Maxillent, a dental implant technology company, has signed an exclusive contract with Pioneer Richteeth Medical Distribution Shanghai for the distribution of the iRaise sinus lift implant in Hong Kong.
iRaise is designed to address a key difficulty in implant surgery: the sinus lift procedure, which is required in 20% of dental implant cases when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw to support implants, according to the company.
iRaise provides a minimally invasive alternative to the sinus lift. The technology is based on a unique dental implant with an internal channel, which allows the dentist to perform a sinus lift using a simple hydraulic method, according to Maxillent.
