AB Dental’s HydrOsseo Package lets you transform any AB Dental implant into a super-hydrophilic one in just 60 seconds, improving osseointegration, healing, and implant success rates – and thus boosting your customer satisfaction, loyalty, and clinic reputation.
The HydrOsseo treatment removes contaminants and impurities from the implant surface – even for sterilized implants – creating a safer implant environment.
The surface of dental implants is typically hydrophobic at manufacture. The plasma treatment clears the implant surface of hydrocarbons, making it significantly more hydrophilic – with all the associated benefits.
Hydrophilic implants can be used as a standard of care in all implantation processes, especially in the following cases:
Over the past 20 years, many clinical reports have been published supporting the advantages of hydrophilic implants. These reports are available online.
AB Dental has been and still investing many resources into clinical trials to provide further clinical evidence of the advantages of hydrophilic implants and the plasma device in particular.
No, the device is part of a premium kit and acts as the enabler, transforming any standard AB Dental implant into a hydrophilic one.
The plasma activator is intended only for AB Dental implants. Using any other type of implant will cancel the warranty on the device provided by the company.
Even implants that are marketed sterile by Gamma irradiation, Autoclave, or UV light can reach a higher level of cleanliness and hydrophilicity by plasma treatment and thus increase their potential for optimal osseointegration.
AB Dental's Hydrophilic package gives dentists a unique opportunity to provide an improved hydrophilic implant to patients whenever needed, wherever needed. This solution offers the dentists two main benefits:
Yes, all AB Dental implants can be activated to hydrophilicity – all diameters and all lengths.
Numerous studies found that hydrophilicity has a limited shelf life, and its effectivity deteriorates over time (sometimes as soon as one-week post-manufacturing). AB Dental's hydrophilic implants have the advantage of real-time activation, showing the adherence of water to the implant once it's activated and removing the shelf-life expiration limitation. AB Dental's solution ensures optimum hydrophilicity as well as surface cleanliness and reduced organic impurities.
Absolutely no. Hydrophilic implants have been shown to potentially improve osseointegration and hence can be leveraged for use in all implantation procedures. Moreover, plasma activation of implants has been shown to reduce organic impurities and return implants to manufacturing standards. The plasma process does not impair the implant surface roughness or its composition in any way.
The plasma activation process is done using a table-top device. It takes 60 seconds and can be done almost hands-free with one click on the device while preparing the patient for the treatment.
