  • The Tapered Screw-Vent Implant System, in production since 1999, is Zimmer’s most popular implant. The implant’s main aim is primary stability which allows immediate placement and/or immediate loading in appropriately selected patients. Zimmer also produces a one-piece solution for fast, convenient immediate restoration with minimal or no abutment preparation.
  • The AdVent and Screw-Vent Implants are legacy members of the Tapered Screw-Vent family. The AdVent implant is a single-stage solution that minimizes valuable chair time and lessens patient trauma. The immediate loading protocol for the edentulous mandible gives patients function and esthetics with as little as one visit.
  • The single-stage Tapered SwissPlus and SwissPluss implants simplify and accelerate the implant process to save valuable chair time and increase productivity.

 

Per studies mentioned on the Zimmer website, the Tapered Screw Vent Implant has a cumulative survival rate of 99.05% with mean implant survival rates ranging from 95.45% to 100.00%.
