Bicon Dental Implants

In other dental implant systems, the post is screwed into the implant. As a result, the implant and post are threaded so they can screw together. These threads allow for gaps, however small, that provide the perfect breeding ground for colonies of bacteria. Comparatively, Bicon implants are hollow (see image) and the post is gently driven down into the implant during implantation. This process allows the implant to form a friction fit with with the post. This friction fit is tight enough to prevent bacteria from entering the implant and forming a colony. This approach has the additional advantage of preventing the problem of screw loosening. This screw can become loose leading to loss of the implant or the bridge or attachment placed onto the post. With no screw to become loose the Bicon system avoids this problem.
