Which implants are better, Korean or Swiss? Which implant is better to place? The best budget implants

Any patient is interested in the question - which dental implants are the best? Which dental implants provide high quality at an affordable price? Which implants are best to avoid and try not to mess with? We will try to answer all these questions below.

M.I.S.

Medical Implant System is the second most popular Israeli manufacturer. Was founded in 1995. There is nothing particularly outstanding or particularly bad to say about these implants. They provide good quality, the cost is even slightly lower than that of Alpha Bio products. In our opinion, they are slightly inferior in quality to analogues from Alfa Bio, but also cheaper. The average cost of installation is RUR 30,000.

Adin

As mentioned above, the company was founded in 1971, but appeared in Russia only in 2012. That is why they are not very well known among Russian consumers. The cost of production is lower than that of Alpha Bio and MIS.

Adin says it has its own research center and its own staff of scientists. The main features are as follows:

  • The cost is lower than that of the main competitors.
  • Proprietary Immediate Loading protocol, which allows you to install bridges on 4 or 6 specially located implants (in essence, it tries to repeat the All-on-4 technology from Nobel Biocare).
  • Branded patented titanium alloy.
  • Compliance with all strict international standards: CE (European certification) and FDA.
  • OsseoFix surface.
  • Some models come with a lifetime warranty.

It should be added that although Adin claims to meet the high standards of its products, during the company’s presence on the Russian market, certain statistics on survival rates have been collected. Namely, Adin implants showed a real survival rate of 95.5-97.5%, Alpha Bio shows a survival rate of at least 98%.

Survival rates are considered higher with the classic two-stage implantation technique. When implanting with immediate loading, the implantation percentage is 1.5-2.5% higher.

Also, implantologists do not respond very well to the instruments supplied by Adin. There is a widespread opinion in the professional environment that the tools are made in China.

Based on the facts described above, we can conclude that the Adin company is somewhat disingenuous when talking about the quality of its products being similar to Alpha Bio and MIS. Still, lower cost leaves an imprint on quality.

Ards

Production of implants began in 2005. They are the third most popular brand in Russia after Alpha Bio and MIS.

They differ from the others in a specially developed technique for drilling and implanting an implant, in which it is possible to significantly reduce the consumption of bone tissue (up to 40% savings are claimed compared to competitors).

Implants are used in almost all clinical cases, including express implantation.

In general, these are high-quality products at an adequate price (the same as Alpha Bio and Mis), the quality is similar. A serious problem is the low level of awareness of these implants among doctors in Russia, and due to this there is little clinical experience.

Implants from South Korea

South Korea, following Israel, rushed to conquer the dental implants market. Currently, local producers occupy 80% of the domestic South Korean market.


Osstem

Appeared in 1992. Osstem itself states on its website that it is the 5th manufacturer of implants in the world. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm this information in any other way. And the first in Asia (most likely this is true).

A very big plus is that the company produces a huge range of products, including related ones: instruments, abutments, allogeneic materials, etc. This allows us to provide doctors with maximum care.

In the domestic Korean market, Osstem positions itself as a manufacturer of premium implants - for the Russian consumer this means an attempt to actively compete with Alpha Bio (in principle, they are doing quite well).

The conclusion regarding Osstem implants is as follows:

  • High-quality products from a large company.
  • Quality tends to match Israeli analogues. The main competitor is Alpha Bio, we can definitely say that Osstem cannot be of the same quality (very close), but they are definitely superior to Adin and no worse than Ards and MIS.
  • The cost is usually slightly higher than Israeli competitors. On average, you will have to pay 35,000 rubles for one Osstem implant.
  • The installation of these implants has a number of unusual features, which is why some implantologists tend to avoid them. Doctors who have been trained by Osstem provide a high-quality level of treatment.

Anyridge

The manufacturer, Megagen, calls them “implants of tomorrow” and considers them premium products (most likely this is true in the South Korean market). The following features can be noted:

  • Lifetime warranty.
  • Nanospraying on the surface - calcium ions accelerate the process of osseointegration.
  • Really large assortment.
  • Reduced morbidity during installation (this is the “technology of tomorrow”), however, this requires high qualifications and additional training of the doctor.
  • The cost is above average (among Korean ones) - from 45,000 rubles per one (the cost is comparable even to some European manufacturers).
  • Unusual thread design - many doctors call them “aggressive”, due to the fact that the thread is very, very wide (this is unusual for some Russian implantologists).
  • Those doctors who use it note the advantages of this thread in the form of extremely high primary stabilization (the implant will not fall out), this is really a plus.
  • Very high installation speed. In this regard, Anyridge breaks records - it is theoretically possible to place an implant in 60 seconds. To be fair, it is worth saying that this is far from the most important thing in dental implantation.
  • Most often, these implants are used for express implantation (based on the advantages you described, this may be understandable).

