Approach:
Design Philosophy: The PrimeTaper® Implant System is based on a philosophy of strategic evolution, drawing on over 40 years of clinical experience and development from the Astra Tech Implant System.
Implant Features: The system features a progressively tapered design for predictable installation and incorporates proven technologies such as the OsseoSpeed® surface and MicroThread®.
Clinical Evidence: Supported by clinical evidence from the Astra Tech Implant System, including 5-year follow-up data involving 1,112 patients.
Workflow Integration: The system is compatible with Dentsply Sirona’s digital ecosystem, enhancing planning, surgery, and restoration workflows.
Key Findings:
PrimeTaper provides predictable, stable installation across various bone qualities.
The design supports marginal bone health and long-term predictability.
The system allows for seamless integration from impression to final restoration.
Available in multiple diameters and lengths to accommodate different clinical situations.
Limitations:
No implant design can eliminate biological and clinical variables inherent in treatment.
Clinical results depend on patient selection, site conditions, surgical technique, and treatment planning.
Conclusion:
PrimeTaper represents a compelling addition to Dentsply Sirona’s implant portfolio, focusing on primary stability and bone preservation.
