NanoTec^TM Implant Surface

The implant surface is key in achieving optimal Osseointegration. It is well documented that the surface characteristics of implanted materials can influence the healing and growth of tissues adjacent to the implant surface. After more than 5 years of intensive research Alpha-Bio Tec has developed a superior NanoTecTM surface for its implants. Alpha-Bio Tec's NanoTecTM implant surface is a sandblast large particles acid etched surface. The NanoTecTM implant surface enables the absorption of blood directly into its micropores immediately after the implant placement.The NanoTecTM implant surface promotes healing and growth of tissues adjacent to the implant surface, thus accelerating and improving the osseointegration process. Alpha Bio Tec's NanoTecTM implant surface is treated with sand blasting to create a macro surface of 20-40 micron. Afterwards it undergoes a double thermal acid etching process to create micro pitting between 1 to 5 micron with nano-pitting. The implant surface then undergoes a treatment to build a titanium oxide layer. Retrospective clinical data shows that Alpha-Bio Tec's implants achieve an overall clinical success rate of 98.3% and a 99.6% clinical success rate when using the immediate loading procedure. NanoTecTM advantages: • Increased early bone to implant contact • Increased stability • Shortened healing period • Higher predictability
