Implants
Dental implants replace a missing tooth root, and each one needs matching components to become a crown. A scan body records the implant position digitally. A digital analog reproduces it on a printed model. A Ti-base bonds a ceramic crown for screw-retained delivery. Every part is specific to the implant platform it fits.

Dental Implants and Implant Components — Fixtures, Scan Bodies, Ti-Bases and Analogs
A dental implant is a titanium root placed in the jaw. Once it heals, it has to become a tooth — and that takes a second set of parts.
This category covers both halves of implant dentistry:
- Dental implants — the fixture that goes into the bone.
- Implant components — the scan bodies, analogs, Ti-bases and copings that turn a healed fixture into a crown.
The GS Implants Combi 3.7 mm is the fixture stocked here. Further options are available from Apex Konnect.
Which implant component do you need?
- Digital scan — a scan body, then a digital analog.
- Conventional impression — a transfer coping.
- Screw-retained ceramic crown — a Ti-base.
- Custom abutment — a premill blank.
Whichever you pick, it must match your implant platform exactly.
Restoring a dental implant digitally: scan body, then analog
Scan body
A scanner cannot see a bare platform. So a scan body screws in and gives it something to read.
Its shape is a known geometry. Capture it, and the software knows exactly where the fixture sits and how it is angled. No impression material. No stone model.
The Osstem Regular-compatible scan body fits the most common implant platform in Indian practice.
Digital analog
The analog is the scan body's opposite number, in the lab.
The model is 3D-printed. The analog anchors into it and stands in for the real fixture, so the crown is built on a model that matches the patient exactly.
The Nobel Biocare RP-compatible digital analog is the Nobel-platform version.
Ti-bases and transfer copings
Ti-base — for screw-retained implant crowns
A Ti-base is a small titanium connector. Zirconia or lithium disilicate bonds onto it, and the assembly screws into the fixture.
You get both things you want:
- Titanium where it meets the bone-level connection — precise fit.
- Ceramic where it meets the eye — aesthetics.
- No cement left subgingivally, because it is screw-retained. That is where a lot of peri-implantitis begins.
Bond the ceramic to the Osstem-compatible Ti-base with a silane primer and dual-cure resin cement. Osstem Mini, Nobel NP and Straumann BLT RC sizes are stocked too.
Transfer coping — for conventional impressions
Not every practice has gone digital, and impressions still work.
A transfer coping screws in and is picked up in the impression, carrying the position to the lab the old way. Single-use plastic — sterile, accurate, cheaper than reusable metal.
- Open tray — splinted, multi-unit cases.
- Closed tray — single units.
Implant platform compatibility — the one rule
Osstem Regular ≠ Osstem Mini ≠ Nobel RP ≠ Nobel NP ≠ Straumann BLT.
A mismatched part does not fit badly. It does not fit at all. Force it and you damage the connection, which cannot be repaired.
Check the platform on the fixture before you order, and confirm against the manufacturer's IFU before use.
Why buy dental implants and components from Dentalkart
A part that will not seat gets discovered at the worst moment — crown in hand, patient in the chair.
So everything here states the system and platform it fits, and ships sealed with its compatibility documentation.
The rest of the case is close by: the healing abutments that shape the tissue after placement, and the temporary and PEEK abutments for the provisional stage in between.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it fuses with the bone, implant components — a scan body or transfer coping, a digital analog and a Ti-base or abutment — are used to build and attach the final crown to it.
What components does a dental implant need?
After the implant has healed, its position must be captured and a crown built on it. That takes a scan body for digital scanning or a transfer coping for a conventional impression, a digital analog for the working model, and a Ti-base or abutment to carry the crown. Every component must match the implant platform.
What is an implant scan body?
A scan body is a small component that screws into a healed dental implant to give an intraoral scanner a shape it can read. A bare implant platform is invisible to a scanner. The scan body's known geometry lets the software work out the implant's exact position, angulation and orientation, replacing the conventional impression.
Are implant components compatible with every implant brand?
No. Implant components are platform-specific. Osstem Regular, Osstem Mini, Nobel Biocare RP, Nobel NP and Straumann BLT are all different connections. A mismatched component will not seat on the dental implant, and forcing it damages the implant connection permanently. Always match the component to the fixture's brand and platform.
What is the difference between a Ti-base and a stock abutment?
A Ti-base is a titanium connector that a CAD/CAM zirconia or lithium disilicate crown is bonded onto, and the assembly is then screwed into the dental implant. A stock abutment is pre-made, screwed into the implant, and a separate crown is cemented over it. The Ti-base gives a screw-retained crown with no subgingival cement.
