Zhermack have launched a unique sterile silicone for implant techniques which require impressions immediately after surgery. Elite Implant is sterile to reduce the risk of post-operative complications and is biocompatible and radiopaque to avoid tissue damage if a fragment remains in the mucosa. As well as the benefits Elite Implant offers peace of mind over the most commonly used materials for implants which studies show can be cytotoxic if a fragment remains.

Elite Implant fits standard dispensers and comes in three viscosities. “Heavy(50ml)” is used on its own for edentureless patients and is extra rigid. “Medium(50ml)” is used on its own for partially edentate patients or with “Light(5ml)” which is used around the implants and preparations.