The conclusion about these implants is the following: an interesting, high-tech and fairly high-quality product that can be installed, but only by a qualified doctor, and don’t forget about their higher cost.

Most recently, the company released AnyOne implants. They have become widespread in the USA and South Korea. The reviews are extremely positive and note that they are more interesting than Anyridge. In Russia this is still a curiosity.

Implantium

They are produced by the company Dentium - therefore, when they say Dentium, they mean Implantium. The first products began to be produced in 2000, and appeared on the Russian market in 2007.

These implants are used exclusively in a two-stage implantation technique. There is nothing bad to say about these implants, but nothing supernatural either. Implantologists speak about them in exactly the same way - they indicate that the implants are good, but nothing special. Judging by the reviews, patients also have no particular complaints.

Conclusion: normal quality, however, in our opinion, the price is slightly overpriced.

Russian dental implants

Niko


The company produces them Rusimplant and previously they were known under the name “Liko”. Thus, if you hear Rusimplant, Niko, Niko, Liko - this is the same thing.

The implants were developed with the participation of German specialists and are produced using German equipment (this is true). Manufacturers are even talking about a joint Russian-German venture. Their main advantage is their low cost - 2 times cheaper than Israeli and Korean ones, and 4 times cheaper than European and American ones. At their core, they are a copy of foreign analogues (many doctors “recognize” them as implants from Astra Tech), but tailored to the Russian mentality and consumers.

In principle, these implants are more than worth their price. They are cheap, they take root, they are installed normally (doctors do not experience any particular difficulties). Based on available statistics, these implants work well in restoring chewing teeth and those teeth that are not visible. There is a convenient shape (copied from foreign analogues) and a micro-rough surface made using German technologies. Restoring teeth in the smile area is not their strong point; they cannot provide the same level of aesthetics as their foreign competitors.

The range is wide and allows them to be used both with a one-stage technique and with a classic two-stage implantation.

The conclusion about these implants is the following: they can be used on a limited budget and when restoring chewing teeth (those that are not visible), when restoring front teeth, it is better to spend money on higher quality foreign analogues. You shouldn’t be too afraid of them (like some of our compatriots) - for your money it’s very good.

Conmet

Another Russian manufacturer. He tries, works, improves his products. Just as cheap, there are the same problems. You can use it, but be careful.

Cost of dental implants from different manufacturers

Rating of dental implant manufacturers

There are more than 40 different manufacturers of dental implants on the Russian market. The 23 brands presented in this article occupy more than 98% of the Russian market, so it makes sense to limit ourselves to them when compiling the rating.

It is difficult for a person who does not understand implantation issues to determine for himself which dental implants are best to choose. Only a specialist can help in this matter. The structural features of the patient’s jaw, general physical condition and the specifics of the problem that needs to be solved with the help of implantation influence the choice of the type of structure.

Dental implants: what are they?

Implants or implants are structures that replace lost natural teeth. They are inserted into the jawbone and attached on top.

Implants vary in type. In the modern world, the most common use of root-shaped dental structures, approved by specialists and patients.

Root-shaped implants are screw and cylindrical. There is a thread on the surface of the screws, which contributes to the greatest strength of fusion between the bone and the rod.

What does a dental implant look like?

A root-shaped dental implant consists of three parts:

  1. A titanium rod that acts as the root of a lost tooth.
  2. An abutment is something like a tooth that is ground to fit the size of the crown. This is the basis for the prosthesis, connecting it to the rod.

Dental implants: pros and cons


Most modern dentists are in favor of dental implants, and arguments against are usually given by doctors without the necessary qualifications to carry out this procedure or by very elderly specialists.

Speaking about the advantages of the procedure, one should point out that it is large, there is no impact on neighboring teeth and the presence of all functions of the prosthesis that are identical to the abilities of a natural tooth (chewing, speech), as well as the prevention of reduction of jawbone tissue and changes in facial features.

Considering the disadvantages of the procedure, the high cost comes to the fore. But the price of implants is quite worth it, and teeth that are as close to natural as possible are worth it.

Contraindications

Implantation is a surgical operation that cannot be done without contraindications.

There are general contraindications for any type of implantation and specific dental contraindications.

General contraindications:

  1. Blood clotting disorders, the presence of diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, chronic rheumatism.
  2. Gestation time and lactation period.
  3. Childhood and adolescence, during which the body continues to grow, which can lead to displacement of structures or slowdown in the growth of individual organs.
  4. Diseases of bone tissue, which reduces its ability to recover.
  5. Diseases of the nervous system.
  6. Oncological diseases, AIDS, diseases of the immune system.

