One-piece implants are a practical alternative to conventional implants in specific cases. By eliminating the implant-abutment junction, they reduce bone loss around the implant and decrease complication rates. This streamlined design simplifies the implantation process, making it more efficient and improving overall patient outcomes.
Our extensive inventory includes a variety of advanced one-piece implants, featuring flexible neck options and essential accessories. These implants provide superior integration with the surrounding bone and soft tissues, ensuring stability and longevity. With our comprehensive selection, you have the tools needed to achieve the best results for your patients, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics in dental restorations.
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.
