Fact
Research has demonstrated the relationship between peri-implant surface alterations and the development of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.1
Challenge
Clinicians must be able to effectively clean implants with minimal alteration of abutment surfaces because altered surfaces can be a source for plaque accumulation, which can lead to peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
Solution
Implacare II scalers provide thinner working ends and new designs that allow you to better adapt to and effectively scale implants while causing the least amount of alteration to implant abutment surfaces.2
Points of Performance
- Made of PLASTEEL™: A high grade, unfilled resin that causes the least amount of alteration to implant abutment surfaces2
- Thin tip design: Allows for improved access to implant abutment surfaces and allows for more effective maintenance and care of implants
- Two NEW universal curette designs: The Barnhart 5/6 and Langer 1/2 join the Columbia 4R/4L, 204S, and H6/H7 to provide a well-rounded set of options so you can select the instrument best suited for each patient’s needs
