UTM Prama Power innovation. Advanced technology, amazing results.
Discover the uniqueness of Prama Power, the intramucosal implant with a convergent neck and UTM surface, designed to offer superior clinical performance. Better fibroblast adhesion, early activation and a biological seal that revolutionizes the relationship between the implant and soft tissues.
Arrangement of murine myofibroblasts on the UTM surface after 72 hours observed with fluorescence microscopy - in vitro experimentation.
The pairs of nuclei close but already separated and well distinguishable in blue show how at 72 hours the fibroblasts are in the cytokinesis phase, therefore close to complete duplication. This behavior of the cells in contact with the UTM translates clinically into rapid healing of the soft tissues.

During the opening of the flap for the insertion of a second implant adjacent to the existing one, the collagen fibers around the Prama neck are strongly adhered, proving the biological seal that is created in this area.
Biological seal: a new era for peri-implant soft tissues.
The convergent neck that protects and promotes healing.
Thanks to the UTM treatment, Prama Power promotes optimal integration of peri-implant soft tissues, ensuring long-term stability and health. An innovation that makes the difference in clinical daily life.
Scientific evidence, concrete results.

A groundbreaking histological study in humans just published in Clinical Oral Implants Research, elaborated by means of synchrotron tomography , has demonstrated that the synergy between the convergent profile of the intramucosal component and the UTM surface improves the adhesion and early activation of fibroblasts , favoring the formation of a biological seal and promoting the integration of the peri-implant soft tissues. Synchrotron tomography , together with the significant difference in the height of the connective tissue (vertical thickness) between convergent and divergent groups, has also highlighted the significantly positive effect of the 3D micro-lined UTM surface (CONV-UTM)
compared to the machined convergent one (CONV-MAC) and, even more, compared to the
divergent (DIV-MAC) in terms of the density of intertwining collagen bundles.
The study demonstrated the positive effect of the macrogeometry of the convergent abutments
compared to traditional ones, they differ in terms of collagen fiber density.
The convergent geometry of the implant-prosthetic portion in contact with the soft tissues plays a key role in the quality of peri-implant healing.
