The Southern Implants® External Hex implants are intended to treat partially or fully edentulous patients eligible for placement of one or more dental implants as a means of fixing a permanent or removable single crown, partial or full-arch dental prosthesis in the upper or lower jaw. The devices allow for immediate or delayed prosthetic restoration based on the user’s evaluation of the patient’s eligibility.
The External Hex implant is a self-tapping implant made of commercially pure special Grade 4 Titanium (UTS ≥900 Mpa). Implants are available with either a tapered or parallel walled body shape. All implants are surface-roughened up to the collar using Southern Implants’ proven surface. The surface has a Sa value of a 1.4 microns. The External Hex implant is also available in the ® angulated platform Co-Axis design. With a built-in platform angulation of 12°, 24° and 36°, this design enables tilting of the implant without compromising the restorative emergence angle. Cover screws and healing abutments are sold separately.

Founded in 1987 by engineer Graham Blackbeard, Southern Implants is rooted in design innovation and the manufacture of medical devices. Swedish surgeon and professor P. I. Branemark, known as the “father” of modern dental implantology, invited highly experienced South African specialists and academics to train with him in the mid-1980s. Upon their return to South Africa, the specialists introduced the science of implant dentistry to two leading Universities. Graham Blackbeard was contacted by the specialists to manufacture components to complete treatment for patients. In 1988, Southern Implants started manufacturing implants and associated products. Southern Implants is a leading provider of unique and innovative dental implant products with a focus on top-end professional users who want more choices. Southern’s expertise in research, development and manufacturing of dental implants allows us to provide Innovative Treatment Solutions that will reduce treatment times and improve patient outcomes. Our global network of professional representatives are dedicated and committed to provide high level technical support. We aim to compliment the clinician’s ability to deliver exemplified standards of care to their patients and referral base.
