ZimVie Announces Publication of a Study Supporting the Benefits of Its Implant Surface Technologies
January 30 2025 - 7:00AM
ZimVie Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIMV), a global life sciences leader in the
dental implant market, today announced the publication of a
detailed scientific study demonstrating the surface texture of
ZimVie’s premium implants may help to lower the risk of
peri-implant infections when compared to other commercially
available implants.
The study, titled “The Role of Implant Coronal Surface
Properties on Early Adhesion of Streptococcus Oralis—An
In Vitro Comparative Study,” has been published in the Journal
of Biomedical Materials Research, a leading journal in the field of
biological and medical sciences. The study evaluated the innovative
dual acid-etched coronal surface technology of ZimVie’s T3® PRO and
TSX® Implants against other leading implant brands.
In dental implantology, rough surfaces at the top of the
implant, designed to maintain crestal bone levels, may also promote
bacterial adhesion. This potentially leads to soft tissue
inflammation and peri-implant bone loss, jeopardizing long-term
implant success. The new data reveals a critical threshold
roughness, above which bacterial adhesion increases significantly,
while below that, bacterial adhesion profiles remain comparable to
smooth machined surfaces. ZimVie’s implants’ coronal surfaces, DAE
and Osseotite®, have been engineered around this threshold. These
surfaces not only exhibit bacterial adhesion levels comparable to
machined surfaces but also demonstrate crestal bone maintenance
akin to rougher surfaces.*
“The prevalence of peri-implant mucositis (inflammation) and
peri-implantitis has been on the rise in recent decades,” said Hai
Bo Wen, Research Director at ZimVie. “We have always been committed
to the highest standards of quality and patient safety and are
proud that ZimVie’s Contemporary Hybrid Surface technologies have
demonstrated success in helping mitigate this concern in today’s
dental implantology
field.” About
TSX Implants
Launched in 2022, TSX Implants are designed for immediate
extraction and standard loading protocols as well as placement
predictability and primary stability in soft and dense bone. The
Implant incorporates features with more than two decades of
real-world, clinical data to deliver peri-implant health, crestal
bone maintenance, long-term osseointegration, and prosthetic
stability,* including the Contemporary Hybrid Surface
combination with coronal DAE. Integrated with ZimVie’s end-to-end
digital workflows and engineered with surgical and restorative
versatility, the TSX Implant furthers ZimVie’s commitment to
simplify procedures and optimize practice protocols.
About T3 PRO Implants
Launched in 2022, the T3 PRO Implant’s advanced design delivers
high primary stability and allows for immediate function. T3 PRO
has a hybrid surface featuring the proprietary
Osseotite surface on the implant collar, as well as a rougher
grit-blasted implant body. Not only have multiple long-term,
independent clinical studies on the proprietary Osseotite surface
demonstrated safety and performance,* they have also demonstrated
the effect of this surface in preserving crestal bone. This
Contemporary Hybrid Surface of T3 PRO along with the optional
integrated platform switching design has also been shown to provide
early and long-term peri-implant bone support.* References on file
