Implacare

• Implacare, Hu-Friedy’s implant maintenance instrument, revolutionizes the way you perform implant maintenance.

• With Implacare’s PLASTEEL™ tips, scaling procedures are performed without damage to the abutments.

• Implacare was developed in cooperation with periodontist Dr. Roland Meffert, a renowned clinician in the field of implant dentistry.

Effects on Surface

• These images (at 75x magnification) illustrate how Implacare Scalers do not alter the abutment surface.

Implacare ScalersImplacare Scaler in use, 4R/4L Curette design

• Because the Implacare tips are designed like curettes and scalers, they are easy to adapt around prosthetics (as shown on the left) and are comfortable to use.

• On the right, the curette design allows for extended reach into the interproximal area to assist the clinician in complete deposit removal.

Colorvue Probes

• In addition to Implacare,

Hu-Friedy offers Colorvue probes for the visibility and comfort you need in a replaceable plastic probe that are safe for use on implants.

• Colorvue probes allow clinicians to obtain more efficient and accurate readings, resulting in more time for themselves and patient education.
