June 2015—Several clinical challenges are solved with the introduction of DENTSPLY Implants’
new treatment solution. Buccal and lingual marginal bone preservation in sloped ridge situations
are enhanced with the new OsseoSpeed Profile EV implant design.
“When we develop new implant therapy solutions, it is important that they meet actual clinical
needs. With these introductions, we can offer clinicians various solutions for compromised cases
related to marginal bone,” says Björn Delin, DDS, and Vice President Global Platform Implant
Systems at DENTSPLY Implants.
360-degree bone preservation in sloped ridge situations
Marginal bone preservation is an important factor to achieve excellent
esthetic results. However, it is a clinical reality that crestal bone resorbs
after tooth extraction or tooth loss. This resorption is often pronounced
on the buccal side, resulting in a lingual-to-buccal sloped ridge.
The new OsseoSpeed Profile EV implant is placed level with both
buccal and lingual marginal bone, where the design supports the soft
tissue by preserving marginal bone 360 degrees around the implant.
In addition, it may reduce the need for bone augmentation.
This is the second generation of the uniquely shaped, patented implant
specifically designed for sloped ridge situations that was first
introduced in 2011. The implant is now upgraded with the simplicity
and design principles of the ASTRA TECH Implant System EV and a
welcome addition to the portfolio.
