Redefining retention

Instead of cement or screws, the conometric concept uses friction retention to secure the crown and cap onto the abutment. Here is why we think this is a game–changer:

  • Placement of the crown takes seconds rather than minutes.
  • The procedure is easier to perform.
  • No screw—improved esthetics, due to no visible screw access holes.
  • No cement—less risk of biological complications.
  • This is a fixed retention, but it can be retrieved for extra-oral cleaning or maintenance.
  • To place the final crown, you only need to click once on the crown with our unique Fixation tool.

Too good to be true? No, it is better.

With this concept, the final crown is cemented onto the final cap extra-orally and then attached to the abutment to provide a conometric retention.

Indexed seating

The final cap is indexed to match the corresponding index on the top of the abutment. This allows for correct seating and orientation of the crown.

Retention stability

We have thoroughly tested retention of the conometric connection over time under cyclic loading. The results are clear. All tested samples maintain their stability.

Designed for excellent results

All abutments, caps and the final crown are designed to make the conometric concept easy and efficient, with guaranteed excellent long-term end-results.

Scientific support

Studies suggest that excess cement causes peri-implantitis. That risk is diminished with this concept as there is no intra-oral cementation and thus no cement residue.
