industry Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | September 2015B10 AD OsseoSpeed Profile EV: Offering 360-degree bone preservation, even in sloped ridge situations When a standard implant is placed level with the lingual bone, the implant neck is exposed buccally, compromising soft-tissue esthetics. By DENTSPLY Implants Staff It is well-documented that crestal bone resorbs after tooth extraction or tooth loss. Often resorption is pronounced on the buccal side, resulting in a lingual- to-buccal sloped ridge. This situation occurs even if a stan- dard implant is immediately placed in the extraction socket. Because bone-to- implant support is three-dimensional, it is important to have marginal bone support around the entire implant. Preserving the buccal and lingual marginal bone in a sloped ridge situa- tion will also positively influence me- sial and distal marginal bone levels, which optimizes soft-tissue esthetics. The OsseoSpeed Profile EV is a unique* implant specially designed to follow the existing bone in sloped ridge situa- tions, maintaining soft-tissue esthetics and helping to reduce the need for bone augmentation, DENTSPLY asserts. Simplicity and accuracy throughout your workflow The OsseoSpeed Profile EV offers: • Flexibility through a wide range of implant options: Available in straight and conical implant designs, 8–17 mm. • Simplicity of an one-position-only* placement of all indexed components: The unique one-position-only place- ment for ATLANTIS patient-specific abutments and indexed prefabricated abutments makes the entire treatment procedure simple and predictable, from implant placement to the connection of the final abutment. • Self-guiding* impression compo- nents for an accurate and predictable workflow: This design provides a time- efficient installation procedure and a predictable workflow between the clini- cian and dental technician. • Supported by a full range of digital solutions: Digital solutions are available from the planning to the final restora- tion, offering the possibility of working with a completely digital workflow.

OsseoSpeed Profile EV is placed level with both buccal and lingual marginal bone, preserving soft-tissue esthetics and helping reduce the need for bone augmentation.
