Use Implant Flexibility to Simplify Your Workflow
Take advantage of the ability to switch between different Thommen Medical implant lines within and across cases. This flexibility is made possible by a shared surgical cassette and a common implant-abutment connection. It streamlines treatment planning and supports a more efficient, consistent surgical workflow.


Contour the Bone Around the Implant Collar
Proper bone contouring around the implant collar – especially in immediate load cases – is essential to ensure a passive fit of the prosthetic components and to support long-term stability and esthetics.
Diagnosis, Planning, and Precision – The Foundation of Success
Start with a solid diagnosis and a well-structured treatment plan. When combined with Thommen Medical’s fully guided digital workflow, this foundation allows for highly precise implant placement and contributes to predictable, high-quality restorations.


Shape the Bone for Functional Prosthetic Restorations
Avoid placing the implant too supracrestally, as this can compromise both esthetics and function. Use the bone contouring instrument to refine the crestal bone and support a passive fit of the prosthetic components, ensuring long-term stability.
Start Simple and Plan with Experienced Support
Plan your first cases together with someone experienced in the Thommen Medical system. Its straightforward osteotomy workflow allows you to focus on other critical surgical aspects during implant placement.


Master the Fundamentals Before Going Guided
Take a step-by-step approach: first learn the basics of conventional surgery – raising a flap, suturing, and placing implants freehand. Only then move on to guided techniques. Don’t follow trends blindly – rely on solid training, clinical experience, and scientific evidence.
Build Surgical Skills Through Experience and Mentorship
Focus on improving your surgical training – assist whenever possible and gain as much hands-on experience as you can. Join a mentoring group, such as the Alliance for Implant Dentistry (AID) in Switzerland, to accelerate your learning through guided support and shared knowledge.
