New UV technology removes implant pellicles and regenerates hydrophilicity.

Did you know that straight out-of-the-package implants are bio-compromised? It's true. Titanium implants undergo biological aging the minute they are manufactured. Time-dependent carbon (known as implant pellicle) builds on the surface naturally. Titanium goes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and loses its biological capability. How does this impact your implant procedure?

• The strength of osseointegration is reduced by 55%
• Bone-to-implant contact is reduced by 60%
• The number of osteogenic cells attached to the implant is reduced by 65%
• The number of proteins absorbed into the implant is reduced by 75%

Why compromise when you can have the best?

UCLA School of Dentistry conducted research on the next-generation UV technology called VUV-powered activation. By exploiting a cutting-edge vacuum, UV (VUV) light with a 172nm wavelength combined with an innovative synthetic quartz technology — dental implants can be activated in just one minute without unpacking the implant. All bio-compromised potentials are restored and turn out even better than the new implants. How much better?

• 98% bone-to-implant contact capability
• 5 times greater number of osteogenic cells attach to the implant surface in the initial stage
• 4 times greater protein absorption to the implant surface
• 3 times faster osseointegration in the early healing stage

Irresistible attraction.

VUV photofunctionalization removes implant pellicles by decarbonizing the titanium, turning implants hydrophilic. The earned hydrophilicity dramatically increases blood wettability, improving the adhesion of proteins and osteoblasts while making bone formation much faster.

Eliminate implant pellicle. One minute is all it takes. Get the VUV Activator from DIO and say goodbye to carbon forever.
