Preliminary Evaluation of C1 Implants

Introduction
The Center of Oral Implantology at the
Colombian School of Dentistr y has
evaluated a new implant system made by
MIS Technologies LTD.
The C1 Implants are conical, self-tapping
implants with three parallel micro rings at
the coronal area. The surface treatment is a
combination of sandblasting and acid etching. Its
conical connection features platform switching
as well as an internal anti-rotation mechanism.
The implants are color-coded based on their
restorative platform.
We selected five patients who needed one
to four implants as part of their restorative
treatment plan. In four cases implants were
placed in the mandible. In these cases, the
bone was classified as type I and type II
bone. The fifth case required placement of
an implant at anterior maxilla. Bone type was
classified as type III.
Altogether, our surgeons: Dr. Calvache and
Dr. Ferrigno used twelve implants. Eight
were 3.75 diameter implants; four 10mm
long and four 11.5mm long, and four were
4.2 diameter impalnts; one 10 mm long and
three 11.5mm long. None of the implants were
immediately loaded.
The following parameters were evaluated
during the surgical phase: drilling sequence,
delivery to site, insertion, stability, cover screw or
healing cap handling and an overall evaluation.
Conclusions
Based on this preliminary evaluation of twelve
C1 implants, our surgeons concluded the
following:
▪ The surgical kit's arrangement is logical,
ergonomic, and non-complex. Following the
correct sequence was easy.
▪ The double packing system ensures
sterilization and safety of the implants.
▪ The conical root-shaped body of the implants ,
their thread design and the self-tapping property,
as well as their ability to mildly compress bone,
enhance implants' primary stability.
▪ The micro rings on implant’s neck and the
dual thread design improve bone to implant
contact at the cervical zone.
▪ The conical connection offers better seal
and minimizes micro-movements, ensuring
preservation of bone.
▪ The color coding of the platforms, visible
both within the internal connection and on the
various components really is a great advantage.
▪ The full range of pilot drills, each with a builtin stopper, helps to determine the correct
length, enhance safety and overall facilitates
the surgical procedure.
▪ The final drills, which are packed with each
implant, easily cuts through bone.
▪ The direction indicator tools facilitates the
identification of the three dimensional position
of the implants and its connection.
▪ The insertion system is very convenient and
minimizes the overall number of tools.
This initial evaluation presents positive results.
However, it is necessary to develop research
studies that will be able to present supportive
conclusions, based upon scientific evidencebased data.
