The DIO Dental Implant system is an endosseous dental implant that is indicated to use 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. The DIO implant system is intended for immediate placement and function on single-tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function. Multiple tooth applications may be rigidly splinted. In the case of edentulous patients 4 or more implants must be used.
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.
