Does anyone know where to get implant parts for the Schutz Impla cone connection?
are you a patient or dentist?
i think schutz implant is a german implant? if you in europe you should be able to contact their sales rep.
If you in USA. then your out of luck. i dont think they implants are sold here.

but here is their link. good luck.
Depending on what it is compatible with you could look at DESS or Azure for a matching part. I HATE using non OEM stuff but considering that you are asking about a product that isn’t used in the US it might be your best option.
dr scotty. considering restoring foreign implants w/ domestic parts. If something were to happen to the implant or crown. what and who will be responsible or liable for post op complication treatment? i havn’t asked my legal team considering this issue. since i am assuming it’s a rare complication.
Not sure but if you find out let me know because as a specialist most of my implants are restored by others and they often cut corners with aftermarket junk leaving me to deal with the fall out… This is why I have removed myself from the referral business and gone to restoring the majority of my own stuff. Not because I am any better but simply because I am willing to use the proper components. Aftermarket junk is aftermarket junk regardless of the country of origin. If you ask me it should be illegal to uses anything aftermarket but clearly that is not the case… Also I looked at the Schutz website and it appears to be just like all of the copycat junk that is sold in this country so put junk on top of junk and it should work at least as good as most of the other junk…
But to answer your question I think it is the responsibility of the person who is willing to do the right thing for the patient and I have assumed that responsibility for the past 20 years. As such I have developed a tremendous hatred for all things aftermarket and copycat in the implant arena and now place and restore only ZimVie and Straumann (I no longer use Blue Sky Bio due to inaccuracies with their new digital restorative components) with only their OEM components. This commitment to placing and using only quality stuff has done nothing to alter the successful integration of a screw but it has all but eliminated unnecessary long term restorative/mechanical complications.
