Surface treatments
The unique surface OsteoGrip®, which favours rapid bony integration, is achieved by specific surface treatments such as Sandblasting, Etching and Plasma Glow Discharge.
Further treatments like anodic colouring and electrolysis are performed on prosthetic components (abutments) to improve their performances and reliabilities.
| Sanblasting confers necessary superficial macroroughness, on which further treatment is applied. |
|
| Etching acid based with fluoridric acid for a better osteointegration; for realization of optimal roughness. |

| Plasma Glow Discharge surface decontamination through atomic bombardment with inactive gas (Argon). This treatment favours alkaline phosphatase (ALP), critical phase for activation of the osseointegration process. |

| Anodic colouring it leads to the formation of a crystalline titanium oxide surface (Anatase) capable of reducing bacterial overgrow in the trasmucosal portion of the implant; it has also the functional value to facilitate the recognition of the prosthetic components series 3 (yellow colour) from that of type 4 (blue colour). |

| Anodical electrolysis this treatment increases resistance to corrosion damage due to asperities of implant/abutment contact surfaces (fretting). This corrosion, caused by normal chewing activity, generates a micro-movement between implant and abutment (settling) that is the cause of the loosening of the connecting screw. Easy Grip®is the first and currently the only implant line in Italy that has implemented this treatment that allows not only a micro-polishing of the surfaces but also values of roughness and morphologies of the surface that increase resistance to fretting corrosion. Results are a connecting surface characterized by:
