Surface treatments
The exclusive OsteoGrip® surface, featured by the Easy Grip® implant line, is the result of specific surface treatments such as Sandblasting, Etching, Anodic Colouring and Plasma Glow Discharge, specifically designed to support rapid bone regeneration.

SLA (Sanding and Acid Etching)
Following the excellent results, confirmed by the clinical literature, of the two subtractive sanding and acid etching techniques, it was decided to join the benefits in a single treatment, in order to achieve an SLA surface (Sandblasted with Long grit corundum followed by Acid etching with Sulfuric and Hydrochloric acid).
This was introduced in 1998 and is one of the most documented rough surfaces in dental implantology.
Etching
Acid based with hydrofluoric acid for better osteointegration, to achieve optimal microtexture.
Plasma Glow Discharge
Surface decontamination through atomic bombardment with inert gas (Argon).
This treatment makes it possible to achieve surface decontamination results that cannot be achieved with other methods, at the same time as supporting the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) process, a critical stage in correct activation of osteointegration.
Anodic colouring
This technique is applied on both artificial teeth and implants in the neck zone and internal connection; it is used on scientific grounds to form a crystalline titanium oxide surface (Anatase) capable of reducing bacterial growth in the trasmucosal portion of the implant; it has the added functional advantage of helping the user identify the prosthetic components.
