An Entirely New Spin on Implantology
Optimize surgical results and increase patient satisfaction with one of the most flexible implant systems in the industry. Kontact implants are feature-rich and offer a complete range of prosthetics options, all with a single connection. There isn’t anything you can’t do with Kontact Implants.
The Kontact Implant sytem delivers a unique set of features that work in concert to produce an optimal environment conducive to new bone formation and long-term bone preservation.
- Creates a seal at the implant-abutment junction that inhibits the implant's internal cavity from serving as a bacterial well
- The deep connection distributes masticatory forces over the length of the implant and prevents excessive forces at the crest
- Completely stable connection that eliminates micromovement between components which is important to initial integration and long-term bone preservation
- Chamfered geometry helps minimize stress on the cortical bone
- The surface treatment is taken all the way to the implant-abutment junction and provides an opportunity for bone to proliferate on the platform itself. This phenomenon is routinely observed on subcrestal placement of the implant
- The lateralized junction creates a "platform switch" known to contribute favorably to crestal bone preservation and soft tissue health
- The concave emergence profile more closely mimics natural tooth emergence and helps maintain an adequate zone of keratinized soft tissue
Kontact's tapered geometry and progressive thread design that extends to the top of the implant maximizes primary stability
A secondary thread increases surface area for enhanced bone-to-implant contact and improved load distribution
A continuous cutting edge along the length of the Kontact implant moderates insertional torque even in denser bone types
Spherical apex protects anatomical structures during surgical placement
Kontact is manufactured from Grade V titanium alloy and has a sand blasted surface
Alternative Kontact S+ design is well suited for soft bone or immediate placement indications given its wider threads and consistent thread depth
Kontact S+ is manufactured from Grade IV commercially pure titanium with a sand-blasted and acid-etched surface

What is the Kontact implant system?
The Kontact™ is a tapered, subcrestally placed dental implant system engineered for long-term crestal bone preservation. Developed by Biotech Dental — a French company founded in 1988 — and distributed in the United States by Biotech Dental USA. Kontact is built around design features that work together to minimize bone stress and maximize implant stability.
- 5° Morse Taper Connection with Star-Shaped Indexing — creates a hermetic seal, eliminates micromovement between implant and abutment, and distributes masticatory forces deep within the implant body rather than concentrating them at the crestal bone.
- Chamfered Platform with Microporous Surface Treatment — the beveled shoulder distributes occlusal load evenly across cortical bone, and the surface treatment extends all the way to the implant-abutment junction, enabling bone to proliferate on the platform itself — particularly observed in subcrestal placement.
- Offset Implant-Abutment Junction (Platform Switching) — the lateralized junction moves the biologic width attachment away from the crestal bone, contributing favorably to crestal bone preservation.
- Concave Abutment Emergence Profile — works with the platform switch to maintain a healthy zone of keratinized tissue and more closely mimics natural tooth emergence anatomy, supporting both bone stability and soft tissue health.
- Kontact’s proprietary Deep Conical Connection with 5° Degree Morse Taper creates a hermetic seal that prevents bacteria from entering the site. It also eliminates micromovement between components while distributing occlusal forces deep within the implant body for minimized crestal bone stress. This results in better preservation of crestal bone and improved long-term stability.
- The Cylindrical Shape and Chamfered Shoulder transfer occlusal forces deep into the bone rather than concentrating them at the crest. This reduces stress at the cortical crest, and promotes long-term crestal bone stability, soft tissue health, and helps prevent bone resorption.
The Progressive Thread Design ensures stability in all bone types while the design of the secondary thread increases bone-to-implant contact, enhancing load distribution. In softer bone the deeper apical threads increase engagement, giving better mechanical anchorage. Kontact’s finer coronal threads reduce excessive compression on the cortical crest, lowering crestal bone stress and preventing resorption.
The Kontact System features a single universal Surgical Kit with a Key-less Guided Surgery Kit for the placement of all Kontact Implants, color-coded Drill Stop Kit, Prosthetic Kit, Healing Abutment Kit, and Pilot Drill Kit to provide all tools at your fingertips. This intuitive system unifies all tools to simiplify selections and shorten learning curves, saving both time and cost.
All Kontact Prosthetics share a Single Prosthetic Platform across all diameters. This intuitive design reduces complexity at every step - minimizing inventory, eliminating mismatched components, and streamlining chair time and workflows.
Kontact integrates effortlessly into any digital workflow, including case planning, surgical guide fabrication, restorative libraries, and prosthesis design. This creates a clear, predictable digital pathway—ensuring esthetic precision, functional longevity, and confidence in every outcome.
- The unique set of features combines proven design elements with precision engineering to produce an optimal environment that is conducive to new bone formation and long-term bone preservation.
- The Lateralized Implant-Abutment Junction (platform switch) and Concave Emergence Profile contribute to crestal bone preservation and maintaining a healthy zone of keratinized tissue.
- The implant’s Micro-Structured Surface Treatment on the chamfered shoulder and platform provide optimum bone formation over the top of the implant, which results in long-term stability.
Clinical studies, peer-reviewed publications, and clinician testimonials have indicated consistently predictable osseointegration, long-term crestal bone preservation, enduring implant stability, and optimal surgical and aesthetic outcomes.
Without question, Kontact is helping more and more dentists create a world of smiles.
One implant family performs well across a range of bone densities without the need for separate implant systems for soft or hard bone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the chamfered platform, and why does it matter?
The chamfered (beveled) shoulder distributes occlusal load more evenly across the cortical bone, reducing peak stress at the crest. Critically, Kontact's microporous surface treatment extends all the way to the implant-abutment junction — which means bone can proliferate on the platform itself when the implant is placed sub-crestally. This is routinely observed clinically and contributes to above-the-implant bone formation rather than bone loss over time.
How does the Kontact Morse taper connection protect crestal bone?
The Kontact deep 5° Morse taper creates a friction-locked, hermetic seal at the implant-abutment junction. This seal prevents bacteria from colonizing the implant's internal cavity — a primary driver of peri-implant inflammation. The connection also eliminates micromovement between the implant and abutment under occlusal loading, which is critical for osseointegration and long-term bone stability. Unlike hex connections, the Morse taper distributes masticatory forces along the length of the implant body rather than concentrating them at the crestal bone.
How does platform switching work in Kontact?
Kontact's offset implant-abutment junction lateralizes the biologic width attachment away from the crestal bone — a design principle known as platform switching. Combined with a concave abutment emergence profile, this creates more space for the soft tissue cuff and preserves a healthy zone of keratinized tissue. The concave profile more closely mimics natural tooth emergence anatomy, supporting both crestal bone stability and esthetic soft tissue outcomes.
What makes Kontact's thread design different?
Kontact uses a progressive thread design — wider, deeper apical threads for primary stability in softer bone, finer coronal threads to reduce crestal compression. A secondary thread increases bone-to-implant contact surface area for improved load distribution. A continuous cutting edge runs the length of the implant to moderate insertion torque in denser bone types, and a spherical apex protects anatomical structures during placement.
