Zimmer Biomet recently released 3i T3 short dental implants, manufactured by Biomet 3i, along with a comprehensive surgical kit designed to support site preparation and placement.
The short implants are available in 5 and 6 mm diameters with 5 and 6 mm lengths, according to a press release. They’re well suited for patients with limited bone height and offer a familiar surgical protocol without the need for vertical grafting in some challenging cases.
Featuring the 3i T3 surface, they also have an increased implant/abutment clamping force when using the Gold-Tite screw and instrumentation designed to create a tight implant-to-osteotomy fit, which assists with primary stability.
The system comes with new instruments designed specifically for the short implants, including Flat-bottom Shaping drills that match the implant’s dimensions and provide a countersink.
