MTX Surface in Zimmer Implant

Published : Modified :04/26/2024 - Categories : Dental Terminology , Scientific Blog

MTX is a non-coated, microtextured surface created by grit-blasting the machined titanium implant surface with hydroxylapatite (HA) particles, followed by washing in non-etching acid and distilled water baths to remove residual blasting material.

The MTX process does not weaken the titanium implant body, ensuring that the strength of the implant is maintained. Furthermore, implant threads are not rounded by the MTX process, and cutting grooves remain intact for efficient self-tapping.

Recently, Zimmer Dental has developed its proprietary HA coating process – the MP-1 process. It increases the average crystalline content of the HA ---> Effective in achieving and maintaining excellent bone-to-implant contact.
