Giacomo Fabbri: New anodized surfaces designed for tissue integration at every level

Video highlights

The new TiUltra and Xeal surfaces
Tailoring the implant surface to meet the needs of the hard and soft tissues to promote optimal healing

Dr. Fabbri discusses the benefits of the new TiUltra^TM and Xeal^TM. He explains the Mucointegration^TMconcept and the clinical benefits it offers. This idea of combining the benefits of the On1^TM abutment with the new surface allows undisturbed soft tissue healing. By tailoring the implant surface to meet the varying needs of the hard and soft tissues you promote optimal healing. This is acheived through varying the roughness, morphology, and surface chemistry throughout the implant.

asked by Scott Garrison

When placing the implant with the TiUltra surface do you also try to not contaminate it but not using irrigation?

Yes, you want it to come into contact with blood. Slow insertion speed ensures that the friction during insertion does not overheat and damage the tissue so lack of irrigation should not be an issue.

The anodization and the smear layer thickness increase in the apex area? if does, why don't we have a colour change?

I think it is interesting that we are retrofitting bone level implants...

and we are doing this with more components. There are implant brands with different transmucosal machined distances. This is only a way to retrofit an Active implant to get better bone rather than reworking the implant. If you place a transmucosal implant where you want it and place a screw retained fully contoured restoration, you have achieved the same thing without further possible expense, complexity and components to deal with. This is a solution to a problem created by the marketplace. Bone level implants are not ideal in all locations but they are heavily promoted. Basically we are going back in time with more complexity and I don't think this is the best for patients in the long run.