Specific contraindications:

  • the proximity of the sinuses of the maxillary sinuses, the width and density of the bone at the point of contact of the jaw with them. Implantation for use in such cases is prohibited;
  • chronic diseases of the oral mucosa;
  • refusal by the patient to perform oral hygiene;
  • thin and fragile bone tissue in the place where the implant needs to be placed. This situation can be corrected.

Which dental implant is best?

It is impossible for the patient himself to make a choice in favor of one implant or another without the help of a qualified specialist. Only a doctor who knows all the features of a given case, has examined the condition of the patient’s teeth and has experience in carrying out similar procedures can advise one or another model.

The characteristics of the patient’s body, the shape of his jaws and other factors are the reasons for choosing the most suitable design.

Materials used

The choice of material that will be used for implantation is the most important, since the screwed-in material determines how the patient’s tissues will behave, how quickly engraftment will occur and whether it will occur at all.

High-quality materials take root without problems in most cases. Typically, titanium alloys are used as implantation materials, the content of which is up to 99 percent. And the more titanium in the alloy, the better the quality of the material and the greater the likelihood of its problem-free engraftment. The price of the product also depends on the titanium content in the alloy.

Zirconium, or rather its oxide, is used a little less frequently for implants. It produces very strong and durable structures.

Tantalum is another material used for implantation. It takes root well, sometimes even better than titanium.

In modern dentistry, new technologies are used to process the implant before its insertion into the jawbone, which increases the rate of healing.

Selection rules

When choosing an implant, you should pay attention to the characteristics presented below.

Materials

Titanium is the best material that is compatible with biological tissues. The majority of structures for implantation are made from it and its alloys. Titanium is of high quality. It is important that its grade is no less than Grad 5. In the case of an indicator below that presented, it becomes clear that there are impurities. The more impurities, the shorter the service life and the worse the survival rate of the structure.

Zirconium structures are also quite widely applicable, but are more expensive than titanium ones. They are mainly given to patients who are allergic to titanium.

Surface

Rods with a smooth surface take a long and difficult time to take root. For this reason, some models are sprayed with special compounds to create a porous effect. This service adds value to the structure.

Length and diameter

The length of the implants varies. Different models can have from 6 to 16 millimeters in length. Due to the variety of design sizes, you can choose the most suitable type for each specific case.

Manufacturer reputation

Well-known implant manufacturing companies are distinguished by the production of the highest quality products with a high warranty period and minimal risk of rejection. Greater preference is now given to manufacturers from Europe and the USA.

Form

The most common models are in the form of a cone. This form promotes rapid healing and evenly distributes the load during chewing.

Thread

Rods with two to three types of threads on the surface are considered the most preferable. After all, the density of the jaw bone differs in different areas.

Connection type

The strength of the structure depends on how the abutment and crown are connected, so it is preferable to choose designs not with a classic conventional connection, but with a modern triangular connection.

Selection criteria

  1. Survivability. Titanium has the best compatibility with biological tissues.
  2. Durability. The model that does not have a polished neck is most preferable.
  3. Hypoallergenic. For patients who have allergies, it is better to use a zirconium design.
  4. No impurities. When mixing materials is excluded, the service life, resistance to damage and the possibility of engraftment are many times higher.
  5. Easy to install.
  6. High aesthetics of the material.
  7. The ability to use the implant both during conventional implantation and when combining the procedure with bone augmentation.
  8. Availability of a certificate for the design.
  9. Price. There are clinics that can offer a significant discount on the installation of implantable structures. These are dealers or their direct partners. In different dentistry, prices for the product differ depending on their manufacturer.

Size difference

The size of the implant used depends on how large the mass and size of the bone tissue is, what features the patient’s jaw has, what is the distance between adjacent teeth and other individual characteristics. An impression of the jaw and a computed tomography scan give a clear picture of what is happening.

The smallest implants are 1.8 millimeters long. The maximum length is 17 millimeters. In cases where the volume of bone tissue is small, structures of a smaller diameter are used.

Thus, there are many types of implants in length and diameter. A qualified specialist can easily determine the required size depending on the structure of the jaw and the location where the implant will be installed.

A few words about shapes and designs

For implantation, 2 types of implant shapes are used: conical and cylindrical.

The first type is also called root type, since the shape of the cone resembles the shape of a tooth root.

Conical and cylindrical structures are inserted vertically into the jaw bone.

There are also disc-shaped implants. They are installed in the lateral part of the gum, which does not require building up bone tissue, no matter in what form it is.

The peculiarity of intramucosal implants is that they are not implanted into the bone.

Regarding implant designs, there are 2 types. Standard, consisting of a rod and an abutment, and one-piece, when the abutment is immediately attached to the root part.

When and how are implants placed?

There are several ways to install implants. The fastest is represented by intramucosal or. After removing the tooth, the specialist places a pin and prepares it. A more reliable method in the absence of the required volume of bone tissue and the presence of contraindications is the use of sinus lifting.

