The SKY implant system provides a solution for all clinical indications.

Features of the SKY implant system:

• A range of prosthetic solutions based on a single connection makes the SKY system versatile yet simple.
• Option to have a transversal screw connection for the aesthetic zone
• All the abutments suitable for the narrow platform can also be used on the regular platform, creating a larger platform switch.

• All SKY implants feature the osseo connect surface (ocs)

• All SKY implants are made out of Titanium type IV coldworked. The sandblasted and etched surface reflects state of the art technology and ensures long-term success of the modern implant systems.

• All SKY implants have an indexed connection and a defined vertical height to enable easy establishment of the passive fit, even for large constructions.

Restore standard cases quickly and reliably with a few pre-assembled parts and resolve challenging cases just as easily with individual solutions - that is the essence of the SKY implant system. blueSKY, SKY classic and narrowSKY implants form the basis for this prosthetic concept. These prosthetic solutions are offered with two platforms – narrow and regular – whereby it is important that all the abutments suitable for the narrow platform can also be used on the regular platform by means of platform switching. 

All SKY implants have a long tube-in-tube connection with Torx, which allows a durable and reliable connection from the implant to the abutment. This connection avoids screw loosening and breakage, as it ensures optimal even load distribution of the masticatory forces between the screw and the abutment. With low residual rotation as a result of improved precision with the same manufacturing tolerances, a lifelong connection is guaranteed, in contrast with an internal hexagon and surface connection. The defined vertical height enables easy establishment of the passive fit, even for large constructions. 

With its modern design, blueSKY is ideally suited for bone-level positioning and use in augmented bone and creates optimal conditions that stabilize the bone height after implantation at a high level. Thanks to their excellent primary stability, the blueSKY implants form the ideal basis for a simple and safe immediate restoration with the SKY fast & fixed therapy concept: extraction - implantation - provisional restoration in one day. blueSKY is available in the standard diameters 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm in lengths between 8 and 16 mm.

The neck area of the SKY classic implant is designed relatively long with a refined area of 1.5 mm and an etched surface of only of 0.5 mm - offering perfect conditions for the attachment of connective tissue and epithelium. For this reason, the SKY classic implant is only placed supracrestal. This particularly favours transgingival insertion of the SKY classic implants, whereby the soft tissue is not opened up to form a flap. The SKY classic can also be used as a short 6 mm implant, whereby it is only inserted into the bone up to the end of the blasted and etched surface. 

narrowSKY is the implant for narrow gaps in single tooth restoration or for the severely atrophied jaw or where augmentation should be avoided. The surface is designed like blueSKY, so it is also inserted iso-crestal. The red-gold cover screw makes identification in the mouth easier and all abutments of the SKY implant system with the same colour are indicated for restoration of the narrowSKY implants.

Surgical tray
The SKY implant system surgical tray can be used for inserting both the SKY classic, blueSKY and diameter-reduced narrowSKY titanium implants, as well as the non-metal zirconium implant white SKY. This simplifies workflows in the practice and enhances process reliability. Treatment costs and times are reduced considerably. In addition, it is therefore possible to switch from one implant to another intraoperatively.

Features of the new SKY surgical tray:

• Few instruments – simple and cost-effective
• Contains all the restorative tools so there is no need for any additional trays
• One surgical/restorative kit simplifies workflows in the practice and enhances process reliability – treatment costs and times are reduced considerably as it is possible  to switch from one implant to another intraoperatively
• Only 18cm x 13cm (a lot smaller than the previous SKY surgical tray which measured 29cm x 18cm)
• The silicone holders of the instruments are moulded into the tray insert for cleaning
• The tray is validated for machine cleaning in a thermal disinfector
• The tray insert is used as a holder for the instruments and drills during machine cleaning. Only the ratchet and the drill stops must be washed separately in a small parts basket.
