About the package

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.

Effects on the Implant

CLEANLINESS

The HydrOsseo treatment removes contaminants and impurities from the implant surface – even for sterilized implants – creating a safer implant environment.

HYDROPHILICITY

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.

Clinical benefits

Easy Work for the Dentist

Works with any AB Dental implant

60-second procedure – Press a button while you prep the patient

Portable, cost-effective method for enhancing implant outcomes

Potential benefit to periodontal treatments in areas with limited access to expensive implants

Extends implant shelf life

Does not damage grit-blasting and/or acid-etching surface treatments

FAQs

  • Accelerates osteoblast proliferation and bone regeneration, potentially leading to an enhanced osseointegration process and shorter recovery time
  • Increases bone-to-implant contact (BIC)
  • Promotes a sterile implant surface by eliminating harmful contaminants
  • Improves success of immediate loading of the restoration
  • Improve overall implantation success, especially in compromised bone patients

Hydrophilic implants can be used as a standard of care in all implantation processes, especially in the following cases:

  • Elderly patients with weak or insufficient bone
  • Patients with a relevant challenging medical history (diabetic) 
  • Patients with a relevant challenging background (smokers) 
  • Immediate loading or large post-extraction socket bony defect 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.

FAQs

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:

  1. The freedom to operate by removing the dependence on implant availability (distributor stock or manufacturer's stock) 
  2. The ability to improve implantation success by converting any AB Dental implant into a hydrophilic one in the clinic immediately prior to the implantation, and that way – avoid deterioration of the hydrophilicity that occurs in other similar solutions

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.
