Developed in Response to Limitations of Conventional Vertical Implant Placement

Conventional vertical implant placement for removable prosthetics can limit treatment options in cases with reduced bone height or width.

The Non-Crestal™ Implant System was developed to introduce an alternative placement strategy within those anatomical constraints.

Benefits for Patients and Clinicians

benefits to the patient

  • Treatment possibility in cases where conventional vertical placement is not feasible
  • Retention of a removable prosthesis in anatomically limited situations
  • Greater freedom in tooth positioning and esthetic setup
  • Functional stability of the prosthesis while maintaining tissue-supported load

Benefits to the clinician

  • Expanded surgical trajectory options in anatomically limited cases
  • Ability to engage alternative bone regions already present
  • Greater flexibility in implant positioning and angulation
  • Versatility to utilize the system as a standalone retentive solution or in hybrid combination with conventionally placed implants
  • Prosthetic freedom not constrained by attachment height within the occlusal space
  • Preservation of established load-bearing principles in conventional implants

ENGINEERED WITH INTENT

Every element of the Non-Crestal™ Implant System reflects three core design priorities:

Maximize Existing Anatomy OF PATIENT

Designed to engage available bone through multi-axis placement rather than relying solely on vertical access.

Maximize Function While Limiting Implant Load

Designed to support prosthetic stability while reducing masticatory load transfer to the implant structure.

Maximize Prosthetic Function and Esthetics

Attachment positioning outside the occlusal plane permits tooth placement in their most appropriate functional and esthetic positions, without constraint from interarch attachment height.

DESIGN PURPOSE

The Non-Crestal™ Implant System was developed to expand treatment possibilities for removable prosthetic retention with a singular objective — to improve quality of life for patients who may otherwise have limited options.
