Hahn Tapered Implant System

Glidewell Laboratories, a provider of dental products, implant solutions and laboratory services, has announced the release of the Hahn Tapered Implant System.

Dr. Jack Hahn, for whom the system is named, is known for his development of the original tapered implant, which went on to become one of the most widely used systems in the industry. Leveraging that experience and his 45-year career as a clinician and innovator, Hahn oversaw the design and creation of this implant, with the goal of making the benefits of implant therapy more affordable to a larger patient population.

The Hahn Tapered Implant System is the culmination of a partnership between Hahn and Jim Glidewell, president and CEO of Glidewell Laboratories, whose own career track record includes numerous innovations in the dental industry. Together, they devised this new system to continue the evolution of the tapered implant, in hopes of enhancing the quality of treatment while reducing the cost of care.

Hahn has placed and restored more than 5,000 NobelReplace implants since developing the system for Nobel Biocare nearly 20 years ago. His clinical observations made during this period revealed several key areas for improvement. These serve as the basis for his new implant system.

Engineered to engage a maximum amount of bone and achieve a high degree of primary stability in an extensive range of clinical situations, the Hahn Tapered Implant System is the next step in the evolution of the tapered implant.

Its design features have been carefully crafted to help clinicians mitigate patient trauma and reduce chair time, promote long-term integration and facilitate immediate provisionalization and other prosthetic considerations.

With a pronounced thread design that increases bone contact, the Hahn Tapered Implant enables precise control of positioning and angulation during placement.

The Hahn Tapered Implant System incorporates a unique thread pattern that establishes stability in all qualities of bone. Its tapered, root-form body and wide array of sizes allow for placement in all regions of the mouth, from tight anterior spaces to first molar sites. This advanced system is well-suited for placement in fresh extraction sockets, where the implant’s sharp threads engage the lingual wall and thereby help practitioners avoid the facial plate.

The Hahn Tapered Implant in-cludes coronal microthreads designed for crestal bone preservation and a machined collar to facilitate soft-tissue maintenance. The conical, internal hex connection provides a secure, stable prosthetic seal. The angled thread pattern of the implant enables swift insertion, with self-tapping grooves to facilitate delivery and initial stability.

Engineered and manufactured in the United States, the Hahn Tapered Implant System is compatible with popular surgical instrumentation already used in many implant practices. Its simplified surgical protocol includes implant-specific drills that precisely control the diameter and depth of the osteotomy. The system includes a comprehensive assortment of prosthetic components to support the full range of traditional and custom restorative protocols.
