What’s behind the documented success of the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System? For starters, its friction-fit internal hex platform reduces stress on crestal bone and resists abutment screw loosening, thus creating favorable conditions for bone level maintenance.^1-3 Delivering initial implant stability, it also enables immediate restorations and loading where indicated and clinically appropriate. And with its versatility to treat a myriad of cases, documented results and other great features, the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System has given peace of mind to thousands of clinicians just like you.

Clinical versatility.

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.

Documented results.

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:

Results may vary depending on patient selection and clinician experience.

An implant platform designed for success.

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.^1-3

• A lead-in bevel and 1.5mm deep internal hex reduce horizontal bone stresses and distribute forces deep within the implant, thereby shielding the retention screw from excessive loading^1-3

• The proprietary friction-fit component of the connection virtually eliminates abutment micromovement (a primary cause of screw loosening) when tightened to the recommended 30 Ncm of applied torque.¹ This means fewer return patient visits, less chair time, and increased patient satisfaction
