A message from
Dr. Hilt Tatum, Jr.
First, I want to thank each and every
one of you for helping to make 2014
a very successful and memorable
year. Tatum Surgical was very
fortunate to continue to grow in
2014. This is a direct result of the
support, loyalty, and confidence
of our customers, mentors, and
educators who are spreading the
NIRISAB philosophy.
We are excited to enter into 2015 with new products and
a new look for The Tatum Times. You will notice that the
banner proudly displays that we have 34 years of clinical
use. During this time, I have insisted that the cost of our
Implants and components stay the same. The Tatum Team
works hard to provide you with an economical implant so
you can pass the savings onto your patients.
We are also proud to announce that, we now offer The
Tatum EZ-Fitation Bone Screw Kit. We are confident that
this will make placing RMTB bone blocks easier and also
more predictable.
Again, thank you for your support in 2014, your dedication
to Implant Dentistry today, and the opportunity for us to
serve you in the future.

Our staff has come up with a great idea to share with you. A “Tatum Abutment
Organization Box”. These boxes have 24 compartments to hold abutments in
their designated diameters, lengths, and angles. It makes it so much easier to
keep them organized and neat.
Please let us know
if we can make you
one with your next order
of 20 abutments or more.
