FDA Approves Rodo Abutment System

Rodo Medical has received FDA clearance for the Rodo abutment dental system which has the shape-memory Smileloc retentive sleeve.

The sleeve combined with proprietary Rodo abutment and coping, uses Nitinol to create an attachment between a restoration and a dental implant, eliminating the need for cement or screws.

The system is used in tandem with compatible dental implant systems in the upper and lower jaw to retain crowns, bridges and over-dentures. — Cynthia Jessup
