Screw-Vent : Prosthetics 

Internal Hex with Friction-Fit 

Rock-solid fit
A connection you can depend on

Drive a piton into rock, and it locks firm, giving the climber a solid secure base. Friction-fit abutments form a virtual cold weld connection with the implant, essentially eliminating micromovement, tipping, and vibration. Screw loosening virtually disappears, along with the hours spent on remakes.

• The friction-fit of the 1.5mm deep internal hex distributes forces deeper within the implant, shielding the retention screw from excessive loading. 
• The lead-in bevel improves ability to seat the abutment easily and properly 
• The low profile of the internal connection improves esthetics and allows for a more natural emergence profile, especially in esthetic areas.
  

Friction-fit technology far surpasses that of standard external and internal hex connections. External hexagons fall short because they were originally created only to drive the implant into the surgical site; their outdated design was never meant to serve as an anti-rotational device. Without friction-fit, other internal connections face limitations as the effects of micromovement may not be completely eliminated. Only when you combine the two technologies, friction-fit and internal hex, do you reach the most advanced evolution in implant connections – internal hex with friction fit from Zimmer Dental.
