Introduction
Certain® Platform Switching Implant
Overview
created an implant system that is designed to help
clinicians in the pursuit of crestal bone preservation. The Certain
Platform Switching Implant features integrated platform switching,
which incorporates a coronal bevel design that medializes the
Implant Abutment Junction (IAJ). This feature is available on 3i T3®,
OSSEOTITE® and NanoTite™ Implants unless otherwise noted.
The surface extends to the top of the collar where the
medialization of the implant begins, creating a continuous
bone loading surface.
Centralized IAJ:
Moves microgap in from shoulder
and centralizes occlusal forces.
Full Surface Treatment:
Elevates the bone loading
surface for maximum BIC.
The Certain Platform Switching Implant offers the Certain
QuickSeat® Connection. This provides the clinician with an
audible and tactile click that confirms the abutment is properly
seated. The double hex allows for as many as 12 rotational
positions, which is ideal for angled abutments.

appropriately color-coded to ensure proper matching of the
corresponding BIOMET 3i Abutments.
The Certain Platform Switching Implant is offered in two
different implant configurations:
Tapered

Implant
Incorporates all of the design features of a platform switching
implant with a tapered design, which approximates the shape of
a natural tooth root. The innovative thread angle, depth and
pitch produce an anchoring “bite in bone” response for
establishing primary stability.
