Enhanced SmartPeg connection design for selected conical implant systems
Sep 11, 2026
The Osstell SmartPeg portfolio is continuously reviewed and updated to support new implant systems, expand compatibility, and incorporate design improvements where beneficial.
Following a recent review of the designs, SmartPegs associated with selected conical implant interfaces have been redesigned. Previously, these SmartPegs relied on the coronal top surface of the implant, creating a flat-to-flat connection. The updated designs now consistently engage the internal conical surface of the implant interface.
This improvement provides a more robust and reliable connection while reducing the risk of interference from hard or soft tissue overgrowth. The updated designs are also better suited for subcrestal implant placement.
Important information for existing users
Existing SmartPegs remain fully functional and can continue to be used. When it is time to reorder, we recommend transitioning to the updated SmartPeg design where applicable.
The SmartPeg Types covered by this update are listed below:
Type 22 Type 28 Type 40 Type 47 Type 48 Type 49 Type 58
