KAT Dental Implant System: Ultimate Connection Made Predictable

KAT Implant System Background
KAT Implant was developed out of a need for a true single platform system with exceptional strength and flexibility. We also wanted to build this system around a locking taper connection – connection considered by many to be the ultimate one for implant dentistry.
In early stages of development we realized that in order to achieve these goals, a separate part, a key, had to be machined and fitted inside the abutment to allow for a shorter post and zero rotational play.
KAT (Key Assisted Transfer) System was born at that moment. It took more than three years to develop multiple prototypes and final products, design and implement appropriate tests, develop a new impression technique and get FDA approval to market KAT Implant System. We now invite you to share our excitement for a truly unique implant system.
KAT Implant System Surgical Advantages
KAT Implant System has several unique capabilities that make surgical aspects of the implant treatment more convenient and predictable.
1. Patent pending single platform allows the use of the same instruments for placement and temporization of all implants – from a 2.5mm mini to a 5.0mm diameter implant.
2. Smaller diameter implants may be used in a site that would otherwise require width augmentation. The strength of KAT implants, due to solid body design, is superior to the strength of conventional two-piece implants. 3.5mm implant was able to withstand 5 M cycles of 425 N force. NobelActiveTM 3.5mm implant can withstand only 222 N and is not recommended to be used in the posterior region. NobelActiveTM 4.3mm implant can withstand only 355 N 1. Because of its extremely high strength and large surface area, KAT 3.5mm implant may be used in a molar region if bone quality is adequate.
3. Shorter implants may be used in sites with limited bone height. Due to a patent pending combination of apically converging fins and deep threads, KAT implants have a larger surface area than conventional screw type implants.
4. No microgap between the abutment and the implant due to locking taper connection.
5. Increased soft tissue thickness due to a 3.1mm diameter of the implant post.
6. Bacteria-proof seal between the implant and healing abutment is accomplished with only 15 Ncm of torque – no more loose healing abutments and soft tissue inflammation from leaking toxins.
7. Temporary prosthesis can be fabricated and attached to the healing abutment using HALTTM technique. Trauma to soft tissue is minimized because the healing abutment has to be removed only once.
8. Increased cancellous bone volume around the implant’s coronal end due to aggressive fins.
KAT Implant System Restorative Advantages
KAT Implant System was designed to provide the restorative dentist with a range of capabilities not available with any other implant system.
1. Single platform for implants ranging from 2.5mm to 5.0mm allows the use of the same restorative instrumentation.
2. All implants, even 2.5mm mini implants, can receive all abutments. Abutments range from 4.2 to 6.5mm in diameter.
3. Patent pending Pick-Up AbutmentTM acts as an open tray coping to eliminate dimensional discrepancy between the impression coping and the abutment, and between the implant analog and the implant.
4. Patent pending Pick-Up AbutmentTM impression method makes locking taper connection accurate, predictable and reproducible.
5. Locking taper connection is activated with a torque wrench at 15 Ncm – no tapping with the hammer is needed.
6. No microgap between the implant/healing abutment and the implant due to locking taper connection.
7. Increased soft tissue thickness due to a 3.1mm diameter of the implant post.
8. Bacteria-proof seal between the implant and healing abutment is accomplished with only 15 Ncm of torque – no more loose healing abutments and soft tissue inflammation from leaking toxins.
9. Temporary prosthesis can be fabricated and screw-retained over the healing abutment using patent pending HALTTM ( Healing Abutment Level TemporizationTM) technique, even at the time of surgery. Trauma to soft tissue is minimized because the healing abutment has to be removed only once.
10. Patent pending Pick-Up AbutmentTM indexing method insures the passive fit of screw-retained prosthesis.
