FOR SURGEONS:
Superior interface strength
Predictable outcomes
Minimum chair time
Reduced micromovement
Self-Tapping Performance
• Innovative self-tapping technology,
patented by Sulzer Calcitek
• High torsional strength provides
support when self-tapping into bone
• Three spiral flutes direct bone
chips up and away from the cutting
edge for greater implant stability
and decreased lateral play
• All Spline Twist implants use the
same surgical procedure and
instrumentation
SNAP Insertion Innovation
The high-strength
Spline implant interface
allows the implant and
the abutment to form
a precise "lock,"
reducing joint failure.
All Spline Twist implants feature the patentpending
SNAP touch-free delivery system.
• Simple, convenient insertion
• Implant goes directly from packaging
to patient's mouth
• Maintains sterility; reduces risk of infection

Simply the Right Solution!
Maximum Performance Surfaces
From new innovations in titanium to our revolutionary HA coating.
MTX Microtextured Titanium
• Proprietary grit blasting process for a
uniform roughened surface
• Rough implant surfaces generally
demonstrate an increase in bone
apposition 4-6
• Increased surface area without a
coating–44% more surface area than
(Rq 0.8 µm) machined titanium 2
• Removal torque significantly greater
than smooth implant surfaces 3-6
What are the benefits
of grit blasting?
• Process leaves no residuals
• Process does not round precision corners
• Produces a consistent 1-2 micron Ra
surface roughness

MTX vs. Osseotite
Comparison of SEM
photographs taken at
a magnification of 400x
show noticeable differences.
Grit blasting process produces a high density surface
roughness. Increased surface roughness generally
demonstrates an increase in bone apposition.

MP-1 HA Coating
Did you know that you can lose up
to 11% of your implant’s HA coating
mass within four days?
Keep more HA on your implant by using MP-1 coated implants.
MP-1 mass loss is only 1% compared to the competition.
Less coating dissolves after 4 days at pH of 7.4. 2

The MP-1's HA coating delivers the highest
crystallinity available, making it more stable
and less soluble than HA coatings containing
non-HA components.
• MP-1 sets the standard for HA coatings
• MP-1’s 97% 2 crystalline HA content far
exceeded the competition in an independent
laboratory study
• Competitive coatings only 38%–70% crystalline
HA content 2
• Post coating treatment process increases crystallinity
of coating, without effecting coating strength
