The Zimmer Dental MTX™ surface enhances bone apposition for higher long-term
success rates.
Tapered SwissPlus implants with the MTX surface are grit-blasted
with a soluble, biocompatible medium. The implant is then cleansed with a mild acid
wash that removes any residual microblast powder. The MTX process produces
a uniform 1-2 micron surface roughness that exhibits 44% more surface area than
machined titanium.
The MTX process does not weaken the titanium implant body, ensuring that
the strength of the implant is maintained. Furthermore, implant threads are not
rounded by the MTX process, and cutting grooves remain intact for efficient
self-tapping.
