Glidewell has announced the rebranding of its Hahn™ Tapered Implant System to the Glidewell HT™ Implant System. Developed in collaboration with implant pioneer Dr Jack Hahn, this rebranding aims to act as a significant milestone in the dental implant industry, according to a press release from Glidewell.
The original Hahn Tapered Implant System has gained widespread adoption among dentists worldwide for its simplified surgical protocol, reported 99.2% success rate, and affordability. Building upon this legacy, the Glidewell HT Implant System will retain the design features that have been said to make its predecessor a go-to solution for dental professionals.
Manufactured using high-strength titanium alloy, Glidewell HT Implants feature a machined collar for crestal bone and soft-tissue preservation, and an aggressive thread design for high primary stability across all bone types. Moreover, the comprehensive system includes a range of surgical instruments and prosthetic components, that are designed to enable placement and restoration across various indications.
One of the primary goals of this rebrand is to reinforce Glidewell's commitment to providing clinicians with enhanced restorative experience and clinical support. Jim Glidewell, founder and president of Glidewell, highlighted the philosophy behind the collaboration with Dr Hahn, stating in the press release, “A big reason Dr Hahn and I teamed up was our shared philosophy of making quality implant treatment available to more patients, as well as more profitable for implant practices.”
Affordability remains a key factor, according to Glidewell.
“The days in which dentists reasonably paid hundreds of dollars for an implant are over,” Glidewell emphasized in the press release. “With the Glidewell HT Implant System, we aim to free practices from the burden of overpriced implants through everyday surgical and restorative cost savings.”
