In a clinical feedback report based on more than 1,000 implants placed, Dr. Jacques Cheylus presents the evolution of the iPhysio® system and the benefits it brings to practitioners, dental laboratories, and patients.

The evolution of iPhysio®: from healing cap to a 3-in-1 device

The first version of iPhysio®, introduced in 2015, was a polymer healing cap clipped onto a titanium base. Although innovative, this solution presented certain mechanical limitations, particularly a risk of disassembly during the osseointegration phase, which could lead to patient discomfort and inaccuracies during intraoral scanning.

Following clinical feedback and discussions with the R&D teams, a new generation of iPhysio® was developed. The current device is designed as a screw-retained one-piece healing abutment, made of titanium with a zirconium nitride coating, offering:

• improved radiopacity
• several anatomical shapes adapted to different dental areas
• compatibility with intraoral scanners
• a digital library available for major CAD/CAM software

This evolution has transformed iPhysio® into a true 3-in-1 tool, combining three functions: healing, impression, and support for provisional restoration.

Optimization of emergence profile and soft tissues

One of the main advantages of iPhysio® lies in its ability to reproduce an anatomical emergence profile close to that of a natural tooth. The different shapes of the device allow precise adaptation of soft tissue healing around the implant.

Thanks to its design and biocompatible coating, peri-implant tissues generally show:

• healthy vascularization
• optimal papilla support
• long-term gingival stability

These characteristics promote optimal aesthetic and functional integration of implant restorations.

A simpler and faster digital impression

iPhysio® also plays a major role in simplifying the digital workflow. The device can be directly scanned with an intraoral scanner, without requiring placement and removal of a specific scanbody.

This approach offers several advantages:

• impression time reduced by two to three times
• elimination of conventional impressions with impression materials
• improved patient comfort
• greater accuracy in implant positioning within the digital workflow

The associated digital library is compatible with the main CAD/CAM systems, facilitating communication with dental laboratories.

Implant temporization and management of provisional restorations

iPhysio® also makes it easy to produce provisional restorations directly on the abutment, particularly thanks to a clip-on provisional abutment system with a short screw.

This protocol allows practitioners to:

• maintain the emergence profile obtained during healing
• precisely reproduce this profile in the final crown
• improve soft tissue stability

Long-term clinically confirmed results

After several years of use and extended clinical follow-up, observations show that implants healed with iPhysio® provide:

• bone stability comparable to delayed implants
• better preservation of soft tissues
• improved gingival aesthetic scores

These results confirm the relevance of the device in immediate implantation protocols, both in anterior regions and in molar areas.

A tool at the heart of digital dentistry

Beyond its clinical performance, iPhysio® fully fits into the evolution toward integrated digital implantology. By combining tissue management, digital impressions, and temporization, it simplifies procedures while improving accuracy and patient experience.

After ten years of clinical use, this device appears as an effective link between implantology, aesthetic dentistry, and digital technologies, offering a reliable and accessible solution for practitioners wishing to optimize their implant protocols.

Clinical studies on dental implants

• Reduced laboratory time: the All-in-Bar technique enables the fabrication of an implant-supported bridge in just 6 hours after implant placement, compared to 48–72h previously.
• Digital workflow and optical impression: the iPhysio® system optimizes healing, impression taking, and aesthetic integration.
• Mini-implants: a reliable and cost-effective solution to stabilize complete dentures in elderly patients.
• Naturactis implants: high primary stability and a 100% success rate at 12 months.

Innovations and scientific research

• Osseointegration and surface treatments: LYRA ETK implants demonstrate excellent bone and biological stability.
• Guided surgery: improved precision and reduced surgical time.
• Multicenter studies: robust scientific validation across hundreds of patients.

Conclusion

Recent research confirms that LYRA ETK solutions provide high clinical safety, an enhanced patient experience, and significant time savings in surgery.

To carry out this study, a randomized clinical trial (RCT) was carried out, with a sample of 62 implants placed in 27 patients who underwent radiological checks on the day of insertion, at one month and at 4 months, and stability was measured by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) on three occasions.

Analysis shows that although decontamination with NaCl removes all traces of bacteria, deposits remain in the interstices.

A more in-depth study of the composition of these elements will be required before determining whether the reuse of NaCl-decontaminated healing abutments can be envisaged.

This study analyses the behaviour of peri-implant soft tissues when they are no longer supported, as will be the case during impression taking when the healing abutment is unscrewed.

The conclusion is that the emergence profile collapses significantly when the tissues are no longer supported for 30 seconds or more.
