Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System: Delivers Versatility and Choice

Product Summary:

The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System, from Zimmer Dental, 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 loosening, thus creating favorable conditions for bone level maintenance. ^1-3. Designed for initial implant stability, the system also enables immediate restorations and immediate loading where clinically appropriate.

Clinical versatility thousands count on.

Delivering fully integrated one-stage and two-stage solutions, one-piece implants and the latest in esthetics, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System offers the versatility to meet a multitude of clinical needs. Forming the basis of the system is the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant, which features Zimmer’s proprietary internal hex connection with lead-in bevel that has been in use for over 20 years. With its time-tested design and continuous innovations, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System provides both clinical and surgical versatility for a myriad of implant applications.

A time-tested design with almost a decade of clinical use.

With almost a decade of clinical use, seven prospective studies have cumulatively reported on 1,165 Tapered Screw-Vent Implants in 475 patients with the following results:

*Mean implant survival rates ranging from 95.45% to 100.00%, with a cumulative survival rate of 99.05% ^4-10

*Individual study mean bone level changes ranging from none ⁴ to -1.66mm ⁵

Results may vary depending on patient selection and clinician experience

Implants in the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System are designed to achieve high primary stability

These days, more and more patients expect to leave implant surgery with a tooth in place. Meeting such demands requires initial implant stability. With multi-lead threads, tapered bodies, and soft and dense bone surgical protocols, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System is designed to achieve high primary stability.

The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System has set the standard for implant-abutment platforms

Zimmer’s proprietary friction-fit internal hex connection is a unique combination of designs that has been shown to reduce stress on crestal bone and to resist abutment screw loosening, thus creating favorable conditions for bone level maintenance.

Esthetic restorations made easy

Offering a comprehensive array of implants, abutments, accessories and protocols, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System delivers the tools you need for easy and esthetic restorations.
