Implants - Science

Thanks to 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.

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.

For dentists, and for patients.



Our philosophy

You can count on Dentsply Sirona Implants for solid scientific documentation and reliable clinical results. Our products have been documented for a range of clinical indications, surgical applications and prosthetic solutions. Ongoing clinical research and product development is directed towards treatment of more demanding and advanced situations, as well as towards alternative protocols for increased patient comfort during treatment.

These efforts are supported by the important information we get from pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies. In fact, our comprehensive portfolio is supported by more than 2,000 peer-reviewed articles. The data present exceptional results for efficacy and reliability including:

High implant and prosthetic success and survival rates.

High accuracy of implant placement for computer-guided implant treatment.

High osseoconductive and resorbable properties of our regenerative materials.

Maintained marginal bone levels and healthy peri-implant soft tissues.

"Thanks to science, we now have an industry that’s able to help millions of people every year.”

Published results

Minimal bone loss and excellent survival rates

Excellent 10-year clinical results for immediately loaded OsseoSpeed implants placed in the edentulous mandible. In this long-term prospective study no implant losses occurred and peri-implant bone levels were kept stable over time in the majority of cases.

Behind the success story of Acuris

Successful clinical results with the conometric concept, the foundation for the Acuris development. Three clinical studies reported stable retention, high survival rates and stable bone levels after up to 5 years follow-up.

Similar clinical results for short and longer implants

Short OsseoSpeed implants show similar clinical results as longer implants placed in combination with sinus floor elevation over a 5-year observation period. In addition to excellent clinical performance, benefits such as less patient morbidity in the short-term, reduced treatment time and costs were noticed for the short implant treatment group.

"Thanks to science, we have changed people's lives."
