When it comes to dental implant components, surface finish is much more than a matter of appearance, it directly impacts performance, biocompatibility, and patient outcomes. Among available finishing techniques, wet blasting is a superior solution that's trusted to deliver the ideal finish.
Compared to dry blasting or machining alone, wet blasting offers distinct advantages:
• Surface quality: The wet blast slurry medium delivers a smoother, more uniform finish, with controlled roughness and no embedded abrasive.
• Mechanical benefits: Cooling during the process reduces heat damage and residual stresses, while protecting delicate thread geometry.
• Biological compatibility: A homogeneously roughened, contaminant-free surface enhances osseointegration, resists corrosion, and supports reliable sterilisation.
• Process consistency: Wet blasting ensures reproducible results across batches while maintaining a safer, dust-free working environment.
For manufacturers of dental screws for example, the result is a surface that not only meets strict quality requirements but also supports long-term clinical success.
