Dental implants

Implantation of teeth has entered the life of modern man, but still most people are wary of this operation. Expensive and long - these are the main associations. But this is not the case at all.

An implant is a titanium pin (rod) that is screwed into the gum. There it overgrows bone tissue and serves as a solid base for a crown. Why is it better to have an implant? Implant-supported bridges and dentures hold firmly and do not irritate the mucosa. They prevent bone loss, which means that your smile remains youthful and your jaw does not droop. In addition, implants are easy to care for, no different from natural teeth.

What about expensive and time-consuming?

Yes, implants are not cheap. But dentures and bridges need to be replaced regularly, while implants will last for the rest of your life. And it's not so clear-cut about "long" anymore. There are different implant protocols. Two-stage, also called classical, take several months. …

Russian patients like implants from Germany because of their long service life. Many of them come with a lifetime warranty. The quality of the products is confirmed by certificates of the European Union and the ISO 13485 quality system for medical products.

Implantologists appreciate them because the system can be tailored to any clinical case. In addition, all implantation protocols are carefully designed to minimize complications.

Among the countries that produce implants, Germany takes one of the leading places, primarily because the manufacturers rely on a strong scientific base. Scientists develop new types of surfaces, threads, and shapes of implants to increase the level of engraftment and accelerate osseointegration. Reputable medical journals regularly publish research data that confirm a high percentage of successful engraftment.

There are several types of German implants on the Russian dental market.

Dental implants in Russia began to be manufactured in the mid-90s. This allowed engineers and implantologists to use foreign experience and scientific research data in their developments. Russian dental implants meet modern requirements to the physical properties of products - in their production they use medical titanium of high purification, and the surface is processed by sandblasting. Unfortunately, in the field of technology and methodology, domestic products are inferior to foreign ones.

Implants were introduced in Sweden in 1952. A Swedish scientist, Per-Ingvar Branemark, discovered the phenomenon of osseointegration and applied it to dentistry. He discovered that a titanium post overgrows bone tissue in such a way that it is very difficult to remove it. Based on this property of bone tissue, Nobel Biocare developed the first implants from Sweden.

Nobel Biocare remains the leader in global implant production, but it is quickly being overtaken by another Swedish company, Astra Tech Implant System, which is part of the international corporation Dentsply Sirona.
