A Completely New Experience
what does our ICX-DIAMOND® implant line offer you?
The ICX Diamond family includes the Premium and Active variants, each available as bone level and transgingival, as well as all Tuber and Zygoma implants – all made exclusively from GiganTium®, of course.
The combination of mechanical superiority and biological optimisation is unique. GiganTium® provides strength and safety, while our hydrophilic, microstructured surface can enable faster osseointegration. This means high primary stability and long-term safety – for practitioners and patients alike
ICX-DIAMOND® Implants are available in all lengths and diameters

Overview of static load results ICX-DIAMOND®A Implant 3.3 according to standard DIN EN ISO 14801
The 14801 standard describes the static (breaking load) loading of implants. For this purpose, the implant/abutment specimens are loaded to fracture in a universal testing machine (DynaMess). Machine type: 2-column testing machine/servopneumatic Manufacturer: Dyna-Mess Prüfsysteme GmbH, 52222 Stolberg Test date ICX-Diamond®: 01.03.23 - Name of tester: Evgin Bugdaci - Job title: Dipl.-Ing. - Testing location: 53474 Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler-Germany
medentis uses the exceptional strength and purity of GiganTium in its ICX Diamond implant system. Exceptional strength and purity of GiganTium – for superior mechanical stability and safety. But what exactly is behind the term "GiganTium"?
Many implantologists have heard of titanium purity grades, but do not know all the back ground information. What type of titanium is used in implantology?
In implantology, commercially pure (CP) ti tanium grades specifically grade II to IV are primarily used. Grade IV work hardening ti tanium has established itself as the premi um standard because it offers the highest strength among the CP titanium grades and its proven biocompatibility.
Cold working and compaction significantly in crease its stability compared to classic gra de IV. Almost all implant systems available worldwide today are made of grade IV work hardening titanium. Some manufacturers also use alloys, such as ally of titanium and zirconium, to increase the strength. However, these materials are no longer pure titanium and raise questions about long-term biologi cal compatibility.
The ICX Diamond implant is made of GiganTi um. What are the biggest advantages here?
Standard CP Grade IV work hardening titani um has a tensile strength of approx. 700 MPa. Our new material GiganTium achieves not less than 1,100 MPa – around 60 percent more strength than CP Grade IV work hardening titanium. This allows us to offer implantologists maximum safety, even with smaller implant diameters, and superior long-term stability for patients. And all this is without alloy addi tives but is made from 100 percent titanium.
Can you also prove the superior results of the ICX Diamond implant? How is this tested?
Yes, we have carried out static load tests. In these tests, the implants are loaded until they break. The result was very clear: ICX Diamond implants made of GiganTium achieve more than 20 percent higher breaking load values than implants made of Roxolid®.
Roxolid® was previously considered the benchmark in the market at around 1,000 MPa – now, for the first time, we have a pure titanium that exceeds this mark. It must be emphasized here that these are static frac ture tests (static strength), not standardized continuous load cycles (fatigue strength) according to ISO standards. But even these data speak for themselves.
How does GiganTium achieve this exceptional strength?
We consistently test the incoming titanium raw materials for strength. This reveals a wide spectrum: Some batches are around 680 MPa, which corresponds to classic grade IV titanium. Others reach values of 1,100 MPa or even significantly higher – up to 1,300 or 1,400 MPa. Only these elite batches of 1,100 MPa or higher are used to produce ICX-Dia mond. This strict selection process is the ba sis for GiganTium – stronger than any known titanium, purer than any titanium alloy.
What are the advantages of the ICX Diamond implant through the combination of GiganTi um and a hydrophilic and micro-structured surface?
The combination of mechanical superiority and biological optimization is unique. Gigan Tium provides strength and safety, while our hydrophilic, micro-structured implant-sur face enables faster osseointegration. This means high primary stability and long term safety – for practitioners and patients alike.
Are you planning to use GiganTium technolo gy in other ICX implant lines?
No — and that's entirely intentional. GiganTi um is used exclusively for the Diamond line. The name Diamond stands for exceptional strength, safety, and precision—and that is exactly how it should remain.
It is important to note that GiganTium is not a new or an untested material. The technology was successfully introduced in 2023 and has since proven itself in thousands of implanta tions. Around 30% of all implants we deliver are now made of GiganTium. Feedback from practitioners has been consistently positive – both from a mechanical and biological per spective.
Since it is 100% pure titanium, there are no risks from alloy components such as zirconi um, aluminum, or vanadium. GiganTium thus offers doctors and patients a maximally safe and proven solution.
The Diamond family made exclusively from GiganTium includes the Premium and Active variants, each available as Bone-Level and Transgingival, as well as all tuber and zygo ma implants
Diamond thus remains a clear promise:
All Diamond implants are always made of GiganTium.
