Profile: Zimmer Dental, Inc. specializes in dental implant products. Our product portfolio comprises of root-form endosseous dental implants, prosthetic attachments for restoration, surgical instrumentation, collagen-based wound healing and regenerative products, as well as bone graft products. Our tapered screw-vent implant system has multi-lead threads, tapered bodies, and soft & dense bone surgical protocols. On its insertion into a straight, undersized osteotomy, the bone is compressed resulting in enhanced primary stability. Its tapered body also facilitates implant placement between convergent roots, in areas with labial concavities and in immediate extraction sites. Our proprietary friction-fit internal hex connection is a combination of designs that reduce stress on crestal bone and resist abutment screw loosening, thereby maintaining appropriate bone level.
The company was founded in 1927, has revenues of USD 100-500 Million, has ~410 employees and is ISO 13485, CE certified. NYSE:ZMH (SEC Filings)
