The 3.5mm diameter implants are generally for mandibular anterior teeth. If practical, their use should be avoided for maxillary anterior and all posterior teeth

From the canine posteriorly, if practical, place one implant per tooth being replaced

It is advisable to have at least 1.0mm of bone around the implant. Therefore, an advisable bone width is 5.5mm to comfortably accommodate a 3.5mm

implant, unless ridge splitting or grafting techniques are employed to widen the site

In the anterior maxilla, it is advisable to place MAX 2.5™ Implants

The width of the alveolar bone may be assessed with a periodontal probe or caliper. It is advisable to have 1.0mm of bone around an implant for a long-term favorable prognosis

For maxillary anterior implants, always anticipate the potential need for ridge splitting or bone grafting techniques

Implant Size Recommendations

The following chart contains recommendations only. Actual clinical conditions and the clinician’s assessment of the patient should be the main criteria for choosing the size of an implant for a

particular area

The 3.5mm diameter implants are generally for mandibular anterior teeth. If practical, their use should be avoided for maxillary anterior and all posterior teeth

The 5.0 x 6.0mm implant is capable of supporting any tooth in the dental arch

From the canine posteriorly, if practical, place one implant per tooth being replaced

Consider using Integra-CP™ implants in poor quality or grafted bone

It is advisable to have at least 1.0mm of bone around the implant. Therefore, an advisable bone width is 5.5mm to comfortably accommodate a 3.5mm implant, unless ridge splitting or grafting techniques are employed to widen the site

In the anterior maxilla, it is advisable to place MAX 2.5™ Implants
