Astra Tech implants - confident look and glowing Swedish smile

The aggressive environment of the oral cavity adversely affects the health of the teeth and leads to their premature destruction. In especially severe cases, it was almost impossible to solve the problem without breaking the harmony of the dentition, until the technologies of dental implantation appeared.

The discovery, made by the Swedish professor of dentistry Branemark, the technique of implanting a titanium implant into bone tissue, marked the beginning of a new era of dental prosthetics. For more than 50 years, dental companies around the world have been improving implant technology, but few have achieved true perfection.

Astra Tech - the leader of the dental industry

Astra Tech has passed full certification in the Russian Federation. The Swedish approach to the solution of problems of innovative prosthetics allowed the company to gain popularity in the short term all over the world.

The company is part of the world-famous pharmaceutical concern AstraZeneca Group, which occupies a leading position in the global medical products industry. The company's management relies on the use of innovative technologies that improve people's quality of life.

Despite the use of new methods of treatment, the Swedish manufacturer offers its customers only proven products that have undergone a full cycle of clinical studies.

The company initiated the creation of a state program for the rehabilitation of citizens who lost their teeth. In Sweden, the absence of teeth is equated with disability. Participation in the rehabilitation program allows the company to gain immense experience, which helps Swedish specialists to continuously improve their technologies.

Ahead of the time

The popularity of Astra Tech brought revolutionary approaches to the manufacture and installation of dental implants. Today, the Swedish manufacturer is considered the flagship of the global dental implant industry.

The company offers its customers a unique system of titanium implants, which allows you to achieve maximum integration of the prosthesis with bone tissue.

The products are designed in such a way that they can be used in all types of clinical situations. In addition, Astra-Tech implants have been tested in the course of technical, histological and clinical studies around the world.

Technological innovation

Each product has a solid and thought-out design, which consists of three parts: the actual implant, the abutment and the screw plug. The position in the dentition affects the design of the prosthesis, which forms a biomechanical system for monitoring the surrounding teeth.

Specialists of the company believe that the main task of implantation is to help the natural processes of regeneration of the body, as well as creating conditions in which healing will occur as soon as possible. Implant production is carried out using four innovative technologies:

• Osseo Speed;
• Micro Thread;
• Conical Seal Design;
• Connective Contour.

Features of each innovative solution:

1. Osseo Speed ​​ is a technology to stimulate bone growth with titanium, which provides an increased intensity of bone tissue regeneration. The unique chemical modification of titanium significantly enhances the recreational effect. To create a specific rough surface of titanium implants, the manufacturer uses fluoride. In addition, the presence of a rough surface increases the contact area of ​​bone tissue with the product, which, in combination with a special thread, can significantly improve the strength of fixation. Unlike conventional prostheses implants literally get used to the bone tissue of the jaw, and form a single whole with it. Clinical studies have shown that the percentage of successful implantation is about 99.9% of the .
2. Micro Thread is a unique technology for uniform distribution of bone tissue load. The results of many experiments confirmed that Micro Thread increases the stability of the product, and provides a reliable fixation. A strong fixation of this type is especially important in the early stages of bone splicing with the implant. A micro thread, which does not injure the bone, provides a reliable fixation of the prosthesis. This technology was developed taking into account the achievements of modern bionics, and was introduced into production after lengthy studies. This solution allows to reduce the load in the vulnerable places of contact of bone tissue with the implant, and to maximally secure the cortical bone surface.
3. Conical Seal Design is a technology for modeling the contour of the prosthesis. The bonding strength of the implant and bone provides a unique conical profile of the products. This structure allows you to transfer the main load to the lower layers of bone tissue. The design of the implant reduces pressure on the marginal bone and provides the product with additional stability. In addition, the lower part of the implant receives additional protection from surrounding tissues, which prevents the appearance of small shifts and microcracks. Stability of the product allows you to reduce the risks of damage and shifts of the product during oral care. The design of the implants can shorten the duration of the abutment installation.
4. Connective Contour is a technology for increasing the contact area of ​​connective tissue with implant surfaces due to the specific contour geometry. This structure allows to increase the stability of the product after integration of titanium surfaces into bone tissue. The surface relief is designed in such a way as to exclude the possibility of product displacements.
   Astra Tech implants have 40 sizes. The parameters of each product define combinations of 8 length options( 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 mm) and 5 width options( 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 mm).The ability to model the geometry of the abutment surface allows you to perfectly combine the product with other teeth.

Features of the installation of implants

Installation of dental implants Astra Tek is carried out surgically, and occurs in several stages:

1. Preparing the jaw for the procedure .At this stage, the preparation of the jaw surface for implantation takes place. The surgeon produces an incision of the mucosa and separates the gum from the periosteum. After the release of bone tissue, markings are made on its surface. In some cases, the bony surface can be treated with boron.
2. Drilling holes for the implant .First, a thin hole is drilled, and then the finished canal in the bone tissue is enlarged in diameter. Implantation box is given the necessary form. Usually, several consecutive drillings are performed with a gradual increase in the diameter of the drill by 0.5 mm. In special cases, before the procedure begins, a model is produced, on which the procedure is modeled. The depth of drilling is controlled with the help of a depth gauge.
3. Installation of .After the formation of the hole with the help of a special device, the implant is screwed. After disconnecting the device, a stub is placed on the product, which prevents the ingrowth of tissues.
4. Sewing .After the completion of all procedures, the surgeon sews the incisions, and mounts the gingival dilator. The patient usually has to wait 3 to 5 months until the wound heals. At the end of this period, the abutment is installed.

Alternative to

In some cases, the implant can be installed according to the accelerated program. To determine the optimal version of the prosthesis installation, the surgeon must consider the rate of tissue regeneration, the peculiarities of the jaw structure, and the presence of individual contraindications.

Advantages - what is the strength of Sweden?

Patient's opinion

Reviews of patients who have been implanted with Astra Tech implants.

The price bites. ..

The only disadvantage of Astra Tech implants is a high price, but if we take into account the specifics of production and the percentage of successful implantation, the cost of services seems to be not that high already.

On the average for Russia, the cost of a single implant together with the installation varies between 60-90 thousand rubles.
