Our Mission
More Safety for Your Patients
Successful healing of a dental implant is a function of many factors. Nothing is as pivotal for the so-called ‘Osseointegration’ as the sterility and cleanliness of the dental implant itself. After unboxing, every implant must be free of foreign particles and cell-toxic contaminants resulting from deficits in the complex chain of production. Unfortunately, sterility does not always equate with a clean surface.

Why poor-quality implants
put patients‘ health at risk.
Facts matter
Thorough testing
Our studies have detected significant impurities on many sterile packaged and ready-to-use dental implants. These residues are related to unwanted biological consequences associated with peri-implantitis, bone loss, and potentially implant failure. Therefore, patient safety and protection against substandard medical devices are paramount for the CleanImplant Foundation.
Implants Reviewed
We have tested implant types of all materials: titanium, titanium alloys, and zirconia.
Implant Brands
Quality assessments on implants from all international manufacturers and countless regional providers.
Years of Testing
Benefit from our many years of professional expertise in the field of dental implant evaluations.
Full transparency
Independent Peer-Review
As a non-profit organization, the CleanImplant Foundation operates with rigid standards of transparency. The Foundation commissions exhaustive manufacturer-independent inspections of sterile-packaged implants for surface cleanliness. Comprehensive testing reports provide indications of possible quality deficiencies following cross-batch tests and a strict, non-biased peer review. All tests are exclusively performed in specialized and officially accredited testing laboratories according to DIN ISO standards.
