The Bicon Short Implant

What is it about?

Thomas Driskell's Bicon dental implant design has proven to be effective due to the prosthetic restorations performed on this model over a period of more than 30 years. Additionally, the success of this design has been recognized by various dental implant manufacturers in Asia and Europe who have “assimilated” the design.Dr. Vincent J. Morgan has compiled a presentation of the Bicon system for a period of over 30 years which he called The Bicon Short Implant. In this book, the editor as well as 47 of the most experienced contributors describe their experince in using Bicon implants. The book is divided into 20 chapters with an index.After a brief presentation of the history of dental implants we are presented with the Bicon system and the characteristics of implant-abutment prosthetic systems. Updating The data on the biological response to den-tal implants are updated so as to support the understanding of the engineering aspects of Bicon implants and the influence of the implant-abutment interface on peri-implant health. In order to assess the performance of short implants, the five-year clinical experience of a novice Bicon clini-cian is analyzed (different locations of mandibular or molar application), compared with radiographic studies for 15 years and longer, concluding that short implants can solve many clinical situations, remaining a reliable and predictable solution over time.
