HISTOLOGY Retrieval of sinus elevations after 3 and 6 months sho wed progressive resorption of SynthoGraft particles and increasing bone regeneration. SynthoGraft ofers a unique structure which provides stability, while its micro-porosity allows for rapid vascularization and subsequent resorption.

is driven by
simplicity. A cornerstone of its simplicity
is SHORT® Implants. When the Bicon
system was frst introduced in 1985, its
8.0mm length implants were considered
quite short—most other implants were at
least 12–14mm and sometimes 18–20mm
long! Since then, the natural progression
of Bicon’s design philosophy has resulted
in 5.0mm, 5.7mm, and 6.0mm SHORT®
Implants, all with proven clinical success.
