The dental implant designed to preserve bone

The iBone E dental implant allows implantation in the greatest number of indications, especially in extraction/immediate placement, but also for sites with low bone density or reduced apical space.

etk®, your supplier of ibone E dental implants

The ibone E dental implant is intended to be used for partial or complete tooth loss, either in the maxilla or the mandible. Depending on the patient’s anatomy, it shall be placed in the juxta-crestal or subcrestal position for more aesthetic restauration with adapted management of the biological width and healing.

Indications for use

– Post-extraction surgeries
– Suitable for all bone densities
– Ideal for poorly vascularised bone

Co-developed with Prof. Hervé TARRAGANO

“Preserving the essential means preserving the bone. The thread performance and reduced core diameter of the subcrestal implant, and the ability to drill beyond the body of the implant, mean that healing pockets are formed, which fill with a collection of blood and bone, ensuring optimum osseointegration. iBone® thus marks the third generation of implants whose principle consists in respecting the patient’s ecology and leaving room for living while guaranteeing unparalleled implant success.” Prof. H. Tarragano

A design intended to guarantee optimal primary stability

The iBone E dental implant is available in 3 thread sizes to allow you to tailor the implant to the bone density.

Large threads to leave room for the living

Reduction of the implant body while maintaining optimal primary stability to preserve the bone

Single and multi-unit connections with the Naturactis, Naturall+ and iBone S dental implant

The ibone E dental implant has an internal hexagonal tapered connection to guarantee:

– Airtight prosthetic seal
– Stable implant/prosthetic part assembly
– Precise orientation of prosthetic components
With the same connection for the Naturactis, Naturall+ and iBone S dental implants, it means:
– Streamlining of the inventory of prosthetic parts
– Simplified exchange between the implantologist and its referring dentists
– Simplified exchange between the dental practice and laboratory
A single implant connection for all diameters and all prosthetic platforms:
– Choose whichever gingival platform you want, without worrying about the implant’s diameter. – A simplified treatment plan.

A conical implant body to preserve the bone

– Optimisation of the implant near curved roots – Optimisation of the primary stability – Limits apical compression

An atraumatic and engaging apex to guarantee ease of insertion while preserving the living

– The threads at the apex increases the implant’s self tapping effect and attaches to the apex better – Fully safe to use in the sinus floor

STAE® surface quality, backed by 27 years of clinical experience in surface finish.

The combination sandblasting and etching technology gives the implant a dual-roughness surface quality, which is optimal for osteointegration.
– Sandblasting of the titanium oxide to get macroroughness.
– Acid etching to get microroughness.

IBone® Dental Implant

As well as offering excellent primary stability, comparable to conventional implants, iBone®, with its reduced body and wide Threads, minimizes the amount of metal in the mouth while providing a more developed contact surface with the bone and space for bone healing. These properties are complemented by a low-torque insertion that minimizes bone heating for increased healing potential and better bone reconstruction.

More than just an implant, iBone® establishes a new protocol in implantology: simple, safe, and accessible, for a less invasive and more conservative result, whatever the implant indication. It is a multi-purpose implant that is more respectful of bone capital and is also a simpler alternative to grafts and sinus lifts.

The IBone® Protocol

In the iBone® protocol, a 'biological bond' is obtained thanks to the empty spaces created at the bone-implant interface. The vascularization of these pockets allows calcium and phosphorus ions present in the blood to be absorbed by the titanium oxide surface of the implant. This calcified afibrillar layer, observed in vitro and in vivo, allows the adhesion of mesenchymal cells, pre-osteoblasts, and osteoblasts, which initiate bone healing.

Less Metal in the Mouth, More Peri-Implant Bone

In the iBone® protocol, priority is given to the bone and the blood clot. The implant's dimensions are reduced as much as possible to create a healing space between the drill hole and the implant. This healing space fills with blood and then with new bone.

The iBone® implant reduces the volume of metal in the bone by up to 34% compared with a conventional implant, allowing the bone to express itself.

More bone-implant contact surface

The wide threads of the iBone® implant mean that the bone-implant contact surface is up to 42% greater than that of a conventional implant.

Gentle installation

The torque consumed during implant placement is reduced by 42% compared to a conventional implant. The installation protocol generates less heating of the bone and creates optimal healing conditions.

Excellent primary stability

The average ISQ measured at implant insertion was 73.

Simplified Surgery

The reduced dimensions of the implant, combined with its performance in terms of bone-implant contact surface and primary stability, mean that it can be used in areas with low bone heights, avoiding complex surgery such as grafts and sinus lifts.

The perfect osmosis between dentist and prosthetist

Choose your emergence profile with the iPhysio anatomical abutment corresponding to the tooth. Once fixed in the mouth, it will allow the tissues to develop until the final prosthesis. The impression and a provisional are made on this abutment, without dismantling. The digital impression automatically identifies the abutment to the laboratory, giving it the required emergence profile.

IBone® - Iphysio®: The 100% Bio-Friendly Combo

iPhysio® is the ideal complement to iBone®.
This unique anatomical part can be used as a healing abutment, a scanbody and a temporary tooth support. It enables the natural emergence profile to be retained throughout treatment without dismantling (no destruction of the mucosal attachment and retention of the emergence profile throughout treatment).
Guided from A to Z, iBone® and iPhysio® constitute the most conservative and codified protocol in implantology.

Optimization Of Implantation In The Posterior Mandibular Sector

Dr Bertrand Hervé, a dental surgeon practicing in Coutances, has been installing iBone® implants for around 3 years. The practitioner illustrates the potential of this new implant design through a clinical case. Two iBone® implants are placed in the mandibular posterior sector to create an implant-supported bridge. This is a standard indication of the iBone® range. In other more constrained areas such as the sub-sinus area, iBone® can avoid complex surgeries or grafts.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm worried about bone loss because of the space between the implant and the bone.

The space between the implant neck and the cortical bone is a maximum of 0.4 mm. This space is necessary to free the cortical bone from the mechanical stresses that can lead to its resorption.

I'm afraid of a lack of primary stability because the implant floats.

The implant is attached by the Threads. The protocol is designed to ensure that the average stability obtained when the implant is inserted is 65.5. The tests carried out by the Research & Development department are highly methodical. They test all types of implants in all bone densities. The ISQ is measured at each drill pass to ensure that the ISQ during the last drill is sufficient for versatile use.

How much space should I leave between two implants?

The reference value to be considered between two implants is the space at the neck. The recommendations are the usual ones. In the mesodistal plane :
1) Allow 2 mm between the implant and the adjacent natural teeth.
2) Allow 3 mm between two adjacent implants.
In the vestibulo-palatine-lingual direction:
1) If possible, leave 1.5 to 2 mm of bone around the vestibular, palatal, and lingual surfaces.
