Single-unit implant for narrow ridges

Monolithic design for simplified protocols

The IDL One Piece Implant is a single-body dental implant that integrates the fixture and abutment into one continuous titanium component. This design eliminates the micro-gap between implant and abutment, reduces the number of surgical and prosthetic steps, and enables flapless placement in narrow alveolar ridges where two-piece implants would not fit.

Design rationale

Conventional two-piece implants create a microscopic gap at the implant-abutment interface — a zone where bacterial colonization drives marginal bone loss over time. One Piece Implant eliminates this interface entirely. There is no abutment screw, no connection interface, and no micro-movement under occlusal load. The result is improved long-term soft-tissue health and reduced biological complications.

Geometry and thread design

The implant body features a tapered geometry with progressive threads designed for self-tapping insertion. The coronal portion transitions into the transgingival abutment with a polished finish optimized for soft-tissue contact. The thread profile provides high primary stability in sites where bone width is a constraint, such as mandibular incisor regions and post-extraction sites with thin alveolar walls.

Clinical indications

  • Narrow alveolar ridges where two-piece implants cannot be placed
  • Mandibular anterior region, lateral incisors
  • Flapless surgery protocols
  • Immediate loading with temporary restoration
  • Single-tooth restorations in the aesthetic zone with limited bone
  • Cases where reducing surgical trauma is a clinical priority
