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.

A simple but revolutionary idea in implant dentistry. 

PELLICLE-FREE IMPLANT

The only key to activating/restoring implants is to remove the implant carbon pellicle. 

DIO Implant has developed a one minute activation using VUV,
the most effective UV for photofunctionalization. 

To evaluate the ability of various UV sources to decarbonize and remove implant pellicles, methylene blue solution was tested on the implants. 

The solution becomes perfectly clear after just one minute of VUV- exposure, eliminating all the carbon. 

The competition doesn't even come close.

98% bone-to-implant contact is accomplished with pellicle-free implants.

Highly increased soft tissue response is achieved with pellicle-free abutments.

Implants treated with VUV-photofunctionalization become pellicle-free and bone-to-implant contact rises to 98%. The blue represents bone, and the red is the soft tissue around
a black-shadowed implant. 
A VUV-activated, pellicle-free healing abutment attracts more fibroblasts, establishing a new concept of soft tissue sealing around the abutment and crown.

Regenerates surface hydrophilicity.

VUV photofunctionalization is a surface finish before placing an implant in patients. It removes implant pellicles by decarbonizing implant surfaces. Hydrophilicity simply follows.

"A series of recent discoveries revealed that all titanium implants are covered with carbon pellicles without exception, which significantly compromises their biological capability.

Cells and blood can clearly see the pellicle and react accordingly in a very unfavorable way for us. Getting rid of the pellicle before it is used for patients is only natural.

UV photofunctionalization simply makes titanium implants as they are meant to be by removing implant pellicles.

VUV technology can make it happen in just one minute. Pellicle-free implants are finally here."

Professor, UCLA School of Dentistry

 

Reverse the aging process. Time-dependent carbon builds

on the titanium surface and continues to grow as the implant ages.

 

"Time is shifting bacteriophobic dental implants."

 

Implants are covered with hydrocarbon pellicles, just like teeth,
and Dr. Ogawa at UCLA School of Dentistry defined it as the implant pellicle.

Just like the dental pellicle prevents tooth re-mineralization and provides bases for oral bacterial biofilm,
the implant pellicle significantly compromises osseointegration and increases the attraction of oral bacteria.  

However, VUV effectively removes the implant pellicle to maximize osseointegration and minimize biofilm development.



The implant pellicle is a carbon film that forms on implant surfaces
by the natural binding of hydrocarbons from the atmosphere.
