The delicate nature of the implant procedure requires high accuracy and precision in the development of the protective membrane, possible through the use of 3D printing technology.

The protective membrane is very easy to apply. This that will encourage dentists to try the products.

The membrane can be mass produced for distribution to implant manufacturers, according to their specifications. This will save time and money.
