The Open Dental Community (ODC) was created to share experiences in 2000 by Swiss doctors. Gradually it has grown into an International organization. The community researches, analyzes, develops new techniques, systematizing the gained experience of the participants. The participants are implantologists with extensive experience and number of clinical cases.
Doctors, patients are dependent on manufacturers of implant constructions, who do not want to invest money in development.
ODC created the project “ECRS Implantology”. The content of the project is to develop a universal treatment selection tool for patients with partial and complete adentia:
E: Eliminate – reducing or completely abandoning what does not improve outcomes; C: Combine – combining, combining effective methods of work; R: Rearrange – reorganizing, setting new priorities; S: Simplify – minimizing the actions of implantation.
The Swiss company TRATE AG was the first company to agree to participate in this project.
Thanks to the vast accumulated experience of the Community members, the ROOT implant system was developed, which complies with the requirements of “ECRS Implantology” and includes all implant types.
