Redefining retention
Instead of cement or screws, the conometric concept uses friction retention to secure the crown and cap onto the abutment. Here is why we think this is a game–changer:
- Placement of the crown takes seconds rather than minutes
- The procedure is easier to perform
- No screw—improved esthetics, due to no visible screw access holes
- No cement—less risk of biological complications
- This is a fixed retention, but it can be retrieved for extra-oral cleaning or maintenance
- To place the final crown, you only need to click once on the crown with our unique Fixation Tool
Dentists save time and can be confident about delivering predictable, high-quality results. This improves patient satisfaction. And the workflow in the lab is easier and more efficient too.

Benefits
Why choose the Acuris Conometric Concept?
Saving time & cost
The final restoration takes seconds rather than 10-15 minutes. Lab work is more efficient and cost-effective as the final cap has a predefined margin
Less chairtime
The quick final restoration is convenient for patients also giving the dentist time to accept more patients or perform other procedures
Ease of use
Without cement or screws, there is less risk of complications. The end-results are more predictable and esthetics can be improved as there are no screw access holes to cover
Acuris redefines retention
With this concept, the final crown is cemented onto the final cap extra-orally and then attached to the abutment to provide a conometric retention.
- Indexed seating - The final cap is indexed to match the corresponding index on the top of the abutment. This allows for correct seating and orientation of the crown.
- Retention stability - We have thoroughly tested retention of the conometric connection over time under cyclic loading. The results are clear. All tested samples maintain their stability.
- Designed for excellent results - All abutments, caps and the final crown are designed to make the conometric concept easy and efficient, with guaranteed excellent long-term end-results.
- Scientific support - Studies suggest that excess cement causes peri-implantitis. That risk is diminished with this concept as there is no intra-oral cementation and thus no cement residue.
"Once you’ve tried the conometric concept, the first impression can only be — wow."
