IMPLADENT STI-Bio-C BIOACTIVE TITANIUM since 1999 • HYDROPHILIC • NANO STRUCTURED • OSSEOCONDUCTIVE The unique alkali-treated bioactive surface of the STI-Bio-C implant accelerates the process of boneimplant contact formation, providing the implant with increasing secondary stability at the earliest stages of healing. This phenomenon helps to reduce the healing time and enables early and immediate loading to become a predictable and safe treatment protoc

IMPLADENT STI-BIO-C Bioactivity has been defined as the characteristics of an implant material that allows it to form a bond with living tissues1. It was first detected in the late sixties: in a group of materials called bioactive glasses, which bonded to bone within days. Machined-smooth titanium can be regarded as a bio-inert material that becomes encapsulated by soft tissue and forms a direct contact with bone (osseointe-gration) only under certain conditions and after long time periods2. Since the discovery of osseointegration, the history of dental implantology has been closely linked with...

BIOACTIVE TITANIUM SINCE 1999 What makes Bio surface unique? Contact of three implant surfaces with blood (left: sand-blasted large grit Surface area of Bio surface in comparison with other tested surfaces. acid etched, center: anodized, right: Bio; arrows mark the level of the highest blood implant contact) 4,5,14 The surface treatment used in the preparation of the Bio surface increases the density of hydroxyl groups on the surface as compared to other measured surfaces . The level of hydration of the Bio surface was higher by roughly an order of magnitude compared to that of other surfaces5,14...

IMPLADENT STI-BIO-C Bio surface - ideal substrate for new bone formation 5 The surface modification creates a macro-rough, micro- and nano-porous surface structure, which exhibits a 138-fold increase of surface area compared to a smooth implant surface (4). The presence of the hydroxyl groups is of great importance for the ion interaction of the implant surface (5) with blood. The Bio surface rich in active hydroxyl groups induces calcium phos phate adsorption (bone apatite formation) when in contact with blood plasma6. This property was also observed on fluoride treated titanium implants7. The...

BIOACTIVE TITANIUM SINCE 1999 Cell response to the Bio surface Cell response to three implant surfaces ('machined', 'sand-blasted+acid-etched', 'Bio') 8 was evaluated in an in vitro study using a cell culture of osteoblast-like cells. The results indicated the effect of the bioactive surface on cell attachment and osteoblastic differentiation. The Bio surface showed a significantly higher percentage of attached cells compared to sand-blasted+acid-etched and 7 machined titanium surfaces An osteoblastic cell spreading Cell attachment to the Bio surface in comparison with machined and sand-blasted+acid...

BIOACTIVE TITANIUM SINCE 1999 Bioactive surface clinically documented Reduced healing time of Impladent implants with bioactive surface11. Šimůnek A. (Assoc. Professor M.D., Ph.D., Stomatology Clinic Hradec Králové, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the success rate of STI-Bio implants for which the standard healing time was reduced by half (6 weeks in the mandible, 12 weeks in the maxilla). During the monitored period (March 2002 to December 2003), a total of 1092 implants with Bio Implant stability after insertion and during loading (mean values...
