DIO’s advanced infusion technique, combining specialist RBM surface treatment with a special Brushite coating, has solved the exfoliation issues experienced by other implant manufacturers. Brushite is transformed into a very stable calcium phosphate compound – hydroxyapatite (HA), Ca5 (PO4)3OH, which is also found in the external periosteal callus of

repaired femoral fractures in children. Significant improvements in stability have been achieved by providing an increased amount of calcium ions (Ca2+ and PO42-) to the transforming media thanks to the solubility of the compound, accelerating osteogenesis and mineralization. The advanced Brushite coating increases the blood osteoblast count on the implant surface and accelerates and enhances osseointegration between implant and bone. The coating effectively speeds up osseointegration by dissolution and promotes recovery by promoting bone formation around the implant.

DIO is so confident about their technological advances that they are offering coated surface options for their most successful dental implant ranges. The hybrid implants (BioTite-H) receive a dual surface treatment consisting of a biocompatible Brushite coating (Cap) and advanced RBM surface roughness. BioTite-H is available in implants ranging in size from mini-implants to extra-wide implants, making the benefits of Brushite technology available for all implant cases regardless of bone quality. The safety of BioTite-H with Brushite coating has been demonstrated by clinical case data verified for validity in partnership with a German company specializing in bio-implant technology.
