Maxi Z Flat-End Implant
Maxi Z Flat-End 2
Maxi Z Flat-End 1
The new OsteoCare™ Maxi Z Flat-End implant shares many of the features of the OsteoCare™ Mini, Midi and Maxi Z implants such as the buttress thread design, surface treatment (Grit-blasted and acid-etched) and the tapered body providing osteocompression which increases the bone-to-implant contact and provides high initial stability in poor quality bone (Zahran and Gauld, 2007 and Zahran, 2008).
OsteoCare™ Maxi Z Flat-End implant can also be placed into an undersized osteotomy resulting in better osseointegration when compared to conventional parallel wall implants.

Advantages of the Maxi Z Flat-End:
- Flat end and tapered design allows for the procedure of sinus lifting without perforating the Schneiderian membrane.
- Flat end of the implant corresponds with the existing OsteoCare™ flat-ended Osteotomes.
- Maxi Z Flat-End, in the shorter lengths can be placed in jaws with vertical bone resorption and has a larger surface area.
- Drilling protocol (osteotomy preparation) is similar when placing the OsteoCare™ Classic Advanced Implant. Users of the conventional system can place the Maxi Z Flat-End without need for further training.
