ZimVie Launches GenTek Dental Components in US Market

ZimVie, a global leader in dental implant technology, has announced the launch of its GenTek Genuine Restorative Components in the United States. This expansion comes after the company received FDA 510(k) clearance for the product portfolio, which has already seen significant success in the European market since its introduction in 2019.

Comprehensive Prosthetic Solutions

The GenTek portfolio offers a wide range of restorative components designed to support digitally driven CAD/CAM restorations. These include Ti-Bases, pre-milled abutment blanks, screws, instruments, and ancillary products. Manufactured to be compatible with ZimVie’s implant systems, these components aim to ensure a precise fit and tight seal, crucial for long-term aesthetic and functional restorations.

Looking Ahead

While the launch of GenTek in the US market represents a significant milestone for ZimVie, the company has included a cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements.
