Extended Implant Health
DESS® has developed periocoat®, a cutting-edge patented ZrN coating solution designed to
proactively address gingival problems and enhance the overall implant experience.
This innovative technology acts as a shield, actively inhibiting the buildup of dental
plaque and the subsequent onset of gingival infections.
The technology that helps patients maintain their implants
Achieving Optimal Implant Health: The Challenge of Implantology
As a Dental Professional, you have probably encauntered the following issues in your daily clinical work:
- Poor patient hygiene compliance
- Plaque and calculus on abutments
- Gingival bleeding and possible increased pocket depth
- Roughened surface on abutment from corrosion
- Scratched abutment surface from cleaning and wear and tear
- Bone loss around implants due to peri-implatitis
Addressing gingival problems with innovative technology
Periocoat® brings a multitude of biological & mechanical advantages that address all
the above implantology issues.
They contribute to extending the longevity of dental
implants and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.
Biological benefits of periocoat®
- Facilitates hygene
- Less inflammation & plaque adhesion
- Helps reduce chances of periimplantitis
- Warm gold hue for best aesthetic results
Mechanical benefits of periocoat®
- Higher corrosion resistance
- Easier to clean
- 6x harder than Titanium Oxide
Most implant health complications come from patients struggling to maintain good oral hygiene
Periocoat®’s high resistance to biofilm formation and corrosion helps maintain a flawless abutment surface over time, which facilitates oral hygiene and reduces the risk for peri-implant infections.
Periocoat® | The Science behind it
Periocoat® leverages various properties to create an inhospitable environment for plaque formation. By discouraging the growth of harmful bacteria, it significantly reduces the risk of mucositis and, subsequently, the breakdown of collagen that can lead to peri-implantitis
Less biofilm genesis on the surface
Less biofilm and plaque mean less quantity and quality of bacteria that can cause soft tissue inflammation.
Increased adhesion of fibroblasts
A higher adhesion of fibroblasts locks the path between the surface and soft tissue, preventing bacteria to enter the gingival margin.
Increased collagen stability
ZrN creates less of an inflammatory burden and less collagen degradation in the gingival tissue, as evidenced by less aMMP8 biomarker in the gingival fluid.
Surface is more resistant to corrosion
Dental plaque produces acid that will corrode the surface and increase roughness. Periocoat® is harder and has a smaller friction coefficient which makes it more resistant to corrosion.
Six times harder than Titanium Oxide
Periocoat® will not scratch at all when cleaned using curettes, ultrasound or other instruments.
Warm gold hue
A warmer golden hue has aesthetic advantages compared to the titanium metallic colour.
