Rating of dental implants by manufacturer: which are the best

There are many ways in dentistry to create a Hollywood smile. The most effective and widely used method is implantation. It is an ideal solution to problems of tooth restoration, chewing function of the jaw and aesthetic beauty.

Dental manufacturing companies every year release new orthopedic structures and implant instruments that allow customers to make the best choice based not only on the individual characteristics of the structure of the dentition, but also on the price and quality.

What kind of implants are better to install? German or Israeli, domestic or Swiss, Korean or Swedish, Belarusian or Ukrainian? What type of implant and from which manufacturer is it better to put on chewing teeth? The patient always has the right to choose.

Types of implants

Depending on the shape of the orthopedic structure, strength, technology for installing the implantation system and the place of its implantation, the following types of dental implants are distinguished:

1. Root structures - the most widely used of all types of implants on the market. They have a cylindrical shape with a thread and a titanium screw at the base. This type is applicable only if there is a sufficient volume of bone tissue. If it is not enough, then a build-up procedure is required.
2. Plate products - used for narrow bone tissue. They are able to implant deep enough when there is almost no possibility to insert the implant, providing increased stability of the structure.
3. Combined - a rather complex design that combines the properties and qualities of plate and tapered products. Can be used for all forms of dental problems.
4. Subperiosteal products. They have a rather large openwork design, are characterized by fragility and are widely used when the client has thinning of the bone tissue. They are implanted under the gum between the bone and the periosteum.
5. Endodontic stabilized products for strengthening or lengthening the root system, which are among the best due to the high degree of reliability and the inability to injure the mucous tissue of the oral cavity.
6. Intramucosal or mini implants - the only type without screwing the structure into the dentoalveolar bone. They are a stabilizer for removable dentures.

What you need to pay attention to

When choosing orthopedic structures, it is worth considering the following recommendation characteristics.

Materials (edit)

The best and most durable material for such products is titanium, which has ideal biocompatibility. Most of the implantation systems are made on the basis of titanium or its alloys.

Of particular importance is the titanium brand, which is responsible for the quality level and should not be lower than 5 Grad. If the value is less, then there are impurities that will affect the rate of engraftment and reduce the life of the implant.

For more expensive orthopedic models, zirconium dioxide is used, which is recommended by dentists for an allergic reaction to titanium material and its alloys.

Implant surface

In the presence of a smooth and polished surface, implantation of the implant is much more difficult. In order for the orthopedic product to take root quickly and efficiently enough, a plasma spraying system is used for this (from above the implant is treated with a special solution to impart porosity to the surface), sandblasting, acid etching and others ways.
This way of improving the quality significantly increases the cost of the product.

Options

Manufacturers of implantation systems provide a fairly large assortment of implants in lengths of 6-16 mm and diameters from 3 mm. The range of implant sizes must contain at least 4 types of length and diameter sizes. Thanks to this variety, the client can choose the most appropriate size of the missing tooth.

Reputation of the manufacturing company

Manufacturing firms in the USA and Europe produce the most high-tech and high-quality dental products and instruments. It is to such companies that the highest quality standards are imposed. Their designs have rare cases of rejection and a fairly long service life.

The form

Orthodontists prioritize cone-shaped implants or patented nano-platform switching technology. Their distinctive feature is the ability to snuggle tightly and evenly distribute the chewing load on the structure.

Presence of thread

Manufacturing companies pay much attention to the design thread, quality, fixation and high degree of implantation. They use several types of threads in the manufacture of implants, taking into account the different survival rate and density of the bone-jaw tissue in all its areas. In this regard, before prosthetics, you should choose implants with several types of threads.

Connection type

The place where the crown and abutment come into contact is very fragile, therefore a unique connection method is used to avoid twisting and fracture.

Selection criteria for implants

There are many options of manufacturers and types of implant systems for the client's choice on the dental constructions market.

To make the right choice, it is worth considering some criteria for the selection of implants:

• survival - tapered implant structures made of titanium take root best of all;
• durability - the system with a thread without a polished neck lasts the longest;
• ease of installation in the bone-jaw tissue;
• appearance and aesthetic qualities
• type of surface and threads of the structure;
• the ability to combine bone grafting and implantation procedures, as well as the ability to implant implants without surgery, without violating the integrity of soft tissues;
• the product has a quality certificate confirming its authenticity and technical characteristics;
• long service life specified by the manufacturer and the provision of warranty service in the country of purchase;
• the cost of the product - depends on the level and size of the clinic, and whether the clinic is a dealer or not.

In addition, the wider the range of implants in the clinic, the more choice the client has.

Implant rating

The quality rating of dental implants by manufacturer depends on many criteria:

• survival rate of the product;
• the frequency of manifestations of complications and consequences;
• operational service life.

That is, some statistics are required, which are quite difficult to conduct due to individual structural features of the human body, reaction to a foreign body, specialist qualifications and much more.

It is also worth paying attention to the cost and specifications from manufacturers. Therefore, it is possible that a budget model installed by a qualified specialist will be better than a premium implant in the hands of an inexperienced doctor.

Premium implants

The first place was taken by the systems of manufacturers from Switzerland and Sweden.

Applicable in all cases, as they have cone-shaped pins with double thread, triangular reunion method, excellent contact and functional connection between the implant and the osteomandibular tissue on which load.

Output

Before starting implantation, you need to familiarize yourself with all types of implantation systems on the Russian market from foreign and domestic manufacturers. And also study experienced professionals in the field.

Dentists recommend paying attention to all product characteristics when choosing implants: brand, country of origin, selection criteria, main advantages, and not only on the price, because it is not key. An important role is played by the professionalism of the doctor and his ability to work with a specific implantation system.
