Osseotite® Dental Implant System
Characterized by a 1 to 3 micron peak-to-peak surface created by a unique acid-etch process, the Osseotite Surface features are precisely sized to entangle the fibrin strands of the blood clot

The Osseotite® surface is characterized by a 1–3 μm peak-to-peak micro-roughness, created through a proprietary dual acid-etching process. The engineered surface microtopography supports interaction with the blood clot, enhancing the initial healing phase and the process of osseointegration.

Features

Benefits
- Optimized Fibrin Entanglement: The precisely sized surface features allow for the tight entanglement of blood clot fibrin strands
- Stronger Attachment: Because fibrin strands (which are sub-micron in diameter) can be captured tightly within the surface, the attachment between the blood clot and the implant is significantly strengthened
- Foundational Healing Support: By creating the strongest possible bond, the surface facilitates a more effective initial interaction with the blood clot, which is essential for the healing process
