The New Angle on O-Ball Implants
SATURNO Narrow Diameter Implant System | Zest Anchors
SATURNO is a narrow-diameter O-Ball implant designed as a permanent solution for overdenture retention. Engineered with straight and innovative 20° angled O-Ball implant options, both implants are available in 2.0-, 2.4-, or 2.9-mm diameters and 2- or 4-mm cuff heights.
The 20° angled O-Ball implant option allows for placement following the natural slope of the maxillary ridge. This innovation diminishes O-Ball facial emergence, a problem that could produce areas of thin denture acrylic and compromise denture strength and/or esthetics.
Both SATURNO Implants incorporate patented Pivoting O-Ring technology that allows for passive denture seating when convergent/divergent implants are present. With passive seating, patients will experience easier prosthesis insertion/removal and less wear on their O-Rings.
SATURNO Narrow Diameter Implant System:
- Self-tapping for ease of implant insertion and increased implant stability
- Progressive thread provides increased primary stability
- Proven RBM surface on the entire length of the implant
- Patented pivoting technology for resiliency and 30° angle correction
