Simpler Implants
When placing implants, one always tries to maximize support and minimize loads, especially during the initial healing. The MAXiMini revolutionary design allows more surface area per thread and more threads per length of the implant when compared to other smalldiameter implants. If the bone width is available, you can then place a widerdiameter MAXiMini, which is available in the 3.0mm size as well as wider 4, 5, and 6mm diameters. By choosing the increasedsupport MAXiMini, you are maximizing the support while minimizing the load at the same time. For more information, call (800) 5653559.
Dentatus
The Atlas System uses no orings, no housings, and no adhesives. It is designed for longterm use to effectively retain and stabilize dentures. This onehour chairside procedure is the only system on the market that eliminates the hardware typically associated with overdentures.
