, tight implant/abutment interface minimizes abutment micromotion and reduces potential microleakage.¹⁵

Seal integrity test was performed by Biomet 3i July 2011 - June 2012. In order to test the dental implant systems, a dynamic - loading leakage test was developed and executed. The test set-up was adapted from ISO14801, Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic Fatigue Test for Endosseous Dental Implants.
