DIEM® 2 (Certain® & External Hex Connections)
Immediate Full-Arch Rehabilitation
The DIEM 2 Protocol is designed to help provide long-lasting aesthetic results through comprehensive dental implant therapy for edentulous patients, partially edentulous patients and those with failing dentition.
- Edentulism and failing dentition continue to be major health challenges affecting millions of people worldwide.
- Many patients seek full-arch rehabilitation to quickly regain their confidence and quality of life. You can help these patients by offering them DIEM 2, the Zimmer Biomet Dental solution for immediate full-arch restoration for one or both arches.
Clinical Challenges
Implant-Abutment Seal Strength with the Gold-Tite Screw
- Peri-implant Mucositis - The prevalence of peri-mucositis has been reported as high as 80% of all dental patients.1
- Peri-implantitis - The prevalence of implants experiencing peri-implantitis has been reported in excess of 12%.2,3
- Crestal Bone Loss - Average implant crestal bone remodeling can exceed 1.5 mm following the first year of function, leading to compromised aesthetics.3
Product Features
The Innovative System Solution
The DIEM 2 Solution allows for same-day treatment utilizing surgical and prosthetic flexibility with the following components:
Tapered Implants
Integrated Platform Switching medializes the implant/abutment junction (IAJ) inward, creating a biologic width between connective tissue and the IAJ1- helping to maintain bone levels1
We will guide your organization through a process improvement method
that will allow your program to continually progress.
Low Profile Abutments with Prosthetic Components
Good aesthetics are achieved with the gold hue of the Temporary Cylinder through the acrylic resin. Ease of use is provided by machined concavities at the apex of the cylinders to retain the rubber dam.
