Post Extraction
Molar Tooth Replacement
Implants designed to achieve high
primary stability for optimised treatment
protocols
Challenge
A common need for dental implant treatment is replacement of a failing molar tooth.
The size and shape of the multi-rooted socket is often not suited to the placement of a typical implant, resulting in compromised implant positioning or poor primary stability. This may result in a waiting period of 3-6 months to allow for healing before attempting to place an implant.
The healed site will often present with reduced vertical and horisontal bone height, resulting in the need for augmentation, especially in the Maxilla.
This leads to further lengthening of treatment time with increased cost and complexity.

Solution
The MAX Implant allows immediate placement in molar extraction sockets:
- Preserving bone and soft tissue.
- Reduces buccal bone resorption.
- Limits sinus pneumatisation – longer implant, better prognosis.
- Faster rehabilitation.
- Documented minimal bone remodeling.

Innovation
The MAX implant advances a molar specific implant design and dedicated surgical protocol to achieve predictable placement into the multi-rooted molar sockets.
The MAX implant features a macro design with a unique thread design and a strong taper to increase the benefit of achieving optimal primary stability where bone to implant contact is low. The flute and thread design provide for self-tapping ability of the implant.
