A Dentist's Quest for a Better Implant
Leo Malin, DDS, discusses how clinical challenges inspired him to develop his own implant system and why education remains central to his approach to innovation with Implant Logistics.
After observing bone loss around implants, Leo Malin identified the abutment connection as an important design factor and began developing Implant One.

Malin sought to improve on the Ankylos design by adding abutment orientation and a bulkier connection for molar implants.

Implant Logistics began in 2009, and Malin says the Implant One system supports both digital and analog workflows.

Malin describes Implant One as a value-based system with two thread patterns, a conical abutment connection, and placement at or below the crest.

Malin says he has placed about 20,000 or more Implant One implants and has grown the company slowly to ensure it was robust before expanding.
