What is it indicated for?
Southern Implants MAX implant is intended for implantation in the maxillary or mandibular molar region where bone exists and the surgeon has determined that the placement of a narrower diameter implant would increase the probability of failure due to poor primary stability, or increased surgical procedures leading to complications. This MAX implant provides support for fixed or removable dental prostheses in a single tooth, partially edentulous prostheses or full arch prostheses. It further adds the option for immediate loading on single and splinted multiple unit restorations when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function.
