Popular comparisons
The clearances below are held by ZimVie Dental at brand level and cover its implant range, not Tapered Screw-Vent specifically. We show them here because that is the level at which regulators actually issue them.
Regulatory record
Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

Clearance records for ZimVie Dental were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to ZimVie Dental.
