What are the connections of implants?
External
Internal
Which implant material?
Biocompatible
Function without causing damage to the surrounding tissues
Titanium
Zirconia
Which implant material?
Resist forces during function/parafunction and cyclic loading
Titanium
Zirconia
Which implant material?
Resistance to corrosion and wear
Titanium
Zirconia
Which implant material?
Modulus of elasticity close to the surrounding bone
Titanium
Zirconia
Which implant macro-geometry?
Immediate placement into ext sockets
Threaded
Which implant macro-geometry?
Increase primary stability
Threaded
Which implant macro-geometry?
Increase BIC (bone-implant contact)
Threaded
Which implant macro-geometry?
Greatest surface area and stress distribution
Parallel
Which implant macro-geometry?
Indicated for limited apical space (anatomical constraints)
Tapered
Which implant micro-geometry?
Bone anchorage (too smooth for osseointegration)
Smooth (0-0.4 um)
Which implant micro-geometry?
Weaker bone integration (used before 1995)
Minimally rough (0.5-1 um)
Which implant micro-geometry?
Stronger bone responses (most implants today)
Moderately rough (1-2 um)
Which implant micro-geometry?
Increased incidence of peri-implantitis
Rough (> 2 um)
Which implant type?
Wider implant neck
Tissue level
Which implant type?
Preferred in posterior with thick soft tissue - esthetics are not a concern
Tissue level
Which implant type?
Used for larger implant crowns
Tissue level
