The loss or removal of a baby tooth in a child is considered a natural and normal process. A similar situation in adults develops into a problem. The absence of even one tooth will certainly entail both aesthetic and medical consequences. It's all about the resulting empty space. Because of it, adjacent teeth are loosened and displaced. The wrong bite develops. Due to the loss of natural support, teeth in the opposite row may fall out over time. In addition, in the resulting gap, food debris begins to accumulate. A similar phenomenon provokes the occurrence of caries on adjacent teeth.
How to solve the problem? To do this, you need to contact a specialist to install a bridge-like crown. However, this option is not suitable for many patients. The fact is that the installation of the crown becomes possible only after grinding of the adjacent healthy teeth, which will cause their weakening in connection with the destruction of enamel. But there is another solution that modern dentistry can offer today. It consists in the installation of implants. More recently, this option was not available to most patients because of its high cost. However, now specialists offer their patients Korean implants, which are not inferior in quality to products of famous brands, but at the same time belong to the middle price category.
Innovations in Dentistry
Progress has touched all spheres of human life. And what yesterday astonished us, today is considered yesterday. Do not bypass innovation and dentistry. Confirmation of this is an increasing number of patients turning to a specialist for the installation of dental implants. These designs are offered today from various materials and are manufactured using innovative technologies.
Recently, South Korean implants have been very popular on the world and Russian markets. Of course, they cannot be put on a par with top systems. However, judging by the reviews of dentists, they have good quality, delighting patients with their quite affordable price. Specialists are increasingly using titanium implants from South Korea in their practice, recommending them to people to restore their dentition.
The essence of innovative technology
Implantation is a dental prosthetics. The essence of this method is implantation of a special design into the bone tissue of the jaw. It is called the "implant." After that, the specialist installs an artificial tooth on such a design.
The main condition for a successful procedure is the survival of the implant. If this does not happen, then after a couple of months it will certainly be rejected. As a result, all money spent on the implant will be lost.
Solution of problems
It is not by chance that Korean-made implants in the modern market have gained such great popularity. Their release was the result of extensive research in the scientific and technical field. In addition, manufacturers exercise constant control over the quality of their products. This allows you to receive feedback from most patients about Korean dental implants as quality systems that perfectly engraft in bone tissue.
In what cases does the installation procedure of such structures solve the problems of a person who has contacted a specialist? Korean implants are applicable if:
- the patient in the absence of one or more teeth in the dentition refuses to install a bridge;
- there are no front teeth used as a support for other methods of prosthetics;
- the patient has an individual intolerance to bridge structures, expressed, for example, in an allergic reaction to the material used for their manufacture;
- there is a malocclusion that interferes with conventional prosthetics.
Implant selection
How appropriate installation of the dental design will depend on the examination of the patient by a specialist. If there are no contraindications for carrying out such a procedure, the dentist will certainly offer a catalog with implants, among which it will be possible to choose the designs of South Korean manufactures. Today in this country there are a large number of manufacturers of dental products. However, of all the species, it is recommended to focus on the three most popular. These are the South Korean implants Dio, Dentium and Osstem. Consider their characteristics in more detail.
Design Features "Dio"
Korean Dio implants can be found in dental clinics in sixty countries. They are of high quality, which is confirmed by numerous certificates. Such systems are produced by a world-famous company Dio Corporation.
These Korean titanium implants are made. This is a unique material. It perfectly fuses with bone tissue and does not cause even the slightest signs of inflammation. Titanium is not rejected by the bone even after the process of fusion. After establishing an artificial crown on the root of such an implant, it becomes a complete replacement for a lost tooth.
A feature of these Korean implants is the Brushite coating made from material made in Germany.
Unique in the design of Dio is its RBM surface, which has the following qualities:
- the ability to increase the area of contact of the implant and bone, as well as their mechanical adhesion due to the presence of deep micropores;
- safety for the human body and full biocompatibility with it due to the calcium-phosphate-ceramic shell of the surface;
- ability to take root in 98% of cases.
The RBM surface, due to its roughness, determines the durability and strength of the entire system, and also allows you to coordinate the interaction of all structural elements of the implant, namely the intraosseous part and the prosthesis itself with the bone.
Dio Corporation Product Line
South Korean manufacturer offers various types of implants. Among them are such as SM / ExtraWide, as well as UP II Implant and ProTem. We consider them in more detail below.
SM / ExtraWide
This system is represented by implants of a root-like shape that mimics natural dental roots. Such a design allows you to insert the implant into the bone, without fear of touching them located in the neighboring roots.
The cervical part of the system has a double thread. Such a solution can minimize damage to the vertical layers of bone. The thread has a pitch of 0.4 mm. This distance allows for the stability of the entire structure. A thread with a pitch of 0.8 mm is provided on the main part of the titanium rod. This distance holds the implant well in the cancellous bone. Between the main and double threads provides a smooth transition. It also allows you to enhance the stability of the implant.
The length of such structures is in the range of 8-14 mm. Their diameter is 3.8-5.3 mm. Implants are self-tapping structures. The manufacturer designed them so that the cutting edges located on the intraosseous rods exert minimal pressure on the bone during the implantation process. In addition, they provide the original Tors system, which, according to dentists, is a protection against spontaneous unwinding of the structure.
UP II Implant
This system includes conical implants. Their length ranges from 7 to 13 mm. The diameter of such implants is 3.8-5.5 mm. Among their main features, dentists note:
- open thread, which allows you to insert the implant into the deeper layers of the bone with minimal resistance;
- tapered thread in the cervical part of the structure, necessary for reliable initial fixation;
- sharp edge, allowing self-tapping design to be as effective as possible;
- round shape of the end of the implant.
