Product Details
The Surcam Pterygoid Implant (4 mm Neck) is engineered for posterior maxillary rehabilitation when conventional sites are limited by bone volume. A titanium nitride–coated 4.0 mm neck provides a smooth, tissue-level collar and visual contrast for margin control. Conical coarse threads and a 2.0 mm anchoring apex support directional control and primary purchase along the pterygoid pathway. The SLA surface (dry alumina blasting + double acid etch) on Grade 5 ELI titanium promotes predictable osseointegration.
Connection / Platform: Internal Hex 2.43 mm (verify interface/fit). Planning via CBCT and adherence to IFU are essential.
FAQs
Is this implant suitable for atrophic posterior maxilla cases?
Yes—pterygoid implants are intended for posterior maxillary rehabilitation when conventional fixtures or grafting are limited. Final indication is case-dependent per IFU and CBCT planning.
What is the benefit of the 4.0 mm TiN-coated neck?
The TiN tissue-level collar offers a smooth, durable surface and visual contrast that can aid margin control and hygiene around the emergence profile.
Which restorative components are compatible?
Use Internal Hex 2.43 mm compatible parts (healing caps, abutments, multi-unit components). Verify platform code and indexing before use.
Can this be used for immediate or early loading?
Selective cases only. Consider immediate/early loading when primary stability/ISQ and occlusal control meet the manufacturer’s IFU criteria.
What surgical planning is recommended?
A CBCT-guided plan assessing zygomatic/pterygoid trajectory, sinus anatomy, and prosthetic space is essential. Follow IFU for osteotomy sequence, irrigation, and torque limits.
