achieving anchorage in the pterygoid
A new generation Pterygoid implants
In full arch cases, clinicians aim to maintain a large AP spread without compromising their primary stability.
Southern’s Pterygoid implant range adds another tool to the clinician’s armamentarium to enable optimal clinical outcomes.

Technical Facts
Available with a Deep Conical connection interface.
Tapered body with narrow 2 mm apex to achieve stability in under-prepared sites.
Diameter: ⌀4 mm.
Lengths: 13-20 mm.
SInergy surface: surface roughened by alumina-blasting giving a moderately rough surface with over 20 years of evidence of clinical success.
4 mm MSC (Machined Surface Coronal) surface engineered to reduce bacterial adhesion and decrease the risk of peri-implantitis.

Surgical benefits
Excellent tactile sensibility during placement.
Fast insertion and excellent primary stability.
State-of-the-art design features to minimise the risk of peri-implant complications.
Microthreads on the neck distribute the load in the cortical region.
Available in a tapered body shape.
Minimizes the need for bone grafting.
Increases AP spread.
Reduces treatment time.

Prosthetic benefits
Increases patient acceptance.
Reduces treatment time.
Wide range of prosthetic options for treatment of single tooth, partial or full edentulism.
