3. Hu-Friedy values your input Now we invite clinicians to try Implacare & Colorvue and tell us what they think! The ADIA recipients are encouraged to provide their feedback on the products once they have had an opportunity to trial them. The feedback Hu-Friedy receives is critical to the product development process and will assist us in creating new and innovative implant maintenance products.

4. 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.

5. Effects on Surface These images (at 75x magnification) illustrate how Implacare Scalers do not alter the abutment surface. Untreated. After 25 strokes with plastic scaler containing graphite fibers. Note the scratches. After 25 strokes with Implacare Scalers. No surface alteration.

Implacare Scalers Implacare 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. 4R/4L excellent adaptation4R/4L interproximal reach

7. 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.
