The Key Spiral SB/LA Implants Features

Description

Why we use SB/LA – Sand blasted with Large Grit Acid Etched? When discussing the Implant surface treatment from a sales point of view it is important to note that most Implant companies have a similar surface treatment to SB/LA and should not be the major focus of the conversation:

There are only two companies who use a certified SB/LA surface treatment. Ritter is one of them.

Ritter Implants was the first to develop the SB/LA surface on Grade 5 with KKS in Switzerland and it was proven successful.

Titanium Grade 5 with SLA is still the very best surface treatment in the world.

Faster Healing questions – this is a marketing myth – if your son breaks his arm, how long does it take to heal? Every person heals differently and the only way to measure if an Implant is fully healed is through a Cone Beam CT scan. Capable of measuring the Hounsfield units at the surface of the Implant.
Ritter Implants are made of a “Grade 5” Titanium alloy (Ti6AL4VELI: 90 % Titanium, 6 % Aluminum, 4 % Vanadium), which goes through a special sandblasting and etching process.

Our method creates large surface differences that allow strong adsorption of plasma proteins and blood into the micropores of the implant immediately after insertion. Likewise, rapid osseo,integration and higher primary stability, which allows immediate loading, are guaranteed.

Benefits
• Bone strengthening due to early Implant contact
• Increased stability
• Shortened healing phase
• Higher predictability of the healing process

Corundum sandblasting and acid etching of the implant surface
• Sandblasting creates a macro surface of 20–40 Μm (microns)
• Double thermal acid etching process creates structures between 1–5 Μm
• Material forms a hydrophilic titanium oxide layer
