IMTEC
Corporation offers four MDI implant sizes. The company’s 10mm, 13mm,
15mm and 18mm mini dental implants are all 1.8mm in diameter. Another
implant, the IMTEC MAX , is available it to three lengths for type 11
or 111 bone. The thread design enables it to bite deeper into the host
site. The MAX thread design will better engage very cancellous or marrow-filled
bone in primarily the maxilla, but also in other locations where the bone
may strip more readily and provide poor anchorage. These implants are
made of high quality titanium alloy, consisting of Ti-6AL-4V. In fact,
a 19997 test study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham clearly
established that the MDI titanium alloy implants the company sells are
much stronger than CP titanium products. More recently, the company commissioned
a torque and dynamic loading study from the Medical College of Georgia
at Augusta, which concluded that after 5,000,000 cycles of force\, each
ranging from 13 to 134 N at a sinusoidal rate of 8hz, there were no changes
detected in the submitted 1.8mmx15mm and 1.8mmx13mm MDI’s and furthermore,
no fractures. Copies of both reports are available upon request from the
company. |
