Tapered Screw-Vent implant turns 10

Zimmer Dental is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of its renowned Tapered Screw-Vent implant. With more than two million units sold worldwide, the flagship product has built a solid reputation of trust and performance. Seven prospective studies on Tapered Screw-Vent Implants have reported cumulative success rates of more than 99 percent.


Available in 3.7mm, 4.1mm, 4.7mm, and 6.0mm sizes, the implant's proprietary, friction-fit, internal hex platform reduces stress on crestal bone and resists abutment screw loosening. With triple-lead threads, MTX™ and MP-1 HA surfaces and a tapered implant body, the versatile Tapered Screw-Vent implant is the platform of choice for thousands of clinicians. And because of its initial implant stability, it also enables immediate restorations and immediate loading where clinically appropriate.

A variety of prosthetic options are designed for the Tapered Screw-Vent Implant to meet the most demanding restorative needs including the titanium Hex-Lock Contour Abutment and the Zimmer Contour Zirconia Abutment (straight or angled) and the recently launched Hex-Lock Short Abutment. Surgical and drill stop kits, drills, motors, restorative tools and regenerative offerings, as well as world-class education through The Zimmer Institute, are also available to provide a multifaceted and comprehensive oral rehabilitation solution.
