Implant Design and Surface
Features
SLA Surface Properties
At 6 week the bone healing response to the SLA
surface is excellent and histology confirms new
bone ingrowth has occurred and is occupying
the space between the threads.
This type of rapid bone formation is essential
to the success of early loading and the
development of secondary fixation.
Faster and enhanced osseointegration is
developed through the maintenance of intimate
bone contact with the implant surface during the
early stages of integration.
At three weeks the pure SLA facilitates bone
contact with the implant surface following
insertion ensuring primary fixation.
A SLA surface produced by sandblasting and
double etching process, produces an
homogenous rough surface with a 1.8 micron Ra.
This type of surface micro-texturing has been
shown to promote and stimulates early bone
attachment to the implant surface. Energy-
dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXA) confirms
that the implant surface is free of
biocontamination which can result in poor bone
to implant surface contact and even failure to
achieve osseointegration.
Implant Design Features and Philosophy
The implant system has been developed
in accordance with the six critical factors
that influence the process of
osseointegration.
material biocompatibility
geometry of the implant
surface of the implant
implant host bone condition
surgical technique
loading conditions
Electron microscopy shows intimate bone contact
and healing response to the SLA implant surface.
