Trabecular Metal.pdf

Designed to enhance secondary stability through bone ingrowth, this material features interconnected porosity for high-volume ingrowth. Key Properties:

Up to 80% fully interconnected porosity for bone ingrowth
Similar structure to cancellous bone
Osteoconductive mid-section for bone ingrowth and ongrowth (osseoincorporation)

Zimmer Trabecular Metal Dental Implant:

Combines popular features of Tapered Screw-Vent Implant with Trabecular Metal Material
Designed for primary stability with tapered titanium alloy body
Features MTX Microtextured Surface for ongrowth and Trabecular Metal Material mid-section for bone ingrowth
Compatible with Zimmer Instrument Kit System and Tapered Screw-Vent prosthetic components

Osseoincorporation:

Refers to the healing potential of bone onto an implant surface and into an implant structure
Studies underway to document the process of osseoincorporation and its effects on secondary stability
Preliminary study shows evidence of ingrowth by maturing bone as early as two weeks after implantation

Clinical Cases:

Human clinical studies began in 2010, with data collection ongoing
Additional studies in progress to document osseoincorporation in humans and animals
* Examples of successful implant placements and restorations shown, including immediate loading cases.
