Morse-Fit: benefits of dental implant connection
What is a Morse-Fit (cone morse) dental implant?
Today there are various types of dental implants, including the morse-fit implant connection. But what does this mean? To understand what a morse-fit dental implant is, you first need to understand what an implant connection is. That way, we’ll show you why the morse-fit implant is the most modern implant available today. Dental implants from the Swiss brand Straumann have a morse-fit platform. Neodent also offers implants of this design.
A dental implant is a device that is surgically placed in the bone and has a function very similar to that of a tooth root. Just above the implant, the dentist places a dental crown or fixed prosthesis to fulfill the function of the teeth. In addition to the type of implant connection, there are also differences in the composition of the implants. There are therefore implants made of titanium and ceramic implants, white implants made of zirconia.
To make the union between implant and tooth, there needs to be an interface and this piece is called an abutment. The way the abutment is placed on the implant is known as the implant connection or prosthetic connection.

There are different implant connection models, the main ones being external hexagon, internal hexagon and the advanced morse-fit system. Here, at the Implart dental clinic, we will present all the implant options suitable for your case during your initial assessment with our implant dentist.
Morse fit is a prosthetic connection system in which the implant has a conical central core. There is evidence that this format has several benefits over others. We’ll get to know them shortly.
Benefits of morse-fit implants over other types of connection
The morse-fit technique has a number of advantages and favors the dentist’s work for a more efficient and comfortable rehabilitation. See other advantages:
- The conical shape preserves the bone crest, reducing the chances of bone loss, as this model is placed at bone level (below the bone).
- Promotes bone stability which helps preserve peri-implant tissue.
- The intermediaries used in morse-fit implants allow bone and gum to fill the space between the prosthesis and the implant, creating an ideal seal and preserving the bone.
- The designed conical seal prevents bacteria from migrating to the implant. The design prevents bacterial colonization on the implant (peri-implantitis).
- Studies have shown that the conical shape of the morse-fit implant connection is the best option for using the immediate loading technique due to the greater mechanical stability and performance of the abutment, and the favoring of osseointegration (the process of integration between implant and bone).
- What’s more, these implants allow for faster healing and therefore a shorter implant treatment period
The morse-fit implant is the best option for the surgical and prosthetic phases, and performs best over time. Here are some more advantages:
- The model makes it possible to plan computer-guided implant surgeries.
- Excellent frictional retention as well as reduced gaps between the abutment and the inside of the implant prevent displacement. The space reduction increases the contact area of the interface, offering greater resistance than other internal connections.
- The model favors the distribution of physiological forces around the peri-implant tissues
- It favors the aesthetic result of the treatment, as the dividing line between abutment and implant is easier and more discreet. In addition, the gums regenerate better with morse-fit implants.
- Its angulation makes it easier to remove the implant, should this be necessary, while preserving bone and gum tissue.
The main brands of morse-fit dental implants, national or imported, SIN Implant System, Neodent, and the Swiss Straumann, are available at Clinica dentaria ImplArt. Also, for those who live far away, we can make a preliminary online consultation and plan your dental implant surgery remotely.
If you have any questions about morse-fit implants, crowns and dentures, it’s best to consult an implant dentist. So get in touch with us or book an appointment with the specialized team at the ImplArt Dental Clinic.