ProTem
This system includes mini implants. Apply them in order to fix conditionally removable dentures. Such implants are designed as one piece designed to reduce chewing load. Their RBM surface has a high degree of biocompatibility. The diameter of such a system is 2-3 mm, which allows you to install them on the upper jaw, even in its narrowest sections.
Dio implants, created using modern technologies and materials, have earned positive reviews from many dentists, as well as patients who have chosen these products of the Korean company. Their cost is 65-90 US dollars per unit. However, the patient should consider that in addition to acquiring the design, you will need to give money for its installation. In addition, if necessary, the dentist will have to perform procedures for the preliminary elimination of various defects, for the treatment of mucous membranes in the oral cavity, etc. This will further increase the price of a tooth implant.
Dentium
Dentium Korean implants are recognized by many dental institutions in Russia, America and Europe. These orthodontic systems are made using the latest high-quality materials on the most modern equipment. Judging by the reviews of dentists, Korean implants "Dentium" have not only brilliant characteristics, but also some features that give them a number of undeniable advantages.
Such designs are universal. This allows the dentist to easily select for them all the necessary components. In addition, two types of biological compounds are used to install the product of Korean manufacturers, which allow the product to be actively implanted into the bone.
The design of the denture "Dentium" provides for a flat end. Due to this, when mounted and subsequently worn, the implant does not damage the oral cavity.
Another feature of the system is the lack of its manifestation through the gums. And to establish the design, judging by the reviews of dentists, is quite simple and quick.
In the product range of the Korean company "Dentium" there are several types of systems for implantation. Among all the models on the market in our country, the most popular are:
- Dentium Implantium This type of implant is an economical budget option for a denture. Its main differences are in a two-step spiral thread and three cutting edges that protect hard tissues from destruction as much as possible. When installed, the product is in close contact with the bone tissue, which allows the titanium root to be quickly implanted in the jaw. Among the advantages of the design, dentists distinguish its strong initial fixation, reliable stabilization and the absence of a lot of pressure on the tissue.
- SuperLine Dentium. These dental systems of the Dentium company belong to a premium class. They are created with a root shape, which allows you to replace the lost tooth root and ensure uniform pressure over the entire area of the bone tissue. Dentists note a very dense installation of the model, excluding any, even minimal displacement of the implant. They use a design for simultaneous implantation, and thanks to a large assortment of its sizes, the specialists perform the procedure for almost any clinical problems of the client.
- Slim Onebody. This model is designed to fix removable dentures. It has an elongated double thread with a fairly wide pitch. When using this system, the implantation process is significantly accelerated.
The price of a tooth implant varies depending on many factors. This is the price of the supplier of materials, and the amount necessary for the work procedure. Installation of a system with implantation of one tooth can be 45-50 thousand Russian rubles.
Osstem
The products of this company are quite popular and in demand in the market. Judging by the opinions of dentists and patients, Osstem Korean implants are of high quality and can be implanted in bone tissue for a short period of time. To date, dentists in almost fifty countries of the world use these products in their work. After all, the company, having conducted extensive research and introducing the latest developments, began to offer consumers products of unique quality at an affordable price. Osstem implants are also popular in our country.
The unique features of these products allow them to become a complete replacement for a natural tooth. After installation, they quickly take root and, judging by the reviews of customers of dental clinics, almost never cause any complications.
There are three types of models in the assortment range of Osstem products. Each of them has its own characteristics that should be considered when choosing an implant.
- TS System. This system is the most popular and widespread. Dentists respond positively to this model, since it is suitable for many patients and has no contraindications for implantation.
- MSSystem. This line includes mini-implants, presented in several types. Among them are temporary, having a narrow crest, as well as removable dentures. In their manufacture, GBR technology is used, which allows full restoration of bone tissue. The models of this line are made with special membranes that serve as a protective barrier. It is necessary in order to prevent overgrowth of bone material with soft tissues.
The price of the Osstem implant types described above is in the range of 5.5 thousand Russian rubles. However, the client will need to pay an additional fee for the procedure itself and the purchase of various components that are necessary for its implementation. Thus, the approximate cost of a turnkey artificial tooth can reach 30 thousand Russian rubles. rub.
Anyone
Manufacturers from South Korea also offer us products manufactured by the Mega Gan Implant brand. This company appeared on the market relatively recently, in 2011. Nevertheless, South Korean manufacturers have already managed to gain popularity by rising to third place in the list of the best implant solutions. Due to their unique developments in the field of materials for prosthetics, the developers of this company have earned the recognition of dentists in many countries of the world.
AnyOne implant system is able to ensure the compatibility of patient tissue and product. This was made possible thanks to the unique materials from which such models are made.
In addition, the design of South Korean implants allows the specialist to install them as simply as possible, minimizing the likelihood of errors during the procedure.
The guarantee of the purity of the coating of the structure lies in the blue color of its surface, which means sterility. Unique to this product is the type of thread. It is patented by the manufacturer. The advantage of such a thread is to facilitate the insertion of the implant, as well as the physiological distribution of the load when chewing. Due to this, the tissues surrounding the implant are not damaged. Another advantage of this product is that it has dual switching platforms. It also allows you to maintain the integrity of the tissues around the implant.
An essential advantage of the AnyOne system is Xpeed's patented coating. It is a few nanometers of a layer consisting of calcium ions. This composition allows you to speed up and facilitate the process of integration of the titanium rod into the jaw bone.
AnyOne products are inexpensive and highly reliable designs. Their average price ranges from five to six thousand rubles. However, this is far from the full cost of prosthetics. The amount that the client will have to pay for the installation of an artificial tooth also depends on the costs of diagnosing, on crowns, preliminary consultation, etc. As a result, the price of the implant can rise by another 25-30 thousand rubles.
