MIS Implants.

MIS Implants Technologies dates its first implant to 1995 in northern Israel. The company's 2020 anniversary essay credits the Peretz brothers with making that implant and with an early sale measured in a first order of 100 implants. Dentsply Sirona's June 27, 2016 acquisition announcement described MIS as a privately held manufacturer headquartered in northern Israel. The German-language Dentsply release from the same day said the company was founded in 1995 in Shlomi. Later investor materials from TA Associates, which had owned MIS, list the headquarters as Bar Lev and say the sale to Dentsply Sirona closed in September 2016.

The anniversary essay describes the years after 1995 as a push into Europe, a presence at the 2001 IDS meeting, and a U.S. branch, followed by a move from a small shop into a larger industrial park as headcount grew. The current company story says MIS develops implants, superstructures, tools and kits, regenerative solutions, and digital dentistry services, and that the goal is to simplify implant dentistry. The U.S. contact block on the MIS site is labeled Dentsply Sirona, and the Canadian address on that page uses a Dentsply Sirona email. This profile does not describe MIS as an Envista brand. Envista is a different corporate family.

Two current geometries are documented in detail. The C1 page calls it a conical-connection implant with platform switching and a dual-thread, root-form body, and it says the set includes a sterile single-use final drill, a cover screw, and a temporary cylinder. The V3 catalog calls the V3 a triangular-neck implant for esthetic work and says V3 and C1 share one prosthetic solution, one surgical kit, and one drilling protocol. The same catalog says every MIS implant is sandblasted and acid-etched, and it discusses that surface using the SEVEN implant as the example.

Dentsply Sirona's 2016 announcement placed MIS in the value segment of the implant market and said the reason to buy it was a brand distinct from Dentsply Sirona's premium implant lines. The German release named Ankylos, Astra Tech, and Xive as the existing Dentsply Sirona systems MIS would sit beside, not replace. That is the right way to read the portfolio: same parent company, different implant systems, different prosthetic parts.

A practice that already restores MIS should keep the conical-connection kit and the matching abutments together. A practice that restores a different connection should not assume a C1 abutment fits that implant. Regenerative materials are part of the company story, but this profile does not name a graft SKU the fetched pages did not spell out. Confirm the current bone-graft and membrane names on the MIS or Dentsply Sirona order form.

MIS suits a surgical or restorative practice that wants a conical-connection system with one kit covering the C1 and V3 geometries MIS documents, and that is comfortable ordering inside the Dentsply Sirona organization. Dentsply described the brand as value-segment. That is a pricing-position statement from the acquirer, not a measured outcome. The Dentsply Sirona profile is the parent. The office products directory lists the other implant manufacturers.

General dentists placing straightforward cases and surgeons placing esthetic anterior cases are both in the C1 and V3 copy, which says the two shapes share prosthetics. The office still needs an implant motor that can follow the MIS drilling protocol. The motor is not in the implant box. See the implant motor guide.

Labs need the connection drawing before they accept a cement-retained or screw-retained MIS case. A laboratory that mills for a different conical system should not guess. Ask MIS for the current compatibility chart.

Inside Dentsply Sirona, MIS was purchased to stand next to Ankylos, Astra Tech, and Xive, which the 2016 release treated as separate premium systems. Do not mix their abutments. Outside that family, Implant Direct publishes an internal-hex Legacy system and a conical-hex Simply Iconic system and sells direct. Dentium publishes SuperLine and Implantium and says abutments interchange across three of its own systems. ZimVie publishes T3 and TSX from the former Zimmer Biomet Dental business. Straumann and Nobel Biocare are other implant brands in the directory.

The comparison that changes an order is the connection and the kit, not a slogan. MIS says C1 and V3 share one conical prosthetic platform and one surgical kit. Legacy's published connection is an internal hex, with its own kit layout. Those parts do not cross over because both companies use the word "implant."

Grafts are a second comparison. MIS says it offers regenerative solutions. Name the SKU from the current catalog, then read the bone-grafting guide for how allograft, xenograft, and synthetic materials differ. The guide is not an MIS price list.

Order the surgical kit that matches the connection you will place. MIS says the conical-connection kit covers C1 and V3 and uses color coding for diameter and platform. A practice that also places another Dentsply Sirona system needs a second kit and a second prosthetic drawer. Confirm whether your distributor is the Dentsply Sirona implant channel or an MIS-labeled price list. The U.S. contact on the MIS site is presented under Dentsply Sirona, with CustomerService@MISimplants.com shown on that page.

Warranty terms were not printed on the pages reviewed for this profile. Ask for the implant warranty, the drill replacement policy, and what happens to a sterile single-use final drill if the packaging is opened and the implant is not placed. The C1 page says that final drill is single-use and sterilized. Do not resterilize it because a cassette has a spare slot.

Training is part of the company story, which emphasizes education. Ask which courses are available in your region and whether they are required before the first order. Digital planning is mentioned. It does not replace a physical surgical kit or an implant motor that can hold the speeds in the MIS protocol. The motor guide lists what to check on that device.
