Bicon implants have changed my practicing life. Out go screws,torque drivers and expensive special tools. In comes conventionalprosthe tic s a nd the Bico n I AC . T he cost of i mpl ant s to pat ien ts isnow the same as bridgework, so the fee acceptance is not a problem.

Dr. Clive Debenham

The Bicon System is a unique dental implant

system, offering the worldwide dental

community a comprehensive solution since

1985. Bicons engineers and clinicians have beenresponsible for many of the innovations in implant

dentistry for decades.

Bicons unique plateau design follows sound

bioengineering principles which allow for the use

of short implants. Its unique bacterially-sealed,

locking taper, implant to abutment connection

provides for 360 of universal abutment positioning

offering restorative flexibility unmatched by other

implant systems. The sloping shoulder of the

Bicon implant consistently provides for gingivally

aesthetic restorations. These restorations are easily

achieved because the bone that is maintained over

the shoulder of the implant provides support for

the interdental papillae.

Bicons unique design and its revolutionary clinical

techniques have not only passed the test of time,

but also continue to lead the field of implant

dentistry. We welcome your joining Bicon clinicians

from around the world, so that both you and your

patients may also enjoy the clinical benefits of

Bicon.

I have been placing dental implants since 1982. I have successfullyused the 6.0mm Bicon short implant since 1997 in cases thatwould have required grafting procedures and, in some instances,even nerve repositioning. The Bicon short implant providesimplant treatment for patients who otherwise may not have gone

for ward with thei r t reat men t.

Why Bicon?The Bicon implantwas designed to restoredentition without using screws. For this

reason, clinicians, technicians, and patients

do not experience the limitations and

rustrations inherent with the use o screws.

When the Bicon system was frst

introduced in 1985, its 8.0mmlength implants were considered

short most other implants wereat least 1214mm and sometimes

1820mm long!Since then, thenatural progression o Bicons

design philosophy has resulted in5.0mm, 5.7mm, and 6.0mm short

implants, all with proven clinicalsuccess.

The Bicon system has had 3.5mm implants

since 1985. These narrow implants acilitate therestoration o missing maxillary lateral incisors

as well as individual mandibular incisors.The sloping shoulder o the Bicon impl ant

enhances crestal bone preservation whileproviding space or the interdental papillae

oering the opportunity or natural-lookinggingival aesthetics.

Since 1985, each Bicon implant has been grit

blasted with alumina and passivated in anitric acid solution. This innovative controlled

surace is known as Integra-Ti. Since 1988,the Bicon implant has been available with a

calcium phosphate based treatment known asIntegra-CP.

Low-speed drillingat 50RPM without irrigation

has been thesurgical protocol oBicon,since1985.It allows a clinician to harvest the

patients own bonewith titanium reamers orautogenous grating.Slow drillingis orgiving

and is uniqueto Bicon. Additionally,it greatlyextends thelongevity othetitaniu m reamers,

thus reducinga clinicians costs.

The Restorative Dentist

TheBicon System, with its 360o universal abutment positioning and

slopingshouldered implant, oers clinicians theability to consistently

providegingivall y aesthetic restorations.Bi cons restorativetechniques

screwless Integrated Abutment Crown(IAC).Bicon restorative crown

techniques routinely takeless chairtimethan thoseor natural teeth.

The Surgical Specialist

In addition to morepredictableand versatile placement techniques,

Bicons design provides a bacterially-sealed implant to abutment

connection.Bicon Short Implants aor d simpler and consistently more

predictabletreatments, which can signiicantly increasea patients

acceptanceoi mplants.

The Patient

TheBicon System allows the dentist to consistently oer unctional

and gingivally aesthetic restorations to patients, so that they may

truly enjoy implant prostheses that look and eel likenatural teeth.

Additionally,the odors and tastes associated with screws areavoided.

The Laboratory Technician

Many implant systems requiretheabrication o expensivecustomized

abutments.With theBi con System,technicians receivea conventional

or implant-level transer impression rom which a porcelain used to

metal crown,all-ceramic crown,o r ixed and removableoverdenture

aesthetics,the cementless and screwless Bicon Integrated Abutment

Crown(IAC) can also beabricated.

Before the course I knew very little about implants, now I know a great deal

and feel very comfortable doing these. This was the best implant trainingand surgery training I have ever gone to. Also the course is so fun and so

interesting that you really enjoy it. If you ever wanted to ask questions no

matter how hard or easy, they were answered well. This course went way

beyond my expectations!
