The Only Definite and Proven Solution for Peri-Implantitis
The ImplantB dental implant solves the problem of PI in dental implants. PI is a common
inflammatory disease that affects up to 40% of dental implants each year, causing great
suffering to the patients and, in many cases, leading to physical removal of the implant.
The company has successfully completed a pre-clinical trial in Spain - the first in the world to
show bone regenration around the implant (re-osteointegration), and is currently starting
its first clinical trial.
Innovative, patented dental technology
Implant B developed the NGI 100 - an innovative dental implant made up of two parts - a body and a removable sleeve, which allows the easy replacement of contaminated surfaces. The implant can be suitable for use by all dental implant companies, and does not directly compete with existing implants. NGI 100 provides a unique solution for periemplantitis, which does not currently exist in the dental implant market. The company has approved patents in the US and Europe.
An Unmatched Product in a Huge and Extremely Profitable Market
The dental implant market is estimated at billions of dollars a year and growing rapidly.
Implant B has developed a unique implant that gives a unique solution to a problem that has
not yet been solved in the implant market. Implant B's product is ready for mass production,
its production costs are not high and the market is very profitable, with tens of millions of
dental transplants performed every year.
Implant B is in the process of getting regulatory approvals from the FDA and a European standard certificate from the CE.

Support of a Prestigious Technology Incubator and the Israel Innovations Authority
Implant B developed its technology within the NGT3 Technological Incubator, and has,
therefore, also received funding from the Israel Innovation Authority, which supports and
invests in early stage medical technology companies. The company initially received a
significant multi-year grant for the development of its technology, and it received an
additional grant later on.
A Team of World-Renowned Experts in the Field of Dental Implants and Start-Up
Management
Implant B was established by top dentists who are closely acquainted with the problem of
peri-implantitis in dental implants and who identified the market need for an effective
solution. The company's staff consists of senior dentists, engineers, and management and
investment professionals with extensive experience in establishing, managing and investing
in start-ups.

The Idea
The Need
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that occurs in approximately 10% - 36% of dental implants each year (in high-risk patients, such as smokers, diabetics, chronic patients, etc., the incidence can reach 45%).
The disease starts in the gums’ soft tissue, moves to the bone and causes bone loss, implant and restoration failure. The implant is exposed and infected, making it necessary to remove it and begin the whole process anew, all the while knowing that the disease may very likely recur.
Current solutions try unsuccessfully to focus on implant surface decontamination and physical removal of pathogens. Today, there is no solution in the market that solves the problem of PI and prevents the need for re-implantation.
The Solution
Implant B's innovative implant is made up of a Titanium body and a removable sleeve. The sleeve sits on the upper part of the implant and thus prevents the disease from affecting the implant. In other words, instead of the bacteria infecting the implant itself, it infects the sleeve. The sleeve can be easily replaced as soon as an infection is detected, thus preventing the need for re-implantation.
In the event of PI, all that is required is to replace the sleeve with a new clean sleeve. This solution maintains the original location of the implant as well as the original reconstruction (tooth or bridge).
The Technology
The dental implant consists of two parts made of titanium - a body and a removable upper sleeve that protects the implant against bacterial accumulation. In the case of PI, the infected sleeve is removed, the infected area is cleaned, and a new, clean sleeve is placed.
This implant is protected by a patent approved in the US and Europe and is the only one in the world that provides a solution for Peri-Implantitis.
