The Glidewell HT™ Implant System simplifies surgery and provides you with unrivaled support from the most experienced dental lab in the U.S. With a 99.2% success rate backed by an implant-to-crown lifetime warranty, the Glidewell HT Implant promotes success in implant dentistry while lowering your surgical and restorative costs.
Note: The Glidewell HT Implant System is formerly known as the Hahn™ Tapered Implant System.
OPTIMIZED BY THE LAB, PERFECTED BY DENTISTS
The Glidewell HT Implant System, formerly known as the Hahn Tapered Implant System, pairs a simplified surgical protocol with unrivaled cost savings that enable clinicians to grow their practices while expanding patient access to high-quality care. As growing numbers of dentists seek to expand the implant services they offer patients, the Glidewell HT Implant offers ease of use backed by world-class education and expert technical support from the most experienced dental lab in the U.S., enabling a prosthetically driven approach from implant placement to delivery of the final restoration.
The Glidewell HT Implant System has demonstrated a 99.2% success rate and includes a straightforward drilling sequence with length-specific drills that make it easy to achieve the appropriate depth of the implant osteotomy. Glidewell HT Implants feature an array of sizes that allow for placement in all regions of the mouth, from tight anterior spaces to second molar sites. An aggressively angled thread pattern with self-tapping grooves is designed to facilitate swift, efficient delivery. The pronounced thread design also enables precise directional control during placement, and has demonstrated excellent primary stability in all bone types — even in fresh extraction sockets.
The machined collar of the Glidewell HT Implant allows for flexible apicocoronal positioning while enhancing soft-tissue health and crestal bone preservation. The implant’s color-coded, conical connection eases restoration delivery and supports a wide variety of prosthetic protocols. And when you choose to restore your case at Glidewell, you are backed by our comprehensive lifetime warranty — from Glidewell HT Implant to BruxZir restoration.
Glidewell formed a partnership with Dr. Jack Hahn, who created the NobelReplace® implant and has been placing implants for over 50 years, to design the Glidewell HT implant, finding a shared goal in expanding patient access to implant treatment. The Glidewell HT Implant is offered at a fraction of the price of other premium-quality implant systems, and saves you 20% off every time you restore your case at Glidewell. By simplifying the surgical and restorative aspects of treatment and dramatically reducing your costs, the Glidewell HT Implant System makes it easier for you to grow your practice and gain patient acceptance of treatment.
The Glidewell HT Implant System is manufactured by Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Glidewell Laboratories. NobelReplace is a registered trademark of Nobel Biocare. Glidewell HT and Hahn are trademarks of Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc.
Glidewell HT™ Implant 2-Year Follow-Up Study
99.2% success rate in two-year study1
- 0.2 mm mean bone loss after two years
- Average increase of 0.05 mm of bone between year one and two
Mean Bone Loss Around Various Implant Systems After 1 Year
The Glidewell HT Implant System showed just 0.23 mm in mean bone loss after one year, setting it ahead of similar implant systems after one year of performance.

Decrease in Bone Loss Around Glidewell HT Implants
A decrease in mean bone loss between years one and two indicates that some of the Glidewell HT Implants in the study actually gained in marginal bone.1
Clinical Studies
The patient’s fractured maxillary left central incisor was removed and immediately replaced with a 4.3 mm x 13 mm Glidewell HT Implant.

Four months later, a BruxZir® Zirconia crown was delivered.
By enabling precise directional control during placement and high primary stability, the Glidewell HT Implant was essential to the predictable, esthetic outcome.
After removing the patient’s failing teeth in the lower left posterior quadrant, a surgical flap was created and three 4.3 mm Glidewell HT Implants were placed into the site. After four months, excellent healing and tissue health were observed.

Three BruxZir Full-Strength Zirconia screw-retained crowns were created, connected to the Glidewell HT implants and evaluated for final adjustments. The fit, occlusion and esthetics were excellent.
The final radiograph shows the integrated Glidewell HT Implants as well as the individual BruxZir crowns after delivery, both of which contributed to the excellent long-term prognosis the patient enjoys.
Extraoral image of the patient, who presented with terminal dentition and poor esthetics and function. The patient requested a fixed upper restoration and did not want to wear a removable appliance at any point during treatment. A BruxZir Implant Prosthesis was selected for maximum durability, optimal esthetics, and the ability to refine the prosthetic design with the PMMA provisional implant prosthesis.
– Clinical dentistry by Paresh B. Patel, DDS
The maxillary teeth were extracted and alveoplasty was performed. Then, osteotomies were created for the Glidewell HT Implants, the sharp threads of which helped maintain proper position against the palatal wall during insertion. This positioning is important both to situate the implants behind the incisal edges of the eventual prosthesis and to avoid the fragile buccal plate. Multi-unit abutments were connected to the implants, correcting for divergent angulation among the implants.
The monolithic zirconia full-arch implant prosthesis was delivered, established a precise fit and required zero adjustments. The patient, who had grown accustomed to the prosthetic design during the short trial period wearing the PMMA provisional, was delighted with the function and esthetics of the final restoration. The Glidewell HT Implants, which helped facilitate proper positioning for the full-arch restoration and established the primary stability needed for immediate provisionalization, contributed to the predictable final outcome.

It has simplified the surgical and the prosthetic protocol immensely. With the Glidewell HT system, each implant has a specific … final drill, so you don’t need drill stops. You don’t have to look at the black lines. It makes implants so easy.
I’ve been placing implants since 1984, and they’ve all been designed by Dr. Jack Hahn — from Steri-Oss®, to NobelReplace®, to the Glidewell HT Implant. I’ve found that as his designs have changed and improved over the years, the predictability for both the bone and soft tissue has gotten even better.
This is so much farther ahead than anybody else. You’re going to go to this product and I haven’t had one person that’s switched over that didn’t say, ‘I’m glad I switched over.’
The Glidewell HT Implant simplifies the surgical protocol better than any system I’ve ever used, and restoring my cases with Glidewell's implant lab has completely solved issues with fit and occlusion.
I switched to Glidewell HT implants several years ago and have been so impressed with the clinical success of the implants. They have performed well in every clinical situation, from single-unit implants, to full-arch cases, to immediate placement at grafted sites. Hahn implants are the gold standard in my office and make every case a slam dunk!

Indications
Glidewell HT Implants are indicated for use in maxillary and mandibular partially or fully edentulous cases, to support single, multiple-unit, and overdenture restorations. The implants are to be used for immediate loading only in the presence of primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading.
Glidewell HT Implant Abutments are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.
Glidewell HT Implant Multi-Unit Abutments are intended to provide support and retention for multi-unit screw-retained restorations. The 30-degree multi-unit abutments must be used within 45 degrees of parallelism for a splinted restoration. The 17-degree multi-unit abutments must be used within 32 degrees of parallelism for a splinted restoration.
