Trabecular Metal Technology

Trabecular Metal Technology is an innovative material utilized by ZimVie for two decades in implantable orthopaedic devices. Uses of Trabecular Metal Material are varied and have included joint reconstruction, bone void filling, and soft-tissue repair.1-3 ZimVie integrated Trabecular Metal Technology into its dental implant portfolio in 2011.   

What is Trabecular Metal Technology?

Trabecular Metal Technology is a three-dimensional material, not an implant surface or coating. Its structure and function are similar to cancellous bone.4-6

Faster Healing and Earlier Bone Formation

Trabecular Metal Implant Features & Benefits

The BioBoost Effect Scientifically Super...Natural

The BioBoost Effect is a multiplication of naturally-occurring growth factors to deliver faster healing and earlier bone formation than traditional implants.1-8

The BioBoost Effect, only available on the Trabecular Metal Implant, is the result of a proprietary combination of cancellous-like porosity and highly-biocompatible tantalum.9-11 With mounting evidence of this clinical advantage in Rapid Recovery, Risk Management, and Revision Therapy cases, harness the healing power of the BioBoost Effect and take your practice to the next level.

The BioBoost Effect

Rapid Recovery

Accelerate healing with a 2-week final loading protocol.12-15

The BioBoost Effect accelerates healing and bone formation through the multiplication of naturally-occurring growth factors related to bone formation, wound healing, and vascularization.3,6-8 Several studies have documented the Trabecular Metal Implant in a 2-week final loading protocol with a 97% to 100% survival rate after up to five years follow up.12-14

Risk Management

Expand treatment in poor bone and impaired healing.16-26

Several studies have shown that Trabecular Metal Implants perform well in patients with risk factors such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, prior oral infection, the effects of cancer treatment and poor bone quality.16-26 The Trabecular Metal Implant may offer beneficial conditions for healthy implant integration in underserved patient populations.

Revision Therapy

Leverage the healing advantage in dental implant replacement.

Patients with a previously failed implant are at a higher risk for another failure.27 Therefore, it is important to treat the cause of the initial failure and select the replacement implant very carefully. Unlike conventional implants, Trabecular Metal Implants offer BioBoost Technology for the healthy ingrowth of vascularized bone as well as the potential for enhanced bone healing compared to conventional titanium implants,1-8 making them an excellent choice in revision therapy.
