Xive

Also known as: XiVE, Xive S, Xive TG, Friadent Xive

A Dentsply Sirona implant system offered in a subgingival screw implant (Xive S) with a deep internal hexagonal connection and a transgingival version (Xive TG) with an external square, both using a three-section hybrid surface.

Research in progress. Some fields on this entry are not yet verified against a primary source, so we have left them blank rather than filling them in — and this page is not published to search engines until they are.

Quick facts

Current statusDentsply Sirona publishes a Xive surgical manual; we did not locate a discontinuation notice.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Implant levelBoth levels are offered: Xive S is a subgingival (bone-level) screw implant and Xive TG is a transgingival (tissue-level) implant with an extended neck.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Body geometryCylindrical screw implants with self-cutting threads. Xive TG carries an extended implant neck terminating in an external square.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Thread designSelf-cutting threads on both the Xive S and Xive TG screw implants.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Apex designManufacturer documentation not located
MaterialManufacturer documentation not located
SurfaceA three-section hybrid surface, with the Friadent plus surface on the endosseous section of the implant body.Manufacturer-reported[1]
ConnectionXive S uses a deep internal hexagonal connection with 3.5 mm deep parallel guide surfaces and six reversible positioning options, restored from the Friadent prosthetic range. Xive TG uses an external square with eight positioning options and a single prosthetic diameter (D 3.8) for all implant diameters.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Platform switchingManufacturer documentation not located
Available diametersXive S: ∅ 3.0, 3.4, 3.8, 4.5 and 5.5 mm. Xive TG: ∅ 3.4, 3.8 and 4.5 mm.Manufacturer-reported[1]
Available lengthsXive S: 8 mm (∅ 3.8, 4.5, 5.5), 9.5 mm (∅ 3.4 and above), 11 mm and 13 mm (all diameters), 15 mm (all diameters) and 18 mm (∅ 3.4, 3.8 and 4.5). Xive TG: 8 mm (∅ 3.8 and 4.5), 9.5, 11, 13 and 15 mm.Manufacturer-reported[1]

Overview

Xive is one of the few systems that offers a bone-level and a tissue-level implant under a single name, which is exactly where the confusion starts: Xive S and Xive TG do not share a prosthetic interface. Xive S has a deep internal hexagon restored from the Friadent component range, while Xive TG terminates in an external square with its own components and a single prosthetic diameter across all implant sizes. The surface is described as a three-section hybrid, with the Friadent plus microstructure confined to the endosseous portion rather than running the full length. For anyone tracing an existing implant, the ∅ 3.0 mm Xive S is worth flagging separately — Dentsply Sirona restricts it to single-tooth anterior replacement and excludes it from the four-implant splinted mandibular protocol.

Technology

Clinical positioning

What the manufacturer says this system is designed for. This is not the same thing as independent clinical evidence, which is set out separately below.

Dentsply Sirona lists Xive D 3.0 for single-tooth replacement in the anterior region, and describes functional immediate restoration with splinting of four screw implants in the mandible, which is not indicated for Xive D 3.0.Manufacturer-reported

The clearances below are held by Xive at brand level and cover its implant range, not Xive 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 →

FDA 510(k) clearance2 records

Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.

Clearance records for Xive 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 Xive.
