Science

Eating, drinking, chewing or simply being is no longer a challenge. After 30 years of research and over 2,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications, we can confidently say that we've changed implant dentistry.

Because a dental implant is not just a screw, it is a magic key to the most fantastic experience: an everyday life without dental problems.

Thanks to science, we have given new groups of patients access to dental implants with our state-of-the-art products and solutions. Our groundbreaking innovations have created millions of smiles and taken away pain and discomfort for patients all across the globe. And there is no better way of proving our research than showing a happy person enjoying life. Our scientific approach changes lives for the better. Today, and tomorrow. For dentists, and for patients.

OsseoSpeed is #1 in marginal bone maintenance

In the first meta-analysis looking at how three of the most popular premium implant surfaces influence the marginal bone level, there was a statistically significant difference between the surfaces.

The conclusion of the study is that the OsseoSpeed surface (Astra Tech Implant System) demonstrates superior marginal bone maintenance, which is vital to achieving the best possible functional, biologic and esthetic outcomes over the long term.

Highest predictability with OsseoSpeed

In addition, the study clearly indicates that OsseoSpeed has higher predictability in maintenance of the marginal bone, i.e. showing less variation around the mean and less spread.

A recent meta-analysis concludes there is a statistically significant difference between three premium implant surfaces. And OsseoSpeed is the outright winner, when looking at maintenance of marginal bone after one and five years.
