Dental implantation today is one of the most advanced technologies for the restoration of lost teeth.

Implant implantation has been performed for several decades.

The market of dental implant services has been growing and developing recently.

An increasing number of people with dental problems are realizing the benefits of implantation over other prosthetics.

The best dental implants can serve a person for several decades.

• A huge selection of designs from leading manufacturers of a variety of materials allows you to choose an implant that is ideal for a specific clinical situation.
• And before choosing an implant, you need to know the advantages and disadvantages of the presented models.
• Over the past decades, implant models have been repeatedly improved.
• Due to the variety of forms and types of implantation, the dentist can choose the appropriate treatment option for the patient.

Types of Implants

When choosing an implant, the dentist decides which dental implants are better and takes into account the technology of implantation of the implant, as well as its location.

• Root-shaped - the most common implants. They have the appearance of a threaded cylinder. They can be installed if there is a sufficient volume of bone tissue. With its lack, building is required.
• Plate constructions. Apply when the bone is very narrow. They occupy a large volume of bone tissue.
• Combined implants combine the characteristics of plate and root structures. Often have a complex configuration and large size.
• Subperiosteal. The design of such implants is quite large. They are placed between the periosteum and the bone. Used in case of severe thinning of the bone.
• Endodontically stabilized structures. Serve to strengthen the root.
• Intra mucosal or mini implants. Installation does not require their introduction into bone tissue. Using these structures, stabilization of removable structures is carried out.

Selection rules

When choosing a design, it is necessary to be guided by the following characteristics:

Materials

• One of the best materials that has the greatest biocompatibility is titanium.
• The vast majority of implants are made of titanium and its alloys.
• Important is the quality of titanium. Brand titanium should be no less than Grad 5.
• A lower rate implies the presence of impurities that reduce the engraftment and reduce the life of the implant.
• In the production of expensive models, zirconium dioxide is used.
• Zirconium implants are recommended for allergies to titanium and its alloys.

What should be the surface of the implant

• The engraftment of structures having a smooth and polished surface is rather difficult.
• In order for the implant implantation process to be reliable and of high quality, some manufacturers spray a special composition on top of the structure to create a porous surface.
• Such processing ultimately affects the cost of the structure.

Variety of implant lengths and diameters

• Implant manufacturers provide a choice of a sufficient variety of implants, ranging in size from 6 to 16 mm in length.
• Thanks to this choice, it is possible to correctly select the design necessary for each clinical case, and conduct high-quality treatment.

Manufacturer Reputation

The manufacturers of the highest quality products are the USA and Europe, since the products of these countries are subject to the highest quality standards.

Dental implants manufactured by reputable companies have the best qualities that minimize the risk of structural tearing and guarantee long-term use.

Dental implant shape

• The best dental implants are cone-shaped or have a patented platform switching system.
• A feature of such implants is that they quickly take root, and when they are used, a uniform distribution of the masticatory load is produced.

The presence of thread on the implant

• Different parts of the jaw bone have different densities.
• Manufacturers of high-quality implants, taking into account this feature, use several types of thread on the same structure.

Therefore, when installing implants, it is necessary to give preference to implants having 2 to 3 types of thread.

Type of connection

• The junction of the crown and abutment is rather fragile.
• With a classic connection, their loosening and fracture can occur.

To prevent such consequences, manufacturers of high-quality implants introduced a trihedral type of connection.

Criterias of choice

• Survival rate. Root-shaped implants made of titanium have the best survival rate.
• Durability. The best option is an implant fitted with a thread without a polished neck.
• Simplicity of the installation system.
• The presence of an aesthetic component.
• The possibility of combining bone grafting and implantation, as well as the possibility of implanting implants without bone grafting.
• Availability of design certificate.
• The cost of the implant. Many clinics are either dealers or may have significant discounts from them. A large clinic has the opportunity to make discounts on implants. In addition, different clinics offer dental implants from different manufacturers, differing in design and price.

Implant rating

To determine the rating of dental implants, it is necessary to know the percentage of survival of the structures, the frequency of possible complications after surgery, the life of the structure, i.e., certain statistics are required.

It is difficult to do this, due to the fact that each human body is unique, the structure of bones also has a number of distinguishing features, and the qualifications of doctors can also vary.

And therefore, it is possible that an inexpensive model in the hands of a professional can quickly and without complications take root, and one that is much more expensive in the hands of a dentist who does not have enough experience can cause complications.

The response to a foreign body and the immune response are different for different people, which can also affect the results of statistics.

The following are structural data from leading manufacturers that differ in performance and cost.

The reliability of these manufacturers is time-tested, therefore, it remains only to find a qualified dentist.

Most often in implantology, modern implants of leading manufacturers are used:

Premium class - the most prestigious and expensive implants:

• Nobel Biocare - very expensive designs, characterized by high quality and lifetime warranty.There are four types of implants: BranemarkSystem, NobelSpeedy, NobelReplace, NobelActive. Implants are suitable for any clinical case. Double-threaded conical pins. Trihedral connection type. Good integration. The average cost of one tooth is from 40,000 to 70,000 rubles.
• Straumann (Switzerland) - a proven company. The company gives a lifetime warranty on its products. The average cost of an implant is from 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.
• XIVe (Germany) - implants having a unique thread design and high stability, even when they install a spongy bone.
• Anthogyr (France) - designs are made of high quality titanium. Resistant enough to the effects of environmental factors.
• Astra Tech (manufacturer Sweden) - high-quality design with many options for the length and diameter of the pins. Price from 35,000 to 45,000 for one tooth. Implants contribute to rapid osseointegration, have a stable and strong fixation.

The above manufacturers, in addition to implant designs, equip dental clinics with diagnostic equipment and computer simulation systems, as well as offer specialist training.

Average price level:

• Dentsply Friadent - Ankylos implant system. They are distinguished by a special system of connecting the implant and the abutment. Average price for one tooth from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.
• Schutz (Germany) The manufacturer offers collapsible and non-collapsible implants. The average cost in Russia is from 18,000 to 30,000 rubles.
• Zimmer (USA) Produces mini implants, standard designs, as well as implants for implantation into thin bone. In Russia, the average price of such structures ranges from 18 to 30 thousand rubles for one tooth.
• Niko (Liko) Manufacturer of implants Russia, assembles designs from German components. The average cost of one implant in Russia from 23000 to 28000 rubles.

Implants, in comparison with the premium class, are cheaper, but quite high quality.

Budget level:

• Mis (Israel), Ards, AlphaBio The average price in Russia is from 15000 to 24000 rubles for one tooth.
• Implantium - South Korean implants. The cost of one implant - from13000 before25000 rubles

Despite the lower cost than implants of previous manufacturers, they are of good quality and are in demand.

Manufacturers: Belarus, Ukraine, Russia. The cost of implants ranges from 7000 to 17000 rubles for one tooth.

The quality and durability of budget implants made by the CIS countries leave much to be desired.
