i-LiNQ implant with its family of abutments
i-LiNQ® · patented

i-LiNQ: One Time. One Abutment. Total Confidence.

The i-LiNQ® component sits between implant and abutment. It is placed at uncovering and never taken out again, so every prosthetic step happens above the bone.

Concept

Why i-LiNQ®

By reducing the diameter of the i-LiNQ® component to a technical minimum at the crestal bone exit, the surrounding bone layer — and its blood supply — is preserved.

  1. 01

    One time, one abutment

    Inserted into the implant at the time of uncovering and never removed again. The soft-tissue emergence profile is shaped on top of it with a healing abutment.

  2. 02

    Prosthetics above the bone

    All prosthetic steps take place at gingival level — one storey above the bone — instead of re-entering bone level at every impression and try-in.

  3. 03

    No intraoral cement

    Crowns are cemented extraorally on i-cement abutments or screw-retained on i-connect; bridges can also be seated by friction alone with i-conometric.

  4. 04

    1.5° locking taper

    Retention and force transfer rely on cold welding of the conical connection; indexed and non-indexed positioning.

  5. 05

    Narrow hybrid design

    Wide where the bone is wide and narrow at the exit from the crest; the rough implant body is placed below crest level.

  6. 06

    Modular family

    One component, four prosthetic routes: cemented, screw-retained, conometric and removable — plus digital components.

Implant

i-LiNQ® Implant

A two-piece implant with a change from internal to external connection, built on 1.5° morse-taper technology. The thread cuts into the osteotomy walls only with its outer tips, leaving open healing chambers between the threads for vascularised bone formation.

  • Diameters 2.7 – 6.0 mm, lengths 8.0 – 14.0 mm
  • Sloping shoulder in line with the transversal bone profile
  • Progressive, stress-reducing thread; immediate loading possible in suitable cases
  • Delayed or immediate loading protocol depending on bone quality

Prosthetics

Four prosthetic routes on one component

Impressions are preferably taken at i-LiNQ® level with 1-piece or 3-piece impression posts, so the technician can adapt the abutment to the individual case.

  • i-cement abutment Ø6.5 R on the i-LiNQ implant

    i-cement — cemented

    For single crowns and bridgework. Single crowns are cemented extraorally to avoid cement excess in the sulcus; intraoral cementation remains possible when bridgework requires it.

  • i-connect abutment, short, on the i-LiNQ implant

    i-connect — screw-retained

    For splinted crowns, bridges and bars. Compatible with the well-known multi-unit geometry, so common CAD/CAM framework workflows apply. A two-step impression technique is recommended.

  • i-conometric abutment on the i-LiNQ implant

    i-conometric — friction-retained

    Cement-free seating of bridges: a 5° conical cap compensates axial divergences between implants and is cold-welded at 15 Ncm.

  • i-ball abutment on the i-LiNQ implant

    i-ball and i-locator — removable

    Retention of removable dentures. The retentive element is seated at 15 Ncm; the housing is polymerised into the denture base directly or indirectly.

On i-System

i-LiNQ® components on the i-System implant

The same prosthetic components seated on the i-System implant, which shares the 1.5° locking conical connection.

  • i-cement abutment Ø6.5 R on the i-System implant

  • i-connect abutment on the i-System implant

  • i-conometric abutment on the i-System implant

  • i-ball abutment on the i-System implant

  • i-healing abutment, short, on the i-System implant

  • i-locator abutment on the i-System implant

Surgical

Surgical protocol and kit

Low-speed drilling: at 50 rpm without irrigation the drills harvest bone chips that are placed back into the gap between implant and osteotomy.

  • i-LiNQ guided surgery kit

    Guided surgery kit

    Kit for template-guided preparation of the i-LiNQ® osteotomy.

  • i-LiNQ final drills Ø2.5 to Ø5.2 mm

    Drill sequence

    Final drills from Ø2.5 to Ø5.2 mm, chosen to match the implant diameter and bone quality; position, depth and axis are checked before insertion.

  • Torque ratchet

    Torque ratchet

    Torque-controlled ratchet and 1.2 mm hex driver for seating i-LiNQ® components at 15 Ncm.

    Product details →
  • 1.2 mm hex driver, long

    Insertion

    Insertion torque up to 50 Ncm at 30 rpm or less; bone chips are placed into the circular gap before wound closure.
