This new prosthetic platform is suitable across 3 implant ranges—1 impression coping, 1 implant replica, and 1 abutment interface. It was designed to make things more efficient and cost-effective for clinicians and to eliminate the need for separate 1- or 2-stage designs.

This type of treatment solution can offer long-term results while reducing inventory clutter.

How this prosthetic platform is different

Because of its 3-in-1 capabilities, NeossONE is able to be a cost saver for clinicians in its inventory savings, and there is no need for separate designs.

These benefits may not be offered by traditional implant systems while still saving the clinician money and space in the long term.
