RePlant® System

The bodies of the RePlus and ReActive implants are tapered evenly from the top to facilitate insertion into an undersized socket in soft bone providing compression that increases initial stability (G. Niznick: Clinical Oral Health 2000 “Achieving Success in Soft Bone”).

The RePlant implant is designed with a straight/tapered profile matching that of the NobelReplace Implant (Nobel Biocare). Minithreads start 1.0mm below the crest of the bone and extend approximately 2.0mm before transitioning into double-lead threads to the apex of the implant.

The mini-threads, half the depth and pitch of the double-lead body threads, reduce stress in the critical crestal bone region, while double-lead threads reduce the number of turns required to seat the implant.

Vertical cutting grooves extend halfway up the implant from the apex for self-tapping insertion. All three implants are available with SBM textured surface over the entire implant and HA is an option for RePlus and ReActive.

SBM™ and HA Coated Surface Options

SBM surface is created by using a Soluble Blast Media of Hydroxylapatite (HA) crystals to create a medium-rough texture. We use the same vendor for its SBM and HA coated surface treatments as used by Paragon Implant Company from 1992-2000 when these studies were conducted.
