Lyra ETK · iPhysio®
Three clinical roles. One anatomical component. One uninterrupted protocol.
Healing abutment. Scanbody. Provisional support. iPhysio® replaces three separate components — and the disruption they cause — with a single anatomically contoured element, placed once at implant insertion and left undisturbed through osseointegration.
The conventional protocol works against the tissue.
Traditional implant workflows demand repeated disconnection and reconnection of healing components. Every removal exposes the peri-implant interface. Every replacement risks soft-tissue collapse. Every handover between healing, impression, and provisional introduces another variable into a system that should be closed.
Ten years ago, LYRA ETK set out to end that cycle. iPhysio® is the result — now in its second generation, refined by more than a decade of clinical feedback from the practitioners who use it every day.
Three functions. One component. Placed once.
iPhysio® is a screw-retained, anatomically contoured component that serves three clinical roles from the moment of implant placement to the final restoration — without being removed.
01 · Healing
Placed at implant insertion. Shapes the emergence profile during osseointegration, so the soft tissue matures around the exact contour the final restoration will inherit.
02 · Impression
Acts as its own scanbody. Captures the gingival architecture already established — not a theoretical profile reconstructed after the fact. Fully integrated into intraoral scan workflows.
03 · Provisional
Supports a provisional restoration without ever being disconnected from the implant. The peri-implant junction remains sealed from placement through prosthetic handover.
Designed from the gingiva, inward.
The iPhysio® geometry is derived from CT imaging of natural dentition, not generalized from a default cylinder. Five anatomical shapes — A, B, C, D, and E — combined with multiple heights (2, 3, and 4 mm), give you an exact match for the clinical indication at hand: anterior, posterior, narrow ridge, immediate post-extraction, sub-sinus.
The emergence profile you want the final crown to sit within is the one the tissue forms around during healing. No compromise between what heals and what restores.
A surface the soft tissue accepts.
The titanium body is finished with a zirconium nitride coating engineered to promote epithelial and connective tissue adhesion. The result is a soft-tissue seal that forms earlier, holds stronger, and stays cleaner — visible in the peri-implant tissue at every recall.
Placed once. Undisturbed.
Because the same component heals, scans, and supports the provisional, the peri-implant junction is never broken during the critical weeks after placement. Bacterial ingress is minimized. Tissue maturation proceeds without interruption. Component count is reduced by roughly half. And the chair time historically consumed by swapping healing caps for impression posts for temporary abutments is simply returned to you.
A decade of clinical evidence. Refined by the clinicians who use it.
iPhysio® has been in clinical use since 2015. A long-term clinical feedback report by Dr. Jacques Cheylus — spanning more than 1,000 placed implants over ten years — documents the protocol’s evolution from its first-generation polymer-on-titanium-base design to today’s one-piece, screw-retained, zirconium-nitride-coated construct.
The system you adopt today is not a prototype. It is ten years of clinical feedback, compressed into a single component.
Compatible with the systems you already trust.
The iPhysio® protocol extends across the full LYRA ETK® Bone Level and Tissue Level ranges, and is compatible with a growing list of major implant connections — including Anthogyr®, Biotech Dental®, and Straumann® BLX® (TorcFit™ RB & WB). Whichever platform your practice already works with, the protocol adapts to it rather than replacing it.
Built for the way you actually work.
iPhysio® is a digital-first component. It serves as its own scanbody, drops directly into intraoral scan workflows, and hands off cleanly to the laboratory CAD/CAM pipeline. No conversion step. No intermediate component. The healing phase is the impression.
The component is one part of the answer. The protocol is the rest.
Mastery of iPhysio® is not learned from a brochure. ARETE runs structured, hands-on training across Germany — shape selection, placement protocol, provisional workflow, prosthetic handover. For clinicians adopting the system for the first time, and for practices standardizing it across multiple operators.
