INDUSTRY Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | July 2016 B3 Glidewell Dental announces release of 3.2-mm-diameter tapered implant AD By Glidewell Dental Staff G lidewell Dental, a leading provider of dental products, implant solutions and lab services, recently announced the Inclusive® Tapered Implant (www. inclusivedental.com/Implants/Inclusive TaperedImplants.aspx) is now available in a 3.2 mm diameter. In a continuation of the company’s commitment to provide practitioners with the tools they need to achieve pre- dictable results in a wide variety of clini- cal situations, the new implant size in- corporates a narrow-diameter apex and was designed to ease positioning in areas of limited anatomical space, such as up- per lateral incisors, lower incisors and narrow ridges. With the latest addition, the Inclusive Tapered Implant is now available in 3.2 mm, 3.7 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.7 mm and 5.2 mm diameters. The new 3.2-mm-diameter implant includes a 3.0 mm prosthetic platform, a design feature engineered to increase soft-tissue thickness at the abutment- implant connection, which can facilitate crestal bone preservation. Featuring an industry-standard, internally hexed con- ical connection, the implant is compat- ible with popular prosthetic components and instrumentation. The implant’s deep conical interface encourages lateral stability, while its cor- onal micro-threads increase the surface area available for bone-to-implant con- tact at the crest of the ridge. The tapered body of the implant and buttress threads are designed to engage and gently com- press the bone, increasing primary sta- bility and aiding the osseointegration process. The addition of the 3.2 mm implant is accompanied by the release of an all-new surgical kit, which has been redesigned for greater simplicity, durability and ease ofuse,andexpandedtoaccommodatethe full range of Inclusive Tapered Implants.
