IMPLANTS SURFACE

SURFACE

Worldwide scientific research has proven that the implant surface plays a pivotal role in achieving osseointegration. It  has been well documented that surface characteristics of implanted materials highly influence the healing and growth  of tissues adjacent to the implant surface.  

Alpha-Bio Tec.'s implants are made of Titanium alloy Ti 6Al 4V ELI, a strong, durable and highly biocompatible material.  Years of intense research and development lead Alpha-Bio Tec. to develop NanoTecTM implant surface for optimized  osseointegration. 

NanoTec implant surface is achieved through a process that involves sandblasting and a double thermal etching for the  creation of micropores (sized 1-5 microns). This unique process creates a high surface area differentiation, increases  the three-dimensional (3D) surface area and thus, enables a more intense absorption of blood and plasma proteins  directly into the implant's micropores immediately after its placement.  

The micro-structure and roughness properties of the implant surface created by the sandblasting and double acid  etching process, greatly influence the initial contact with the host bone.  

The NanoTec process creates a high surface area which contributes to: 

• Early osseointegration immediately after placement 

• High long-term BIC (Bone to Implant Contact) 

• Increased secondary stability 

• Higher predictability
