A-Type Implant

Compressive Design for Narrow Ridges, Minimal Drilling & Primary Stability

The Surcam A-Type Implant is a compressive-style dental implant engineered for narrow ridges and atraumatic site preparation. Its geometry minimizes extensive drilling and gently compacts cancellous bone, helping reduce micro-fractures while improving primary stability. A slim profile aids safe placement away from the alveolar canal nerve in challenging mandibular and maxillary cases.

A tissue-friendly neck is designed to limit biofilm adherence and support soft-tissue health, while the SLA surface (dry alumina blasting + double acid etching) with no aluminum contaminants promotes clean, predictable osseointegration. Suitable for single- and multiple-unit restorations, the A-Type accelerates workflows without sacrificing clinical precision.

Benefits

• Conservative Osteotomy – Compressive design reduces drilling, compacts bone, and supports immediate stability.

• Narrow Ridge Indication – Slim profile enables secure placement in thin crests while avoiding the alveolar canal nerve.

• Soft-Tissue Support – Specialized neck designed to limit biofilm accumulation and help reduce peri-implantitis risk.

• Clean SLA Surface – No aluminum contaminants; optimized for faster, reliable osseointegration.

• Versatile Restorations – Suitable for single crowns, short-span bridges, and full-arch planning (case dependent).

Surcam A-Type Implant FAQs

When is the A-Type preferred over conventional cylindrical implants?

When ridge width is limited or when a compressive, conservative osteotomy is desired to improve primary stability and reduce drilling intensity.

Does the collar help reduce peri-implantitis risk?

The A-Type’s tissue-friendly neck is designed to limit biofilm adherence, supporting soft-tissue health alongside proper hygiene and maintenance.

What’s unique about the SLA surface here?

It is dry alumina blasted and double acid etched with no aluminum contaminants, promoting a clean surface for predictable osseointegration.

Is it suitable for immediate loading?

Case dependent. The compressive geometry and conical threads can deliver high primary stability that may support immediate protocols when torque and clinical factors are appropriate.
