What is the dual conical connection with internal hexagon?

It is the IGEA system connection combining a 12-degree Morse taper (hermetic friction seal) with an internal hexagon (anti-rotational stability at 6 positions). It unites the advantages of both geometries in a single design.

How does it prevent prosthetic screw loosening?

The IGEA connection prevents loosening through three mechanisms: the self-locking effect of the 12-degree taper, the M2 prosthetic screw, and the internal hexagon that prevents rotational micro-movements.

What is the difference between conical and internal hex connections?

Conical connection offers hermetic seal and anti-loosening but no positional reference. Internal hexagon offers precise positioning and rotational stability. The IGEA system combines both for the best of both worlds.

What is the IGEA conical connection with internal hexagon?

It is a dual-design implant connection by Mesa Italia: a 12° internal taper that delivers an effective hermetic seal and resistance to loosening, combined with an internal hexagon for repeatable prosthetic indexing across all platforms.

Why is the 12° taper considered the best of both worlds?

A steeper taper increases friction-fit and seal but reduces angular tolerance; a shallower one increases tolerance but reduces seal. 12° is the geometric sweet spot validated by Mesa to maintain a hermetic seal while preserving prosthetic flexibility.

Does the IGEA system support platform switching?

Yes. IGEA uses an integrated platform-switching architecture: the prosthetic platform is offset inwards relative to the implant body to support peri-implant bone preservation, while remaining compatible across diameters.

Where is the IGEA implant manufactured?

IGEA implants are manufactured 100% in Italy by Mesa Italia in Travagliato (BS), with full traceability and ISO 13485 / MDR CE certification.

Dental Implants Compatible Components ENG

Compatible components Multi-Unit System A modern multiprosthetic system for making screwed bridges, screwed bars, “toronto bridge,” “all on four,” and “all on six.” The variety, precision and pliability of IGEA’s screw-retained prosthetic components enable simple, immediate and effective correction of disparallelism between implants for tension-free (passive-fit) insertion of the prosthesis. Narrow and Regular Screws IGEA […]
