○ Types and Features of Arrow Implants ○

■ One-Stage Implant B-type

Commonly referred to as the B-type, the implant of this type has a transgingival section with
the collar part remaining exposed into the oral environment with a standard single-stage
surgical procedure.

The B-type implants are popularly used in cases with a free end or intermediate missing in Apatite-Blasted Surface Process (ABS) Abrasives

■ One-Stage Wide Implant BW-type
Commonly referred to as the BW-type, the implant of this type has the same features as the
B-type implant except it comes in a wider diameter.

The BW-type implants are suitable for single tooth restorations in the posterior region, cases
with less vertical height availability, for example in the maxillary posterior region, or with poor
bone foundation requiring greater implant/bone interface for adequate osseointegration
compensated with a wider surface area provided by the wider implant diameter. They are also
advantageous to all oral endosteal implant indications expecting heavy loading from biting
forces.

■ Two-Stage Implant C-type anchoring effect in newly grown bone, the roughness
of the surface (RZ-AVE) is set to be about 10μm.

Commonly referred to as the C-type, the implant design of this type allows sub-crestal
placement. Thus, stresses after the implantation are loaded on the alveolar bone to protect
the embedded implants from premature loading and allow standing in the static state. These
features can be utilized most in cases strictly requiring delayed loading, such as cases with
poor bone foundation or in the GBR-treated implantation.
