Do you need help identifying a dental implant?
OsseoSource Facebook community was established to provide a place where dentists, dental technicians, and other dental professionals can seek help in identifying unknown implants. Recently we successfully helped Phil identify such an implant. Phil sent this request:
"I am trying to identify this particular implant in #9 position so that I can order a replacement screw. I will attach a radiograph of the implant and a picture of the abutment interface. Can you please help me identify it? I appreciate whatever help you can give me."
He attached these images:
Using the Root Form Implants search we could pin down the exact implant based on its unique characteristics:
Abutment Connection external
Implant Body Shape tapered
Implant Body Features threaded
Implant Body Thread buttress, V-shaped
Implant Cervical Shape wider than body
Implant Apical Shape domed apex
Implant Platform Color purple
The implant was identified as Nobel Replace External Hex (3.5) (Steri-Oss)
