MTX™ Microtextured Titanium Surface
Zimmer Dental's MTX surface enhances bone apposition for long-term success.
AdVent implants with the MTX surface are grit-blasted with a soluble,
biocompatible medium. The implant is then cleansed with a mild acid wash that removes
any residual microblast powder. The MTX process produces a uniform 1-2
micron surface roughness that exhibits 44% more surface area than machined titanium.
The roughened surface is proven to enhance bone attachment.¹
The MTX process does not weaken the titanium implant body, ensuring that
the strength of the implant is maintained. Furthermore, implant threads are not
rounded by the MTX process, and cutting grooves remain intact for efficient
self-tapping.
MP-1® HA Dual Transition Selective Surface
Advent MP-1 HA implants include 2mm of MTX microtextured titanium between the smooth machined neck and the HA coated midsection for soft tissue maintenance. The apical 3mm of the implant also features the MTX surface for efficient self-tapping.
The MP-1 HA coating is designed specifically to allow for secure bone apposition.
MP-1 HA coated implants exhibit more than twice the removal torque values as compared to uncoated implants.²
Zimmer Dental's MP-1 process creates a stable HA coating that is proven to outlast competitive HA coatings.³
