BTI UniCca® Surface

Product catalog summary

Introduction to UnicCa® Surface:
UnicCa® is a specialized surface treatment for BTI implants, recognized for its high-quality materials and surface purity, as evidenced by the CleanImplant Foundation Mark. This surface involves a chemical modification with calcium ions over a triple roughness structure, enhancing osseointegration and reducing bacterial colonization.

Surface Specifications:
The UnicCa® surface features a triple roughness topography that adapts to different implant areas (neck, threads, valleys) to meet various tissue and biomechanical needs. High roughness allows bone anchorage outside the threads, while medium roughness guides bone growth between threads, maintaining mechanical properties.

Chemical Modification:
UnicCa® is chemically modified with calcium ions, which significantly improves osseointegration rates. It is important to note that UnicCa® is not a calcium titanate or calcium-phosphate/hydroxyapatite coating.

Benefits of UnicCa® Surface:

Electropositive, Clean, and Hydrophilic: Initiates regenerative processes immediately.
Improves Peri-Implant Bone Stability: Reduces implant failure.
Minimizes Bacterial Adhesion: Attenuated roughness reduces bacterial colonization.
Stimulates Osteogenic Activity: Enhances bone formation and extracellular matrix synthesis.
Osteogenic Properties: Accelerates and improves osseointegration, especially in low-density and poorly vascularized bone.

Combination with Endoret® (PRGF®):
When combined with Endoret® (PRGF®), UnicCa® shows statistically significant improvements in bone-implant contact, as demonstrated in various animal models (rabbit femoral condyle and sheep tibia diaphysis).

Conclusion:
UnicCa® surface technology offers significant advancements in implant osseointegration and stability, making it a leading choice in dental implantology.

WHAT IS UNICCA®? ATTENUATED ROUGHNESS: Enhances marginal tissue retention, reducing bacterial colonization. UnicCa® is the surface of BTI implants that consists of a chemical modification with calcium ions over its triple roughness. Threads HIGH ROUGHNESS: Allows bone anchorage outside of the threads. Valleys MEDIUM ROUGHNESS: Guides the bone growth between the threads maintaining the implant’s mechanical properties. UNICCA® SURFACE, CERTIFIED PURENESS BTI UnicCa® is the first implant system in the market awarded with the CleanImplant Foundation Mark, as a guarantee of the highest quality of...

◄ CHEMICAL MODIFICATION WITH CALCIUM IONS Recent studies demonstrate that implants with the unicCa® surface obtain significantly higher osseointegration rates in less time. [1] DO NOT CONFUSE UnicCa® is not a calcium titanate nor a calcium-phosphate/hydroxyapatite coating.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF THE UNICCA® SURFACE? 1. UNICCA® IS ELECTROPOSITIVE, CLEAN AND HYDROPHILIC -> benefit: it immediately initiates the regenerative process [2-5]. -> benefit: reduces implant failure. (13) 3. UNICCA® MINIMIZES BACTERIAL ADHESION -> benefit: the attenuated roughness in the coronal area along with the use of Endoret® (PRGF®) significantly reduces the bacterial colonization (in vitro study). (14) 4. UNICCA® STIMULATES OSTEOGENIC ACTIVITY -> benefit: bone forming cells synthetize significantly, resulting in a greater extracellular matrix (in vivo and in vitro studies) [4, 6-9]...
