ZimVie announces launch of TSX Implant

ZimVie Inc., a global life sciences company specialising in the dental and spine markets, announced the launch of the TSX Implant in the US market.

Designed for immediate extraction and loading protocols

According to a press release from Zimvie, TSX Implants are designed for immediate extraction and loading protocols as well as placement predictability and primary stability in soft and dense bone.

The TSX Implant can be integrated with ZimVie’s digital workflows, which furthers ZimVie’s commitment to simplifying procedures and optimizing practice protocols.

The TSX Implant debuted at the American Academy of Periodontology’s annual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, following the company’s joint launch of the T3® PRO Tapered Implant and Encode® Emergence Healing Abutment in June 2022.

“I am pleasantly surprised how easily the TSX Implants engaged at the apex in extraction sites and was excited to see 50 Ncm (newton centimeters) of torque using the new extraction protocol,” said Julius Bunek, DDS, MS, PLLC in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

“Further, I was impressed with how well the implant followed the planned path of insertion and did not track off course. This implant’s compatibility with my existing surgical and prosthetic instrumentation along with the new design features are just some of the reasons I plan to use this system in my practice.”

Zimvie’s hybrid technologies for peri-implants

The TSX Implant utilizes a contemporary hybrid of ZimVie’s proprietary dual acid-etched (DAE) and MTX™ surface technologies to balance peri-implant health needs in the coronal and sub-coronal regions.

Minimally rough coronal surfaces like DAE may lower the risk of biofilm formation and peri-implantitis while offering excellent osseointegration potential to maintain crestal bone, said the press release.

“Meanwhile, the subcoronal MTX surface offers high osteoconductive potential with over two decades of clinical success,” it added.

Progressive threads and taper

The TSX Implant’s progressive threads and taper are designed to follow the patient’s prepared osteotomy and provide a precisely positioned and aesthetically restored implant with high primary stability.

“We created the TSX Implant to improve patient experience and enhance clinicians’ confidence in successful procedures that can be delivered more efficiently,” said Indraneel Kanaglekar, SVP and President of ZimVie Dental.

“We continue to invest in bringing new, innovative products to market that broaden our suite of digitally integrated, efficient, and versatile workflows designed to improve patient health and satisfaction.”

Surgical compatibility

ZimVie’s next-generation implant is compatible with the Encode® Emergence 3-in-1 Healing Abutment, Impression Coping, and Scanbody System. To help the surgeon master immediate implants with greater efficiency and more predictability, the TSX Implant is surgically compatible with familiar soft and dense bone protocols, existing tools, and the company’s digital dentistry platform.
