Titanium for implant maintenance: the titanium working ends remove accumulated plaque film from implant necks without damaging the implant surface — the material choice that makes routine maintenance around implants safe. Manufacturer literature (PDF).
Titanium for implant probing: regular pocket-depth measurement around implants is essential for catching peri-implantitis early, and the titanium probe lets you measure along the implant without damaging its sensitive surface. Manufacturer literature (PDF).
