Dental Implant is an important step forward in the field of Dentistry, helping to restore lost teeth optimally in terms of shape, color and chewing function, no different from real teeth. Thanks to these advantages, Implant has become the choice of many patients with tooth loss.
However, there are many types of Implants with different origins on the market today, making many people skeptical about their quality. So, which type of Implant is right for you? Let’s learn about Implants and the popular types of Implants today through the article below!
MỤC LỤC NỘI DUNG
1. Structure of dental implants
Implant has the same structure as a real tooth including: Implant post, Abutment and porcelain crown.
Implant post: made from Titanium alloy, cylindrical or tapered like a screw. The surface is specially treated to integrate with the jaw bone optimally, helping the post to bond tightly with the bone, thereby replacing the real tooth root.
Abutment joint: To connect the Implant pillar with the porcelain crown, Abutment is designed in a variety of ways, suitable for each type of pillar to support the porcelain crown on the Implant pillar.
Tooth body (ceramic crown): made of metal ceramic or all-ceramic, used to replace the real tooth body, placed close to the upper end of the Abutment, fixed on the Implant pillar. The ceramic crown is designed and manufactured based on the patient’s tooth impression, with the same color, size and shape as a real tooth.
2. Popular types of implants today
Currently, on the market there are several types of Implants that are chosen by many customers with missing teeth such as: Korean, French, Swiss, German, American Implants… So, which type of Implant is the best?
Nobel Biocare Implant (USA)
Nobel Biocare is a popular Implant system, present in over 70 countries worldwide.
The outside of the Nobel Implant pillar is covered with a TiUnite biomembrane, which helps the pillar integrate with the bone quickly, thereby shortening the time for dental implant placement.
Nobel Biocare has a conical design, which helps increase size and stability to surrounding soft tissues.
This is a suitable Implant product line for implantation in cases of porous jawbone, or immediate implantation after tooth extraction.
Dentium Implant (Korea)
Dentium Implant is a line of implants manufactured in Korea and the US. This type of implant is chosen by many people for dental implants because of its reasonable price and guaranteed quality.
Dentium Implant has a ten-twist structure and sandblasting surface treatment technology, ensuring aesthetics and high adhesion, helping the integration time with the bone and surrounding tissues to take place quickly. Thanks to the threaded post design, it will increase the contact area of the post surface. At the same time, it minimizes the displacement of the Implant, preventing bone loss around the Implant.
Dentium Implants are highly durable, resistant to force and heat, and can be used for a lifetime if the customer has a proper oral care regimen.
Osstem Implant (Korea)
Manufactured by the AIC Advanced Implant Education Center in Korea, it is the leading implant line in the dental implant market here and is popular in more than 50 countries around the world.
Osstem Implant is made of Titanium and is certified by the US FDA for safety and is evaluated by experts as one of the benign implants that does not cause irritation, is not corrosive and is completely compatible with the human body.
Similar to other types of Implants, OSSTEM Implants are also made from pure Titanium, ensuring high biocompatibility, and can quickly and firmly integrate with the jawbone to increase stability even when the jawbone is weak.
After about 1 to 3 months, the implant will integrate firmly with the jawbone for a nearly 100% success rate, helping people with missing teeth restore their chewing ability almost like real teeth.
Straumann Implant (Switzerland)
Straumann Implants are manufactured by Straumann Group (Switzerland), leading in the high-end Implant lines today, highly appreciated for their quality and restoration time due to the following outstanding advantages:
- Dental implants are benign and safe for the body because they are made from pure Titanium.
- Compact design but very strong, can easily implant into jaw bone in a short time.
- Straumann Implants do not take up too much jawbone space because they are compactly designed, do not affect adjacent teeth, help protect the jawbone, and limit the need for bone grafting in cases where the jawbone does not meet the standards for tooth grafting.
- Straumann Implants are coated with a biological membrane that helps promote the integration process between the jawbone and the Implant quickly, shortening the tooth restoration time to only 6 to 8 weeks.
- Straumann Implant is suitable for all tooth loss positions, ensuring maximum chewing function and aesthetics. This is also the top choice for patients with complete tooth loss and severe jaw bone loss.
Mis V3 Implant (Germany)
This is a line of Implant pillars manufactured in Germany, possessing outstanding advantages, helping to effectively restore lost teeth for customers.
The implant body is designed with spiral threads to help the bone and implant integration process take place quickly and extremely firmly.
The biocompatibility of the Mis V3 Implant is very high because it is made from Titanium and the surface is treated with exclusive monomolecular phosphate technology, helping the implant to combine firmly with the jaw bone without being rejected or causing any complications.
Tekka Global Implant (France)
As an Implant product of Global D Group, it is strictly tested by the Association and leading quality testing organization in the field of dental materials.
Tekka Global Implant is made from TA6V ELI alloy – a high-grade pure Titanium alloy used in medicine, very suitable for implant restoration thanks to its ability to help the implant integrate with the jawbone quickly, with high tightness and stability, increasing the success rate after implantation up to 99%.
The special design of Tekka Implant can be used for all cases, from 1 or 2 missing teeth to multiple missing teeth, long-term missing teeth, people with porous jawbone, people with periodontal disease… Moreover, it can be applied to cases that require immediate restoration (attaching porcelain crowns immediately after implantation) while still ensuring strong and healthy chewing ability and aesthetics like real teeth.
3. Which type of dental implant is good? How to choose the right type of implant
Each type of implant will have different advantages and prices. You should choose a dental implant with a clear origin to ensure the safe treatment of tooth loss.
There are many types of Implants on the market today with prices ranging from medium to high. Depending on your financial ability and jawbone condition, you can choose the appropriate type of Implant.
If your jawbone is still qualified for dental implants, you can choose popular Korean implants. However, if you have lost teeth for a long time, your jawbone has gradually deteriorated, and you are not qualified for dental implants, you should choose Straumann or Nobel Biocare implants.
In addition, you should choose implants with a compact design that will not invade adjacent teeth and quickly integrate with the jawbone, helping to save treatment time and costs.
A successful implant surgery depends not only on the quality of the implant but also on the skill and expertise of the doctor performing the surgery because this is a difficult surgery. Therefore, you should choose a reputable dental clinic specializing in implant surgery so that the examination, consultation and treatment process is safe and ensures the best results.
