Hybrid Mini Implants: A New Level of Precision Prosthetics

Versatile, with interchangeable abutments, providing complex, multi-functional solutions tailored to your needs for cases treatable with mini implant-supported prosthetics. One- and two-piece, immediately loadable, extra-narrow, standard and extra-short ball-head, locator-head, tapered, and multi-unit head Hybrid implants offer a wide range of applications for plastic, zirconia, titanium and cobalt-based dental restorations.

Clinical applications of Hybrid mini implants:

Patients with limited bone volume are becoming increasingly common, and they naturally wish to fully restore their dental function. To meet this need, BIONIKA developed the Hybrid implant system, which enables the fabrication of versatile dental restorations even for these patients.

Removable prosthetics

For patients with no remaining teeth, a complete denture can be fabricated. In this case, one option is a removable prosthesis. Typically, 2–4 implants are placed for removable restorations, or 6–8 in the upper jaw, depending on bone quality and load distribution. The ball-head solution can already be considered a classic and is the most widely used retention option. The Hybrid mini system includes implants with both 1.8 mm (micro) and 2.5 mm (standard) diameter ball heads. A 2.3 mm (medium) ball head can also be ordered upon individual request.

By comparison, the use of one-piece or two-piece mini implants with locator or torus-shaped heads is a relatively newer approach. These provide greater stability to the prosthesis even with fewer implants.
A major advantage of the Hybrid mini solution is the ability to replace worn ball heads and locator heads.

Bar-retained implant-supported removable dentures

In addition to the implants, a custom-fabricated metal bar can be placed and screwed to the implants, providing even greater support and stability for the prosthesis. The bar is fixed to 2–6 implants, distributing the load more evenly and thereby extending their service life.

With bar-retained prostheses, the dentist and dental technician also have the option, when designing and fabricating the restoration, to position the ball head or locator head not in the axis of the implant but at an optimally selected position on the bar. Implant-supported denture retention brings a significant improvement in quality of life for patients with removable prostheses, as their denture becomes far more stable than with conventional removable dentures, potentially fixed with denture adhesive. Both chewing and speech feel effortless and natural.

Optimum Concept - the economical solution

Slim Hybrid mini implants are also suitable for fabricating high-stability, screw-retained restorations with as few as 4 implants. A temporary prosthesis can be placed on the day of surgery. Immediate improvement in function, speech, and aesthetics. Treatment times are shorter and costs can be lower compared to conventional implant treatment methods.

Safe Solution - the secure choice

Placing 6 implants can further increase the stability of the restoration. This is particularly advantageous in cases of high masticatory force. The use of longer implants allows a greater bone-to-implant contact surface, thereby avoiding the need for bone augmentation. Favorable bone level for tilted and axial implants. High retention and osseointegration rates.
