Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System Delivers Versatility and Choice

Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to offer its renowned Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant System as a means of comprehensively satisfying a myriad of clinical needs. With its one-piece and two-piece implants, the Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant System provides versatility and delivers performance thousands count on, case after case.

Recently featured at the AO Annual Meeting in Boston, MA, where it was referred to as the implant of choice during several clinical presentations, the Zimmer® One-Piece continues to be a stellar member of the Tapered Screw-Vent family — providing 3.0mm, 3.7mm, and 4.7mm diameter solutions. The 3.0mm Zimmer One-Piece Implant, available in straight and angled designs, is the solution for implant placement in tight spaces. Its pre-contoured margins require minimal or no intra-oral preparation. A selection of corresponding caps and copings simplify the restoration process and add to the system’s flexibility and convenience.

For clinicians in need of a two-piece solution, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant incorporates the features and benefits of Zimmer Dental’s renowned Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System: friction-fit internal hex connection, triple-lead threads, both MTX™ micro-textured and MP-1® HA surfaces, and a tapered implant body. The versatile Tapered Screw-Vent Implant is available in 3.7mm, 4.1mm, 4.7mm, and 6.0mm sizes.

The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System has distinguished itself as a platform of choice. The proprietary friction-fit internal hex platform and lead-in bevel reduce stress on crestal bone and resist abutment screw loosening1-3. Designed for initial implant stability, the system also enables immediate restorations and immediate loading where clinically appropriate.
