The warranty, effective since May 1, 2015, will replace a LOCATOR Overdenture Implant (LODI) or SATURNO Narrow Diameter Implant (SNDI) for a $25 processing fee for each qualifying implant. The company's CEO, Steve Schiess, said this type of warranty is typical with standard-diameter implant manufacturers. He also said that due to the lower overall cost of narrow-diameter implants and the fact that some of these systems were originally designed as temporary solutions, many competitive systems are not backed by a replacement warranty. Schiess added that ZEST's implants, however, were always designed as permanent solutions. Complete details of the warranty can be found at Zestanchors.com. 60 JULY 2015 // dentaltown.com Forward Science Technologies Announces New Biopsy Service Forward Science Technologies (FST), a company with a focus on the oral oncology market, has added a new service to its line of products dedicated to combatting the rise of oral cancer. The product, PathID, focuses on the uniqueness of the oral cavity. Unlike most pathology services, PathID will be read exclusively by oral pathologists, focusing on detailed pathology results to better treat each patient. Free case consultations will come with each PathID biopsy reading. With the addition of PathID, FST now has multiple testing options for dental offices to utilize for early diagnosis. CytID, a liquidbased cytology swab; hpvID, an oral HPV point-in-time test; phID, a chairside pH test; and now PathID, a nationwide biopsy service. All are services offered by ID Laboratories, a division of FST. http://www.ADAFoundation.org http://www.dentaltown.com http://www.Zestanchors.com http://www.dentaltown.com
