Implant Identification: Internal Hex with Microthread?
Could you please help me to identify these implants? They are internal hex with microthread. There is no color coding.

Appears to be an Astra implant (Dentsply) I would recommend removing the healing abutment and snap a pic of the connector. If it looks like this then its Astra http://dentalimplantplanning.com/Implant%20Identifier/Images/Connections/astra-connection.jpg

Are you going to extract the tooth with the failing endo between the implants?

Why do you need to identify the implants? If you are going to locate crowns on top of them, remove the healing caps and try them on different diameter analogs you might have saved from old cases. Once you get the fit, order the components of that platform and complete the work. Most threaded internal screws are standard, but you can also test them using the same method. Good luck.

It is always better identify to use original components. Fit is very different from exact connection. If you can not identify agree with the idea of compatible. These implant body threads are reversed? A periapical could greatly help in identification.
