BICON SHORT® IMPLANTS provide dentists with flexible solutions in challenging clinical situations. Their shorter lengths enable clinicians to confidently avoid vital structures, often eliminating the need for numerous grafting procedures.
With Bicon, the notion that longer implants are always better is challenged. In many cases, shorter implants prove to be the more advantageous solution, addressing clinical needs more effectively.

Implant Selection
- All implants are packaged with a healing plug.
- The choice of implant length and width depends upon available bone and expected occlusal loads.
- For an aesthetic emergence profile, the Bicon Implant is designed to be placed below the crest of the alveolar ridge to the extent that the implant is 5.0mm below the facial crest of the gingiva.
- The implant may be placed at or slightly above the alveolar crest, if an aesthetic emergence profile is not a concern.
- In general, choose the widest but not necessarily the longest implant the bone will allow.
- Posteriorly to the canine, place one implant per tooth if practical.
- See reference for depth indicators on the 2.0mm pilot drill and the latch reamers.
