Surface Enhancements
MTX™ Microtextured Titanium Surface
Zimmer Dental's MTX surface enhances bone apposition for long-term success.
AdVent 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 roughened surface is proven to enhance bone attachment.¹
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. |
