What Microplant does
Microplant is a Brazilian medical device manufacturer, founded in 2004 and headquartered in São Paulo with a regional office in Recife, specializing in prosthetic components for dental implants. The company produces over 5,000 SKUs compatible with more than 40 implant system platforms, including External Hexagon, Internal Hexagon, and Morse Cone connections, plus premium platforms such as Grand Morse and Straumann Bone Level. Core products include preparation abutments, healing abutments, transfer posts, implant analogs, burnable/castable components, scan bodies, and specialty kits such as Kit Tachinha for guided bone regeneration.
Microplant's distinctive capability is a proprietary implant identification service: dental professionals submit X-rays or impressions, and Microplant identifies the implant brand/type and manufactures compatible components within 10 days — materially faster than the 30-day industry standard. A peer-reviewed study by the University of São Paulo (USP) Department of Prosthodontics validated that Microplant's components exhibit the highest interchangeability rate among tested brands. The product line is supported by digital libraries for Exocad 2025/2026, 3Shape, and Dental Wings CAD systems, enabling digital prosthetic design workflows for dental laboratories.
The revenue model is direct and indirect hardware sales of prosthetic components. Distribution combines direct sales (phone, WhatsApp, website contact), a regional Brazilian distributor network (Harte, DPS Odonto, Dental Progresso, Sumaré), international channel partners (Imprudent in Bolivia, AMK in Peru), and an independent sales representative recruitment program. Marketing is anchored in educational content: monthly courses and workshops led by Scientific Director Dr. Geralddo Paglia, a scientific blog, customer testimonials, and downloadable catalogs/manuals. Primary customer segments are dentists/implantodontists and dental prosthetists/laboratories, with distributors as a secondary channel. All products are ANVISA-certified and manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 quality management standards.

Products and services
- Cicatrizadores (Healing Abutments) Healing abutments used during the healing phase after implant placement to shape the soft tissue around dental implants. Sold to dentists and prosthetists across Brazil and international markets.
- Pilares Protéticos (Prosthetic Abutments) Prosthetic abutments that connect to dental implants and support prosthetic restorations, available for multiple implant platforms including External Hexagon, Internal Hexagon, and Morse Cone systems.
- Transferentes (Transfer Posts) Transfer posts used to capture implant positions during impression-making, enabling accurate prosthetic fabrication on laboratory models.
- Análogos (Implant Analogs) Implant analogs that replicate the implant position in the dental laboratory, allowing prosthetists to fabricate prosthetic frameworks on accurate master casts.
- Calcináveis (Burnable/Castable Components) Burnout/castable components used in the lost-wax casting fabrication of prosthetic frameworks, consumed during the casting process.
- Scanbody Scan bodies used in digital workflows for accurate 3D registration of implant positions, optimizing clinical time and patient comfort during intraoral scanning and CAD design.
- Kit Tachinha (Tack Kit) A guided bone regeneration kit containing a stainless steel applicator, titanium tack, and Teflon hammer, used to fix membranes or barriers over grafts during regenerative procedures in dental practices.
- Mini Estheticone Compact prosthetic abutment compatible with Grand Morse and Straumann Bone Level systems, designed as a single-piece solution for both single and multiple screw-retained prostheses in aesthetic and molar/pre-molar regions. Includes pillar with cuff heights from 0.8 mm to 3.5 mm, analog, open/closed tray transfers, Co/Cr bases, fully burnable caps, titanium provisional abutment, and pillar cover. Features a 1.6 mm torque key and 1.8 mm retention screw.
- Pilar de Preparo 3.5 mm (3.5 mm Preparation Abutment) Hybrid analog and digital preparation abutment with a 3.5 mm cuff height, designed for small edentulous spaces (particularly anterior lower teeth). Features a pass-through screw for enhanced stability on Morse Cone implants and supports scan body transfer for digital workflows.
- Biblioteca Digital Microplant (Microplant Digital Library) Digital libraries that integrate Microplant's compatible prosthetic components into EXOCAD (2025 and 2026 versions), 3Shape, and Dental Wings CAD software, enabling dental laboratories to design prosthetics digitally using Microplant components within their existing CAD/CAM workflows.
- Implant Identification Service A service in which Microplant receives X-rays and/or impressions from dental professionals, identifies the implant brand and type, and manufactures compatible prosthetic components. Processes over 50 identifications per day and delivers custom components within 10 days, compared to the 30-day industry standard. Targeted at dentists and prosthetists who need to rehabilitate patients with unknown or discontinued implant systems.

Microplant competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Nobel Biocare: Global dental implant and prosthetic component manufacturer owned by Envista. Comparable because Nobel Biocare's implant platforms and prosthetic component offerings represent one of the major OEM systems Microplant's compatibility library covers.
- SIN Implant System: Brazilian dental implant manufacturer with a full line of implants and prosthetic components. Comparable because SIN competes in the same product category (implant prosthetics) and was explicitly named alongside Microplant in the USP interchangeability study.
- Neodent: Brazil's largest dental implant OEM and Straumann Group subsidiary. Comparable because Neodent manufactures implants and prosthetic components in Brazil, overlapping with Microplant's component compatibility and serving the same prosthodontist customer base.
- Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment and implant manufacturer (including MIS Implants). Comparable because Dentsply Sirona covers implants, prosthetic components, and CAD/CAM systems that directly overlap with Microplant's product and digital library offerings.
- Implacil De Bortoli: Brazilian dental implant manufacturer producing implants and prosthetic components. Comparable because Implacil operates in the same Brazilian dental implant ecosystem and directly competes for the same prosthodontist and dental lab customers.
- Straumann: Global dental implant leader and parent of Neodent. Comparable because Straumann manufactures implant systems and proprietary prosthetic components (including Bone Level platforms that Microplant's Mini Estheticone specifically targets for compatibility).
- BioHorizons: Global dental implant and prosthetic component manufacturer. Comparable because BioHorizons produces implants and prosthetic components across multiple platforms that intersect with Microplant's compatibility coverage.
- MIS Implants: Dental implant and prosthetic component manufacturer (now part of Dentsply Sirona). Comparable because MIS produces implant systems with prosthetic components that Microplant must support within its compatibility library for dental laboratories.
- Conexão: Brazilian implant and prosthetic component manufacturer. Comparable because Conexão was specifically benchmarked against Microplant in the USP interchangeability study and serves identical customer segments in implant dentistry.
Direct peers
- Titaniumfix: Brazilian manufacturer of dental implants and prosthetic components. Comparable because Titaniumfix is a regional competitor producing compatible prosthetic components for the same Brazilian dental laboratory and prosthodontist customer base.
