Can you say terrified? If you guys are not worried about TM, don't post any more fake garbage on this stupid worthless site. Go crawl back to your own company's miserable forum and post more nonsense for recruiters and unhappy reps to read. None of you have posted 1 piece of truth here. You are all just scared of losing your "really high end important customers" to some real new legitimate breakthrough technology.
Checkmate
Oh, so the king of the false posts and the guy who trick-or-treats as a dentist on Halloween doesn't like reality? What a shock.
The TM has already had a recall on the 3.5mm and 4.1mm BREAKING at the apical tip during insertion. This is one fact. Fact # 2: the protocols during placement had to be changed by the company and urgently sent to the few people who've actually placed this abomination. Fact 3: the thing is so weak (where, obviously the much-too-porous section section is, what a surprise) that they require splinting in the posterior, per Zimmer's own instruction. Why would any modern-day 4.1mm implant require that it be splinted? You're right--clinician confidence must be SOARING.
It had been speculated by experts (not you) that the union of the threaded portion (solid) and where the trabecular portion (porous and weaker) meets, that there could be shearing issues. That has already happened and prompted the recall. It's also been speculated that if the highly porous section is exposed, it will be a perio nightmare. This has been proven widely in the dentition with other porous surfaces, which resilient periodontal pathogens invade and cannot be removed (Endopore, TiUnite, etc.). This is not disputed anywhere. Porosity in implant surfaces may be fine in other areas of the body, but NOT the periodontium. Zimmer should have recognized that from the beginning, but they've never made a dental implant themselves before, so they have no comparitor. Better and more experienced dental companies have learned more over the years.
Finally, scared of you? really? You're not talented enough to steal from a blind man, much less me.
Let the facts wash over you before you start calling "checkmate" next time, you dope. If the TM ever even makes a dent in the market, I'll personally pay for your psychiatry appointments where they can work on your tendencies to continually pretend you're a dentist.
