Dental Solutions for Healthcare Professionals

WHY DENTAL SPECIALISTS OPT FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMER SOLUTIONS?

Flexible, durable and lightweight biomaterials, that offer a more natural dental solution than traditional material alternatives, such as metal or ceramic

BONE-LIKE MODULUS

More shock absorbent than other dental materials Titanium, helps improve clinical outcome¹

BIOCOMPATIBLE

PEEK-OPTIMA™ biocompatibility in conformance with ISO 10993-1, for use in the manufacture of medical devices for long-term implantable dental applications³

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

On a weight for weight basis PEEK-OPTIMA is stronger than metal and offers superior mechanical performance and long-term resilience

peek-optima™ natural

PEEK-OPTIMA™ polymer blends proven performance with superior wear, safety and comfort. Since Invibio introduced PEEK-OPTIMA as the first implantable PEEK polymer in 1999, it has earned the confidence and gained the acceptance of the global medical community.

The properties of PEEK-OPTIMA™ Natural, used in the JUVORA™ disc device, are closer to bone than metal, so there is more flex.³

Because of its natural flexibility, the polymer allows a more uniform stress transfer to the underlying area of bone, which:

Reduces localized stress points in the mouth
Improves patient comfort
