Description
SATURN
Especially suited for immediate loading after extraction, Saturn’s “wings” provide substantial initial stability, reducing stress distribution at the alveolar cortex and optimize aesthetic restoration. Primary stability of the Saturn implant in the empty socket is over 40 Ncm, enabling the immediate placement of aesthetic temporary crowns. Saturn is also suitable for cases of open and closed sinus grafting. Expanded diameter threads provide excellent initial stability, even if the residual crestal height is low as only 3 or 4 mm. Furthermore, the Saturn is suitable for implantation of lower premolar and molar extraction sites, when there is adequate room (14 mm mesio-distal).
Greater Bone to Implant Contact (BIC)
Bone to Implant Contact (BIC), is often reduced up to 50% in extraction sites. Saturn, with its wings, considerably enhances BIC, mechanical torsional support, and overall stability.
Saturn Reduces Displacement and Stress Distribution
Reduced stress distribution at the neck of the implant may prevent bone loss after loading. Finite Element Analysis demonstrates that the added wings considerably reduce stress distribution at the implant neck, thus reducing potential for bone loss at the crest.
