Implant with threaded internal hex: can you identify it?

Last Updated: Feb 20, 2014

This implant in the lower left first molar site was placed in the UK a couple of years ago. The only info I was given is that it’s a DIO brand, 3.5mm, 10degree(?) As seen in the intra-oral photo, the implant features a threaded internal hex along all or most of it’s length. This is something I have never seen before. After corresponding on multiple occasions with reps from both DIO UK and DIO US, I was finally told that this in not, in fact, a DIO implant. At this point I’m quite frustrated and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
