When it comes to small diameter implants (SDIs), correct case selection opens the door, but the right protocol turns that opportunity into consistent, reliable outcomes. At IMTEC, decades of clinician feedback and real-world use have refined our surgical approach. The result is a clear and efficient protocol, supported by instrumentation built for precision and seamless execution.
A Simplified Protocol That Delivers
Designed for today’s practice, the IMTEC MDI surgical protocol is minimally invasive and includes many cases done flaplessly. This one-step approach streamlines treatment and reduces patient recovery time. For clinicians, the result is simple: fewer appointments, less complexity, and a process that fits within a busy day, without cutting corners or compromising results.

Instruments That Keep You On Track
Every instrument in the IMTEC system has a job. From surgical stents that guide proper angulation to pilot drills sized for bone density, each tool supports a smooth workflow. Manual instruments allow you to feel torque feedback. Color-coding removes second-guessing. This isn’t tech for the sake of tech; it’s practical design that helps you focus on what matters, placing implants with confidence.
Manual Precision That Builds Confidence
One of the biggest advantages of the IMTEC MDI system is the manual control you maintain during placement. You’re not simply pushing a button, you’re feeling the torque and seating the implant based on real-time feedback. That manual precision matters most in tighter spaces, like narrow ridges or dense cortical bone, where tiny adjustments improve outcomes and give your patients the predictability they deserve.
Simplicity That Works
Simplicity isn’t basic. It’s having fewer steps, fewer surprises, and a system that fits your daily flow. Our protocol removes unnecessary complexity so you can place implants confidently and restore smiles without stress. Clarity and efficiency matter in everyday practice or with patients who have medical concerns or time constraints. IMTEC was built to fit your pace, not the other way around.
Industry Snapshot
The global dental implants market reached $5.99 billion in 2025, projected to hit nearly $13.9 billion by 2034 at a 9.8 % CAGR
North America alone accounted for nearly $2.1 billion in 2024, expected to continue growing at around 9.8 % annually,
With the U.S. implant market expanding by hundreds of thousands of procedures each year, clinicians increasingly need efficient and flexible systems, making SDIs a strategic solution.

What Comes Next
In Part 3 we’ll examine the restorative side of the IMTEC MDI system, from same-day prosthetic options to its compatibility with other implant platforms. This is where surgical simplicity meets practical, efficiency-driven care.
