CMI Fixation – Essential Criteria for AnyTime Loading
Dr. Young-Ku Heo emphasizes implant fixation strength as a key factor for the success of Immediate and Early Loading, both in single cases and full-arch implants, based on the CMI Fixation theory. Through various clinical cases, he has observed that achieving optimal initial fixation strength stabilizes the implant, preventing micromovement, minimizing bone loss, and promoting successful osseointegration.
CMI Fixation Theory
CMI Fixation is an implant placement concept developed by Dr. Young-Ku Heo, designed to achieve optimal initial fixation across various clinical conditions, including different residual bone heights and densities. This approach categorizes the implant into three zones—upper (C), middle (M), and lower (I). When fixation is secured in all three zones, regardless of bone conditions, it facilitates both Immediate Loading and AnyTime Loading.
C Fixation : Coronal part of implant
M Fixation : Middle part of implantI
Fixation : Apical (inferior)part of implant
Achieving 100% Success in implant Surgery & AnyTime Loading
What is AnyTime Loading?
AnyTime Loading is a unique concept developed by Dr. Young-Ku Heo. It aims to overcome the period of bone weakening (reduced stability) by enhancing the physical bond between thet implant and the bone during the osseointegration process. This approach ensures a 100% success rate in implant treatment by determining the optimal loading period for each case.
Advantages of AnyTime Loading
1. Excellent for aesthetically important anterior tooth loss
2. Applicable to edentulous patients such as All on X
3. One-day treatment possible for patients with limited time

Neo Implant that realized CMI Fixation
Neobiotech's CMI implant features a tapered body and a robust inverted triangle-shaped thread design at the apex, enabling excellent self-compaction during implant placement. In addition, the Macro Thread design on the upper part of the implant is engineered to obtain strong and stable initial fixation force, which can enhance primary stability together with CMI Fixation.
Why AnyTime Loading is Possible with CMI Implants
1. Primary Stability: Enhanced physical bonding with Old Bone through Magic Thread, Macro Thread, and Tapered body design, significantly improving primary stability.
2. Secondary Stability: S.L.A. surface treatment facilitates osseointegration, enabling direct biological bonding between newly formed bone and the implant surface, further enhancing secondary stability.
