One-piece implants are a viable alternative to conventional implants in certain situations. Simplify the implantation process and improve outcomes for patients.
They are a way to eliminate the implant-abutment junction and reduce bone boss in the surrounding area. Improve implant survival and cut complication rates because of the absence of implant-abutment connection.
We supply a range of state-of-the-art one-piece implants that enable you to provide the best possible service to your patients. Implants with flexible necks and other accessories mean that you always have the items on-hand you need to maximize the likelihood of positive outcomes.
FAQs
At GDT Implants, we provide a comprehensive selection of one-piece implant options designed to address a variety of clinical needs. We have different collar types, "abutment" styles, lengths, and diameters, including flexible neck designs optimized for posterior restorations.
Currently, there are two distinct lines of one-piece implants offered at GDT Implants, and these include the following:
- The OP line: features a vertical neck and smooth abutment design with SLA surface treatment.
- The root-shaped line: characterized by an anatomical neck, the root-shaped line features striped abutment design and RBM surface treatment.
Since one-piece dental implants require less vertical height than two-piece implants, dental practitioners often recommend them in cases involving limited interocclusal space.
One-piece dental implants are also preferred in situations that demand immediate loading. Due to the system’s structural stability, it reduces the risk of micro-movement and bacterial infiltration.
Dentists also recommend one-piece implants in areas with high esthetic requirements. Due to its less complicated prosthetic phase, it can reduce potential complications associated with separate abutment connections. These characteristics make one-piece implants ideal for straightforward, rapid, and aesthetically sensitive dental restoration cases.
Unlike two-piece systems that require delayed or late loading, dental professionals can load one-piece implants directly. Due to their favorable design, these fixtures minimize the risk of complications related to the implant-abutment interface, such as micro-movement and bacterial leakage. This makes them a secure and stable option for immediate loading.
However, it’s important to achieve sufficient initial stability of the implant in the jawbone to ensure successful and immediate loading.
The main complication related to implants is the lack of osseointegration. A one-piece implant can lead to cementation of the crown, causing the cement to remain under the gums. This toxic substance, in copious amounts, can induce peri-implantitis, a class of inflammatory diseases similar to periodontitis.
When installing a one-piece implant, the dental practitioner needs to remove the excess cement after the cementation of the crown.
While it may seem that a two-piece implant may have a higher rate of peri-implantitis due to the higher number of components involved, there is no clinical study that definitively supports this hypothesis.
