DSI MC - Narrow Implants

Implantology is a complex field where mistakes can be costly for both doctors and patients. One major challenge arises when there is limited space for an implant. This lack of space can prevent the use of regular diameter implants, and any attempts to fit wider implants into narrow horizontal ridges can compromise the stability of the final restoration.

So let’s produce a narrower implant!

Sounds like a logical solution... Or is it?

During the last 20 years, the use of narrow diameter implants (<3.5mm) has contributed significantly to the restoration of areas with limited prosthetic space and helped to avoid ridge bone manipulations.

However, now we also have enough laboratory testing and clinical use statistics to see the whole picture: Narrow implants usually have an increased risk of fracturing due to their thinner walls, which could not only compromise the prosthetic components but also lead to bone overloading (Allum et al., 2008). Abutment fracture has been identified as the primary cause of prosthetic failure in two-piece narrow implants (Bordin et al., 2016). The narrower the diameter of the implant, the smaller the area for stress distribution, and the more the implant is susceptible to damage accumulation (Allum et al., 2008). Studies have shown that there is an increasing likelihood of survival from narrow to standard and large-diameter implants, with significant differences favoring cemented prostheses over screw-retained prostheses (Bonfante et al., 2015).

The connection type is the major weak point of narrow and ultra-narrow (2.9-3.3)  two-piece systems. It interferes with the implant wall width, making internal connections more unstable at this level.

So, what can be done when conventional implants aren't an option? Well, we got you covered.

DSI MC One-piece Implants feature a monolithic design combined with a tapered implant body, expanding placement options while allowing single-stage protocol and great initial stability.

Grade 5 titanium alloy construction and compressive threads offer maximum strength, while the integral abutment can be used for little to no additional adjustment required. Snap-on impression caps simplify the restorative process.

Available in a range of sizes, starting from a jaw-dropping 2.4mm diameter and in both straight and bendable versions, this one-piece Implant works great in virtually all tooth locations but shines in narrow ridges and tight-place situations, such as maxillary lateral and mandibular incisors.

Numerous studies show that the use of monoblock implants without abutment-implant connections can prevent bacterial accumulation in micro-gaps. This advantage is only one in a long list, featuring reduced surgical time, and a straightforward restorative technique.
