ARTISAN™ Socket Preservation Screw
The Socket Preservation Screw implant is a potential breakthrough for cosmetic dentistry as it allows specialists the ability to preserve gum tissue architecture and anatomy while still protecting a bone graft. The Socket Preservation Screw allows for a simpler surgical approach by eliminating the need to perform a second flap to re-enter.
- Preserves the integrity of an oral extraction socket
- Maintains space and protects bone graft material
- Preserves architecture of papilla anatomy
- Eliminates need for flap surgery thus saving the surgeon time
- Multiple sizes available to fit various patient's anatomy
- Easy access into hard bone due to aggressive self-drilling ability
- Unique threading allows stabilization after 3mm of engagement
- Complications with these implants could cause additional bone loss or decreased bone density
ARTISAN™ Tenting Screw
ARTISAN™ Tenting Screws, used individually or in multiples, are designed to support overlying gingival tissue and protect graft materials in regions of the oral cavity requiring bone augmentation.
- Unique umbrella shape provides ideal soft tissue support, preserving architecture and protects graft material
- Highly-polished screw head minimizes potential for wound dehiscence
- Unique treading aggressively engages bone and stabilizes quickly in only 3mm of bone
- Features a stab-n-grab technology ensuring product sterility
- Additional surgery may be necessary to correct any potential adverse events
ARTISAN™ Titanium Mesh
- Malleable and easily-contoured, intraoperatively, to more accurately fit a patient's defect area
- Maintains contoured form and fixation to avoid micro-motion so bone healing may occur
- Strong, yet shapeable
- 0.2mm mesh thickness provides stability while 0.89mm pore diameter allows graft site vascularity
- Sheet size: 76mm length x 44mm width, 0.2mm thickness, 0.89mm pore diameter
- As with surgeries involving metallic implants there is a chance for foreign body sensitivity. Where material sensitivity is suspected appropriate tests should be made to rule out this possibility prior to implantation.
