The IMZ Implant System

T he IMZ Implant System was developed in Germany by Dr. Axel Kirsch in the early 1970’s.
It is the only major implant system using a shock absorbing intermobile element designed
to simulate the periodontal ligament.

■ IMZ Original 3.3 & 4.0 non-hex flat-top

IMZ - Original ■ IMZ Original

The original IMZ implant was manufactured in two diameters – 3.3mm and 4.0mm. The
internal thread of the 3.3mm implant is 2.4mm and the 4.0mm implant has a 3.0mm thread.
The external implant body is either titanium plasma sprayed or HA coated with hydroxalap-
petite. The IMZ implant body is no longer sold, however, IMZ restorative components, such
as the complete abutment, UMA, etc., can still be purchased from Attachments
International.

Indications and Quantities of Implants recommended:

❊ Single Tooth Replacement
One implant is required. Use the IMZ Hex Head for this type restora-
tion. Not recommended with the original IMZ 3.3 or 4.0.

❊ Bridge Reconstructions
Recommended for 1 implant attached to an abutment, or for 2 or more
free standing implants using a tissue extension.

❊ Fixed / Detachable Reconstructions

Recommended for 5 or more implants on a fully edentulous arch.

❊ Bar Type Overdentures

Recommended for 2 or more implants using a UMA, complete abut-
ment or IME tissue extension, or for an implant attached to a natural
abutment.

❊ Stud Type Overdentures

Requires at least 1 implant. Whenever possible more implants should
be used.

 Terminology of Components

Restorative Components:
The restorative components are the elements used to fabricate a restoration that
will be connected to the implant(s). The restoration may also be attached to an
intermediate component called a tissue extension (UMA or IME) or abutment
which in turn is connected to the implant(s).

Implant Body:
The implant body is placed into the bone for approximately 4-6 months to allow for
osseointegration. The implants should not be loaded prior to osseointegration.

IMZ - Original

Tissue Extension:
The TE (Tissue Extension) also referred to as the Complete Abutment, is the inter-
mediate connector between the implant and the restoration, it may extend above
the tissue. In some instances, a TE extension is subgingival, to provide a more
esthetic restoration.

IMZ
Complete Abutment

Implant Standardization:
The UMA tissue extension was developed to standardize the many different
implant companies' components and instruments for a more economically con-
trolled inventory and for simplicity of restorative procedures. Its tapered/hexagon
fitting surface is identical, regardless of the size or type of implant employed,
while its screw-in base is implant specific.
