About us
The CleanImplant Foundation is the only organization worldwide conducting fully independent surface cleanliness assessments of dental implants, in accredited laboratories, free of any manufacturer influence.
Our analyses have shown that a significant proportion of sterile-packaged implants carry contamination that is invisible to the naked eye but biologically consequential.
In pursuit of the highest standards of implant cleanliness and manufacturing excellence, the Foundation awards the Trusted Quality Seal exclusively to implant systems that pass our stringent, peer-reviewed verification process. It is the only quality mark in implant dentistry backed by independent laboratory data, cross-batch testing, and review by an internationally recognized Scientific Advisory Board.

Products & Services
The CleanImplant Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization specializing in the scientific analysis of dental implant surface cleanliness.
Implants are tested exclusively in ILAC-MRA-accredited testing laboratories in Germany using standardized analytical methods. Implant systems that meet defined quality criteria are awarded the "Trusted Quality Seal", providing an objective reference for manufacturers, clinicians, patients, and all stakeholders within the implant-industry.
In addition, the CleanImplant Foundation offers:
Certification programs for manufacturers based on independent testing
Certification programs for dental professionals meeting the excellence criteria defined by the Foundation – providing access to validated information, communication tools, and professional resources
Educational and scientific initiatives focused on implant quality and risk awareness
By combining independent laboratory testing with professional certification and education, CleanImplant contributes to greater transparency and supports higher standards and excellence in implant dentistry, ultimately increasing patient safety.
CleanImplant Trusted Quality Seal
Dental implants are sterile. But sterile does not mean clean.
Independent laboratory analyses have confirmed that a significant proportion of commercially available implants carry surface contamination introduced during manufacturing or packaging, invisible to the naked eye, yet capable of triggering inflammatory responses that compromise osseointegration.
The CleanImplant Foundation was established to address this gap: as an independent, non-profit organization, we test dental implants in accredited laboratories using standardized analytical methods, entirely free of manufacturer influence.
The coveted CleanImplant Trusted Quality Seal is awarded exclusively to systems that meet the defined cleanliness criteria, verified across multiple production batches, peer-reviewed by an internationally recognized Scientific Advisory Board, and publicly documented.
It is the only quality mark of its kind in implant dentistry. It cannot be purchased or self-declared. It must be earned.
