Loss or removal of a milk 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. Malocclusion develops. Due to the loss of natural support, teeth that are located in the opposite row may fall out over time. In addition, food remains begin to accumulate in the resulting gap. A similar phenomenon provokes the occurrence of caries on adjacent teeth.
How to solve the problem? To do this, you will need to contact a specialist to install a bridge crown. However, this option does not suit many patients. The fact is that the installation of the crown becomes possible only after turningnearby he althy teeth, which will cause their weakening due to the destruction of enamel. But there is another solution that modern dentistry can offer today. It consists in the installation of implants. Until 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 well-known brands, but at the same time belong to the middle price category.
Innovation in dentistry
Progress has touched all spheres of human life. And what only yesterday led us to wonder, today is already considered yesterday. Innovation and dentistry have not bypassed. This is confirmed by the increasing number of patients who turn to a specialist for the installation of dental implants. These structures are offered today in a variety of 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 the same level with top systems. However, judging by the reviews of dentists, they are of 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 for restoring the dentition.
The essence of innovative technology
Implantation is a dental prosthetics. The essence of this method is implantation into bone tissuespecially designed jaws. It is called the "implant". After that, a specialist installs an artificial tooth on such a design.
The main condition for a successful procedure is the survival of the implant. If this did 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.
Problem Solving
It is no coincidence that Korean-made implants have gained such great popularity in the modern market. 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 us to receive feedback from most patients about Korean dental implants as high-quality systems that take root perfectly in bone tissue.
In what cases does the procedure for installing such structures help 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;
- Missing front teeth used as support for other types 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;
- malocclusion occurs, preventing normalprosthetics.
Implant choice
How appropriate the installation of a dental structure will depend on the examination of the patient by a specialist. If there are no contraindications for such a procedure, then the dentist will certainly offer a catalog with implants, among which it will be possible to choose designs made in South Korea. Today in this country there are a large number of manufacturers of dental products. However, of all the types, it is recommended to focus on the three most popular. These are South Korean implants Dio, Dentium and Osstem. Consider their characteristics in more detail.
Dio design features
Korean Dio implants can be found in dental clinics in sixty countries around the world. They are of high quality, which is confirmed by numerous certificates. Such systems are produced by the world-famous company Dio Corporation.
These Korean implants are made of titanium. 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 fusion process is completed. After installing an artificial crown on the root of such an implant, it becomes a full-fledged replacement for a lost tooth.
The feature of these Korean implants is the Brushite coating, made from a material made in Germany.
Unique in the Dio design is its RBM surface, which has the followingqualities:
- the ability to increase the area of contact between the implant and the 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 surface shell;
- the 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 elements of the implant design, 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 SM/ExtraWide, as well as UP II Implant and ProTem. Let's look at them in more detail below.
SM/ExtraWide
This system is represented by root-shaped implants imitating natural tooth roots. This design allows the implant to be inserted into the bone without fear of touching nearby roots.
A double thread is provided in the cervical part of the system. This solution minimizes damage to the vertical layers of the bone. The thread has a pitch of 0.4 mm. This distance allows you to ensure the stability of the entire structure. On the main part of the titanium rod, a thread with a pitch of 0.8 mm is provided. This distance well fixes the implant in the cancellous bone. A smooth transition is provided between the main and double threads. This also improves the stability of the implant.
The length of such structuresis in the range of 8-14 mm. Their diameter is 3.8-5.3 mm. Implants are self-tapping structures. The manufacturer has designed them in such a way 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
Conical shaped implants are included in this system. Their length is in the range from 7 to 13 mm. The diameter of such implants is 3.8-5.5 mm. Among their main features, dentists note:
- open thread that allows the implant to be inserted into the deeper layers of the bone with minimal resistance;
- conical thread in the cervical part of the design, necessary for a reliable initial fixation;
- sharp edge allowing self-tapping design to be as efficient as possible;
- round shape of the end of the implant.
ProTem
This system includes mini-implants. They are used to fix conditionally removable dentures. Such implants are designed as a one-piece design 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 areas.
Dio implants, created using modern technologies and materials, have earned positive feedback from manydentists, 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 take into account that in addition to acquiring the structure, you will need to pay 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 dental implant.
Dentium
Korean Dentium implants are recognized by many dental institutions in Russia, America and Europe. These orthodontic systems are manufactured using the latest high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment. Judging by the reviews of dentists, Korean Dentium implants 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 all the necessary components for them. 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 dental prosthesis "Dentium" provides for a flat end. Due to this, during mounting and subsequent wearing, the implant does not damage the oral cavity.
Another feature of the system is the absence of its manifestation through the gums. And install the design, judging by the reviewsdentists, quite simply and quickly.
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 the two-step helical thread and three cutting edges, which maximally protect hard tissues from destruction. During installation, the product is in close contact with the bone tissues, which allows the titanium root to be quickly implanted into the jaw. Among the advantages of the design, dentists highlight its strong initial fixation, reliable stabilization and the absence of great pressure on the tissue.
- SuperLine Dentium. These Dentium dental systems belong to the premium class. They are created with a root-like shape, which allows you to replace the lost tooth root and provide 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 one-stage implantation, and thanks to a large assortment of its sizes, specialists perform the procedure for almost any clinical problem 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 dental implant varies depending on the setfactors. This is the price of the supplier of materials, and the amount of work required for the procedure. Installation of a system with implantation of one tooth can cost 45-50 thousand Russian rubles.
Osstem
The products of this company are quite popular and in demand on the market. Korean Osstem implants, judging by the reviews of dentists and patients, are of high quality and are capable of being implanted into bone tissue within a short period of time. To date, these products are used in their work by dentists in almost fifty countries around the world. After all, the company, having carried out extensive research and introduced 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 feedback from the clients of dental clinics, they almost never cause any complications.
There are three types of models in the product range of Osstem. 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 speak positively about this model, as it suits many patients and has no contraindications for implantation.
- MSSystem. This line includes mini-implants presented byseveral types. Among them are temporary, having a narrow comb, as well as removable dentures. In their manufacture, GBR technology is used, which allows you to completely restore bone tissue. Models of this line are made with special membranes that serve as a protective barrier. It is necessary in order to prevent the soft tissues from overgrowing the bone material.
The price of the types of implants described above by Osstem is within 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 gained popularity, climbing to 3rd place in the list of the best implant solutions. Thanks 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.
The AnyOne Implant System is able to ensure that patient tissue and device are compatible. 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 much as possiblesimply by minimizing the possibility of error during the procedure.
The guarantee of the purity of the structure coating lies in the blue color of its surface, which means sterility. The type of thread is also unique in such a product. 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 during chewing. Due to this, the tissues surrounding the implant are not damaged. Another advantage of this product is that it has double switching platforms. It also helps to preserve the integrity of the tissues around the implant.
The most important advantage of the AnyOne system is the company's patented Xpeed coating. It is a few nanometers of a layer consisting of calcium ions. This composition makes it possible to accelerate 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 has to pay for the installation of an artificial tooth also depends on the costs of diagnosis, crowns, preliminary consultation, etc. As a result, the price of an implant can rise by another 25-30 thousand rubles.
