Why is the Zimmer® Hex so Popular?

Internal hex implants aren’t a novel idea in the world of implant dentistry. Several manufacturers, including BioHorizons®, Implant Direct™, and Blue Sky Bio™ all produce internal hex implants. These are just some of the top names recognized today, along with Zimmer® hex and Hi-Tec Implants.

Zimmer® hex is one of the most popular internal hex implants simply because the company is known for reliable products with quality technical properties. As manufacturing technologies and research have advanced, more manufacturers have developed implants similar to Zimmer® Hex. Hi-Tec Implants is a company based in Israel that develops a range of implant systems based on 30 years of clinical research and application. Hi-Tec Implants holds both FDA approval and European Community certification.

The Zimmer® hex implants and internal hex implants in general have many desirable features that suit a range of restoration procedures.

  • Internal hex implants like Zimmer® hex and Hi-Tec Implants offer easy placement of abutments and screws.
  • Attachments can be mounted without security with little risk of dislodging before a screw is inserted.
  • Internal hex systems offer efficient closure because the cap is flush with the platform at bone level.
  • When using ceramic abutments with Zimmer® hex, Hi-Tec Implants, and similar systems, there’s more stability due to more material within the implant mounting region.

All of these advantages have combined to make Zimmer® hex, Hi-Tec Implants, and other internal hex implants the industry standard for anti-rotation abutments.

A Range of High-Performance Alternatives to Zimmer® Abutments

Because of the compatibility between Hi-Tec Implants and Zimmer® internal hex connection implants, it’s possible to use Hi-Tec abutments on Zimmer® implants, and vice versa.

Clinicians who transition to Hi-Tec Implants will find it easy to provide services even to patients who already have Zimmer® internal hex connection implants installed. For restoration and rehabilitation, Zimmer® abutments can be directly replaced with Hi-Tec Abutments.

Or, looking from another perspective, clinicians who still have an inventory of Zimmer® abutments can use them with their new Hi-Tec implants, providing they are platform matched following our guide in the previous section. This helps to limit waste and make the transition a smooth and cost-efficient process.

If you have avoided switching to a different implant supplier because of concerns about alternatives to Zimmer® abutments and attachments, you’ll be happy to know that Hi-Tec Implants produces an extensive range of common and niche attachments.
