Dentsply Sirona – OsseoSpeed Profile implants

Newly published results on OsseoSpeed Profile implants show optimized bone preservation, increased soft tissue volume and regain of keratinized mucosa in patients with compromised soft tissue conditions (width of less than or equal to 2 mm at postoperative visit).

Dr. Robert Nölken, co-author of the study, explained: “We have seen a great deal of improvement on the peri-implant soft tissue in our research follow-up. This allows us to achieve a good esthetic outcome for patients with thin biotypes.”

The study—prospective, two-year, multi-center—investigates OsseoSpeed Profile implant survival rate, soft and hard tissue maintenance following placement in healed sites of the posterior mandible.
Twenty-four centers, 184 patients and 238 implants are included in the study.

Marginal bone preservation is an important factor to achieve excellent esthetic results. OsseoSpeed Profile EV is a uniquely shaped, patented implant specifically designed for sloped ridge situations. The OsseoSpeed Profile EV implant is placed level with both buccal and lingual marginal bone, where the design supports the soft tissue by preserving marginal bone 360 degrees around the implant.
