The DIO STEADY External Implant System is an endosseous dental implant is indicated for surgical placement in the upper and lower jaw arches, to provide a root form means for single or multiple units` prosthetic appliance attachment to restore a patient`s chewing function. Implants can be placed with a conventional two stage surgical process with an option for immediate loading. Immediate loading is restricted to the anterior mandible, based on four interforminal placed implants, and not indicated for single unsplinted implants. Patients must be subject for dental treatment with endosseous implants.
A sterile device made of alloplastic materials [e.g., titanium (Ti), stainless steel, ceramic] intended to be surgically implanted into alveolar and/or basal bone of the mandible or maxilla to provide support and a means of retention for a dental prosthesis (e.g., bridge, single-tooth, overdenture). It is a two-piece device composed of an anchorage component (implant body) in the form of a threaded screw that is implanted into bone, and a retention component (implant abutment), typically attached to the anchorage component after implantation, that protrudes through gingival tissues to support the prosthesis.
