DM Plus trans sinus implant for treatment of the atrophic maxilla. 

Why consider Short DM? 

1. Less invasive.

Shorter than a zygomatic, DM Plus uses bicortical fixation to straddle the sinus.

DM Plus is available in 4mm Diameter x

• 18mm length

• 20mm length

• 22mm length

• 25mm length

2. Bioetch material and surface treatment.

Grade 23 (Ti 6AL-4V ELI)* titanium alloy – the ultimate dental and medical titanium delivering:

• High strength with light weight and excellent corrosion resistance.

• Thread optimised for high primary stability.

Bioetch(TM) surface.

• Patented double acid etching which creates a 1.3-micron roughness favouring bone deposition and unchallenged healing. 

• Eliminates sand or media** blast contamination altogether.

*Use of Grade 23 Titanium Alloy in Dental Implants reduces the potential for fractures – especially around the implant collar whilst allowing narrower diameter implants with uniform internal connections for simplified restoration.

**SA involves a grit blasting technique where particles such as aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃), titanium oxide (TiO₂) or calcium phosphates are fired at the surface of machined implants by means of compressed air or fluid through a nozzle at high velocity. The titanium oxide layer created is widely reported** to leave remnants that slow healing and sometimes even failures.  Immersion in strong acid solutions is undertaken to remove these contaminants yet can never completely eradicates them from the subsequent irregular surface topography.  

**Pilot study by Duddeck et al (2019). Studies and narratives by Schupbach and Glauser. Available upon request.

3. Connection.

• Conical, indexed connection. 

*Reduced bacterial entry and a tighter fit for infra-bony placement.

DM Plus is placed and restored using the standard TopDM Surgical Kit for simplicity.
