Zahntium Implant ZI 37508 – 3.75mm x 8mm

The Zahntium Implant ZI 37508 is a regular-platform dental implant featuring a 3.75mm diameter and 8mm length, designed for posterior regions with limited vertical bone height. This implant is ideally suited for the mandibular posterior area above the inferior alveolar nerve canal or the maxillary posterior region below the maxillary sinus floor, where bone height is restricted but width is adequate for a standard-diameter implant. The 8mm short length allows for implant placement without advanced bone grafting procedures, reducing treatment time and patient morbidity.

Manufactured from medical-grade Grade 4 Titanium, the Zahntium ZI 37508 incorporates a tapered body geometry with self-tapping apical threads that facilitate smooth, controlled insertion. The 3.75mm diameter represents the industry standard for regular-platform implants, providing excellent compatibility with a wide range of prosthetic components, abutments, and restorative systems. The short 8mm length is specifically engineered for anatomical situations where longer implants would risk injury to critical structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve or maxillary sinus.

The internal hex connection of the Zahntium ZI 37508 provides a secure, precision-milled interface for prosthetic attachment. This hexagonal recess, machined to exacting tolerances, accepts standard abutments and provides anti-rotational stability essential for single-tooth restorations. The internal design protects the connection from deformation during implant insertion, maintaining the accuracy of the interface for the life of the restoration. This connection system has been clinically validated in millions of implants worldwide.

The SLA surface treatment on the Zahntium ZI 37508 creates a micro-rough topography that accelerates the osseointegration process. The sandblasting step creates macro-roughness at the 10-50 micron level, while the acid-etching step creates micro-roughness at the 0.5-2 micron level. This dual-level surface texture promotes the attachment, migration, and differentiation of osteoblasts, resulting in faster bone apposition and higher bone-to-implant contact ratios. In short implant applications where surface area is reduced, the enhanced osseointegration provided by the SLA surface is particularly valuable.

The 8mm length of the Zahntium ZI 37508 offers significant advantages for patients with posterior ridge atrophy. Short implants have been shown in systematic reviews to have survival rates comparable to longer implants placed with sinus augmentation or nerve repositioning procedures, but with reduced surgical morbidity, lower cost, and shorter treatment time. The combination of a 3.75mm regular platform with an 8mm short length makes this implant a versatile solution for posterior single-tooth replacement, particularly in cases where the patient declines more invasive grafting procedures. Each implant is supplied sterile and ready for immediate surgical placement.
