Implant system launch

The new agreement further extends the company’s range of solutions for the implantological daily-routine.

Implantology is an integral part of many dental treatment concepts. In order to offer its customers high-quality products in this sector, Henry Schein Dental will act as the exclusive supplier of the Oktagon implant system, including two additional modern implant lines from DRS International.

Rox-Cera Cerid implant with ceramic coating

The Oktagon Rox-Cera implant (bone and tissue level) is made of a grade-5 titanium core and additionally ceramic coated, which supports the long-term stable osseointegration.

The enossal part of the implant is provided with a ceramic, opaque, biocompatible wear- and corrosion-protection layer. The oxides of zirconium are thermodynamically and biochemically stable. Friction corrosion is avoided, and the shear strength of the surface is increased compared to the pure nium surface.

The transgingival part of the tissue-level implant is coated with a spontaneously self-passivating, biochemically stable titanium-niobium-oxynitride layer. The high-level layer hardness protects against injuries caused by instruments. The smooth surface counteracts possible plaque formation.
