Bicon Short Implants: Lunch & Learn

Course Details and Registration:

Details
Decades of continuous successful use of the plateau-designed Bicon implant has demonstrated that the initial understanding of dental implant theory and practice has undergone an evolutionary change. The successful use of Bicon short implants is due to the predictable formation and stability of its surrounding bone.

This course will provide a brief synopsis of various aspects of the science behind the practical application and usage of short implants. It will also provide a basic understanding of the Bicon surgical and restorative techniques. Additionally, the course will have an overview of advanced techniques where Bicon Short Implants offer more possibilities to reduce the need for complex grafting procedures.

About Short Implants

The Bicon short implant is an example of a time proven geometric design that successfully transfers the occlusal forces on its prosthetics to its surrounding bone by appropriately integrating the following features: a bacterially-sealed, 1.5 degree locking taper abutment to implant connection and a sub-crestally placed, sloping shouldered implant with a plateaued tapered root form body.

Additionally, these integrated features not only compensate for the implant’s ankylosed nature by successfully transforming occlusal forces to acceptable strains within the bone, they also provide for healthy and gingivally aesthetic peri-implant tissues, as well as for the callus formation of cortical like bone with central vascular systems. More importantly, the entirety of this design offers the patient and clinician alike the ability to place an implant in edentulous sites where there is minimal bone height, thus not only avoiding the costs and morbidity of bone grafting procedures, but also the costs of just not being able to place an implant.
