Abstract

For several years, new implant designs have been available on the market. These implants, called tray implants, feature wide coils with a reduced body diameter. In this presentation, we will review the fundamentals of bone and mucosal biology surrounding implants. We will then see how these new tray implants will promote this biology from both a mucosal and bone perspective. We will also see the significant differences that exist between these implants, which at first glance all seem identical, in order to be able to establish the indications according to the sites to be treated.

Learning Objectives

• Explain bone biology around the implant body 
• Discuss soft tissue biology around the implant collar
• Explain the new implant designs
• Demonstrate how these designs promote biology (bone and soft tissue)
• Discuss the correct choice of implant according to the site
