Going to the Xtreme for Primary Stability and Peri-Implant Health

The TSX Implant incorporates several design elements with a long history of clinical use established by Screw-Vent® and TSV Implants. The origins of these design features and understanding of their clinical rationale and evidence provide historical context for the evolution of the TSX Implant.

TSX Dental Implant  Advantages


Supporting Peri-implant Health and Crestal Bone Maintenance

Image of the ZimVie TSX Dental Implant highlighting its dual surface technology: DAE (Dual Acid-Etched) for enhanced osseointegration at the collar and MTX (Microtextured Surface) for long-term stability throughout the implant body.

Contemporary Hybrid Surface

  • The TSX Dental Implant leverages decades of clinical history in its combination of surface technologies shown to balance peri-implant needs in the coronal and sub-coronal regions.1-5, 12-14 *

Peri-Implant Defense

  • The TSX Implant leverages long-term evidence that the proprietary coronal dual acid-etched (DAE) surface Xcels in peri-implant health and crestal bone maintenance.3

Lower Biofilm Potential

  • Bacterial colonization promotes biofilm formation and peri-implantitis  risk.11 Minimally rough surfaces like the coronal DAE Surface exhibit  similar bacterial adhesion profiles to smooth machined surfaces that  are considerably lower than other rougher surfaces tested.1,2,12-14*

Microscopic comparison showing the ZimVie Dental Implant DAE (Dual Acid Etched) surface with enhanced microtexture for osseointegration versus a smoother machined surface, highlighting differences in surface roughness and bacterial adhesion.

DAE Surface and machined titanium present similar bacterial adhesion profiles.

The increased prevalence of peri-implantitis and demand for immediacy protocols were the two main rationales behind ZimVie’s new TSX Implant design.  

The TSX Implant incorporates several design elements with a long history of clinical use established by Screw-Vent® and TSV Implants. The origins of these design features and understanding of their clinical rationale and evidence provide historical context for the evolution of the TSX Implant. 

The new TSX Implant includes unique design features to enhance implant primary stability by increasing the surface area of the implant that comes into initial contact with bone and providing a progressive increase of torque as the implant is inserted. This will help achieve high stability and sufficient insertion torque to instill confidence from tactile feel of stability during placement while not generating excessive insertion torque values.1

Digital CAD models of the ZimVie TSX® implant (left) and TSV® implant (right), both 4.7mm x 13mm. The image highlights design differences: TSX features a 0.64mm apical thread depth and a 6° taper, while TSV shows a 0.35mm apical thread depth and a 5° taper. Colored lines indicate major and minor diameter tapers, and arrows emphasize thread depth for comparison.
