Implant Direct – NEW InterActive™

The new lnterActive™ system of conical connection implants and abutments designed by Dr. Gerald Niznick provides a platform compatible to the NobelActive and NobelReplace conical connection. The lnterActive abutments incorporate design modifications to help ensure full seating of the abutments without the necessity of confirming radiographs. Two other features also assist full seating. A piloting feature has been added to the bottom of the abutment’s hex to help guide insertion and an internal thread has been added to the abutment shaft to retain the screw while the abutment is rotated to a full seat in the implant's deep hex. The contour of the lnterActive abutments, transfers and healing collars have been designed for improved soft tissue management with a concave emergence profile. The lnterActive implant is available in four diameters with the same platform for the 3.2mm & 3.7mm implants as the NobelActive 3.5mm implant, and the same platform for the 4.3mm and 5.0mm implants as used with the NobelActive implants of these diameters. The platforms are color­ coded for easy identification with matching anodized cover screws, healing collars and transfers. The body of the lnterActive implant matches that of the successful Legacy2 implant with double Iead body threads over the tapered 2/3rds of the implant for faster insertion. These threads are flat based and become progressively deeper towards the apex for increased surface area. Three long vertical cutting grooves and tapered body with a round apex ensure the implant will follow the trajectory of the osteotomy and allow self-tapping insertion using dense-bone drills without the need for a bone tap. An additional design improvement incorporated into these new implants is the combination of coronal quadruple-lead micro-threads with the micro-grooves for enhanced crestal bone preservation and initial stability. The lnterActive's revolutionary 2-piece fixture-mount serves as a transfer and final preparable abutment. The All-in-One Packaging of the lnterActive further includes a cover screw that can be used for submerged healing or with a 2mm extender/healing collar for added value and simplicity.
