The X IMPLANT has the purpose di attack the biofilm that forms around the dental implant and determinants the “implant disease” that is Peri-implant. Peri-implant manifests with a initial phase that is called mucositis and a more advance phase called Peri-implantitis.

The bacteria that cause this pathology are the same ones that are responsible of periodontal disease. In the mucositis are involved the soft per implants part but not the peri implant bone constituent.

The symptoms are manifested with the inflammation of gum tissue that determinates pain and easy bleeding. The peri-implant represents the evolution of mucositis, the bone reabsorption determinates a perimplant bone pocket. 

Long to go the per-implant leads to detachment from the bone component. The current treatment is based of administration of topical/chemical drug therapy and/or topical drug therapy. 

The treatment with X IMPLANT system aims to attack the biofilm that forms around the implant and implant-prosthetic structures. Referring to the study of Prof. Bill Costerton of the Biofilm Center of the University of Montana in 1994 where laboratory tests showed the decontaminant action of an electromagnetic field on the biofilm. 

The “electrode” effect of the plant is exploited, with the plant itself that is crossed by a high-frequency electromagnetic wave that breaks the chemical and ionic bonds of the bacterial biofilm. This movement acts on the biofilm without damaging the peri-implant structures (soft and hard tissue).
