 Company Profile
Established by Dr. Uri Arny in 2005, ARDS deals with the development,
manufacturing and marketing of innovative dental implants.

ARDS’ guiding philosophy has inspired the company to develop a

unique drilling technique which causes minimum damage to the
bone and maximizes the primary stabilization of the implants once
Dr. Arny Uri, CEO put in it.

ARDS holds a number of international patents regarding:

1. The shape of the implant’s surface.

2. A simple, bone preserving drilling technique.
3. A unique implant designed for thin ridges.

ARDS’ aspiration for perfection is conveyed in the following ways:

1. A shorter healing phase - immediate implant after extraction.

2. The use of implants also in problematic areas.
3. A user-friendly, simply assigned implant process.

The main advantages of ARDS’ drilling and implanting process:

1. Saving 40% of the bone by reducing the amount of drilled bone.

2. Significantly shortening the process of bone-implant integration
due to a unique design of the implant which increases bone-
implant contact in the surgery phase (in comparison with
conventional implants of the same diameter).
3. A drilling method combined with the shape of the implant which
results in the compression of the spongyosal bone around the
apical part of the implant during its insertion. Thus, the forces are
dispersed along the entire implant and not only at its upper part,
as in common implants held only at the cortical bone at the end
of the implant.
4. The drilling method enables precise control over the placement
and shape of the bore hole. This is attainable by the usage of
leading pins which direct the drill at the correct angle throughout
the process and stabilize it, also in thin ridges.

ARDS’ management’s main office is situated in Rishon-Le-Zion,

Israel. Manufacturing and packaging supervised processes are
being done at ARDS’ production plant located at Teffen
industrial park, Israel.

External Surface
Osseointegration is needed in order to create a durable X500
stabilization of the implant in the bone. In order to intensify the
osseointegration, two processes are required:
The first phase is sand blasting the implant in order to create a
rougher surface area. Generally, cells adhere better onto rough
surfaces. The deep pits created by the blasting procedure, act as
retentive pockets for newly formed bone.
The second phase is coating the implant using bioactive Calcium-
Phosphate.
The sponge-like micro structure of this coating induces an
intense capillary effect for blood and tissue fluids. Thereby it
develops the ambient conditions for the increased adhesion of
the osteoinductive factors contained in these fluids. In addition, X1500
the position of the Ca-Ph crystals towards the implant’s surface
immobilizes the cells responsible for the bone formation.
The result is an expedited osseointegration process (occurring
14-30 days following the implantation). The coating is completely
resorbed in the bone 6-12 weeks after the implantation.

Type of Titanium
ARDS’ implants are composed of medical titanium alloy Ti-6 AL-
4V which retains all manufacturing regulations.

X3000
Manufacturing
ARDS’ implants and reconstruction parts are manufactured at the
company’s production plant, situated at Teffen industrial park in
the north part of Israel. The plant retains a quality control system
and regulations of the highest required level in accordance with
the most severe international approvals.

 Hybrid Dual Thread Screw Implant -
Analytical and Experimental Research
Dr. Uri Arny, Ilan Weissberg M.Sc & Oved Gihon, Mechanical engineer.

Introduction Experimental Method

As the popularity of using implants in dental restorative
procedure gains momentum, there is a need to find in-
novative dental implant, and it will effectively transfer
the loads and provide a necessary stabilization into jaw-
bone.
This paper presents the development results of a novel
implant with a Hybrid Dual Thread Screw as shown in
Fig. 1. This approach allows obtaining a high reinforce-
ment of the implant in the jawbone by a reduction of the
drilling bone volume along with an additional gain of pri-
mary surface contact relatively to classical implants.
To prove the concept, analytical models and experiment
tests were carried out during the development of an im-
plant with Hybrid Dual Thread Screw (HDTS). The ana-
lytical calculations are based on Finite Element Model,
while the experiment tests were done on an artificial
bone made of Fiberglass and Structural foam, which rep-
resents the bone mechanical properties. These unique
experimental tests which have been chosen, since the
clinical tests evaluations on animals are not efficient. The
animal has different dental jaw structure and it requires
a lot of time to get the results.
Force-displacement tests have been carried out on Clas-
sical Cylindrical Implant and HDTS implant both have
diameter of 4.5 mm and 13 mm in length. The implants
have been inserted in an artificial bone specimen shown
in Fig. 2, the cross section dimensions of this specimen
are of a typical mandible as is shown in Fig. 3. An axial
load was applied onto the implant head until failure was
reached. During the static tests the force-displacement
curves were recorded and axial stiffness has been calcu-
lated.

HDTS Implant Description

The unique HDTS dental Implant, shown in Fig. 1, uses
two different thread types, double thread thin grove at
the implant interface area with the cortical bone and
single thread thick groves at the cancellous. This unique
design allows facilitating the transfer of occlusal forces
to the greatest surface area of the bone-implant inter-
face for favorable load distribution. Also it reduces the
amount of bone removed by using a novel drilling pro-
cedure.

Experimental Results
The experimental tests showed that the HDTS implant
could carry higher axial load compared to classical cylin-
der implants, as shown in figure 4. It is also shown that
HDTS implant has higher stiffness then the classical cylin-
drical implant. The stiffness of the implants is compatible
with measured axial stiffness of 180 Kg/mm published in
the literature for Branemark (7 mmº) in trabecular bone.
These results increase the reliability of the preformed
experimental tests.
Analytical Method
Finite Element Model (FEM) of an implant installed in
a standard jawbone cross section has been built using
NASTRAN FEM software. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the influence of HDTS implant versus classical
cylindrical implants on the stress intensity and stress dis-
tribution due to axial load. Two analytical models were
built for the identical specimen types described above.
The Implant stress distribution at the bone cross section
was calculated.
The FEM model of the dental implant bone system used
2-D Plate elements; the model is symmetrical since only
axial (vertical) load had been analyzed, as is shown in
Fig. 5.
Analytical Results
The analytical calculations showed that the HDTS im-
plant have favorable stress distribution over the clas-
sical cylindrical implant. The maximal shear stress level
at the cortical jawbone with HDTS implant is 15% to 25%
lower compared with a classical cylindrical implant, this
is shown in Fig 6, which plots the max

shear stress distribution in the cortical bone under an
axial load of 40 Kg for the both type of implants.
Discussion & Conclusions
The experimental tests showed that HDTS implant
achieved the highest vertical load capability compared
with a classical cylindrical implant. The unique tests
experiments method evaluates in this study provided
short development time by using artificial bone speci-
men. These experiments were done with a background
of analytical calculations. The lower shear stress values
at the cortical bone evaluate for the HDTS implant com-
pared with the classical cylindrical implants provides the
advantage of the HDTS implant regarding on carrying
higher loads and increasing life time of the HDTS im-
plant. This phenomenon is mostly due to the innovative
implant geometry and bone drilling method.