Implantation methods:

  • intramucosal, used to improve fixation of orthopedic structures;
  • intraosseous, usually used to restore the front row of teeth;
  • subperiosteal, used for bone atrophy or low bone height;
  • intraosseous, when the gums and periosteum are cut in order to fix lamellar, cylindrical or conical systems;
  • intradental-intraosseous, indicated to eliminate the mobility of organs when a pin is inserted into the root.

There are also one-stage and two-stage types of implantation. With the first, the load on the pin is given immediately on the first day, with the second, they wait for the structure to heal.

What should you pay attention to?

When choosing an implant, it is important to pay attention to the material from which it is made, its shape, surface (presence of porosity), size, thread and how the abutment will be attached to the crown.

In addition, the availability of the necessary equipment and instruments in the clinic plays an important role. The presence of a computer topographer and an orthopantomography system is mandatory. It is also important to have a cooling system in the clinic to cool the drill during operation and other procedures.

Much of the choice also depends on reputation. You should choose implants that meet international quality standards. These are primarily European manufacturers and representatives of the USA.

It is also important to choose an implant depending on the implantation method - you need to look at whether it is intended for immediate loading or not, whether a prosthesis can be placed immediately, whether it is suitable for complex dental restoration using protocols such as all-on-4 (), all-on- 6, Trefoil or basal technique.

The qualifications of the doctor performing the procedure, the status of the clinic and the availability of a license to perform this procedure are also the most important selection criteria.

You will learn how to choose the right implantologist.

How long does it take for a dental implant to take root?

The time it takes for the implant to heal varies from patient to patient. This is explained by the individual characteristics of each organism.

The period may depend on the location in the dentition in which implantation is performed and on the characteristics of the bone tissue.

The average duration of implant healing is at least 3 months in the lower jaw and up to 6 months in the upper jaw. It is almost impossible to remove the implant after it has completely engrafted; this demonstrates the maximum reliability of the design.

Manufacturers

The types of implants are different, and their characteristics are different. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the company that manufactured this model.

Today, implants are produced in many countries around the world.

Israeli (,), German () and American () implant manufacturers are very popular.

The most expensive are premium class implants, such as (from 40 thousand rubles), Swiss (45 thousand rubles) and Swedish (from 30 thousand rubles).

The lowest price for products from manufacturers from CIS countries. They cost from 7 to 17 thousand rubles.

Rating of dental implantation clinics

Most clinics in Moscow provide implant installation services using various methods. Today, procedures with the installation of implants in one visit, augmentation of jaw bone tissue, implantation for the elderly and many others are possible.

Here are examples of the most popular private clinics in Moscow:

  • Dental center ROOTT - has only two branches in the city;
  • SM-Clinic has branches throughout the city and provides quality treatment;
  • StomArtStudio Leonardo is a clinic where an implant can be placed for 20 thousand rubles;
  • DentaLux-M provides prosthetics and implantation services. The cost of the implant is from 25 thousand rubles;
  • Smile Denta provides implant installation services for 50 thousand rubles and more;
  • Medical Clinic provides dental restoration at a cost of 15 thousand rubles.

Rating of implants - the most expensive

  • Nobel Biocare - Swiss products, costing from 40,000 rubles. They come with a lifetime warranty. In addition to providing premium products, the company also develops the latest implantation techniques;
  • Astra Tech - designs from Sweden, costing from 35,000 rubles, also have a lifetime guarantee and are of very high quality;
  • - the most popular of expensive implants. Widespread. Cost from 30,000 to 45,000 rubles;
  • - American development, widely used in the best clinics in Russia. Cost from 25,000 rubles;
  • - good Korean implants with low cost and fairly high quality;
  • Implants produced in Russia and Belarus cost from 9,000 rubles. High quality and no less popular among other models.

Implant rating - budget

Implants, which are produced in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, are the most budget option. Their range is small and they are relatively cheap.

Such designs come in different types. There are intramucosal, root-shaped, subperiosteal, lamellar and combined models.

Lifespan of a dental implant

Despite the fact that implantation is not cheap, compared to conventional prosthetics, when calculated for the long term, it can be determined that the costs are equalized. , and other dentures last a maximum of 7 years, while in order to install them, teeth are ground down, which gradually leads to their destruction.

Note: The implant can last 30 years or more. If you follow all the doctor’s instructions, you most likely will not have to change it at all. It will serve you for the rest of your life.

Some well-known prosthetic manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their products. This service life extends to the internal rod and abutment, but the external crown may need to be replaced over time. On average, it lasts up to 15, and sometimes up to 20 years, which is several times longer than the service life of crowns with conventional prosthetics.

Caring for Dental Implants

Artificial teeth installed on implants do not require special care. The main thing is to properly, thoroughly and regularly care for your oral cavity.

Brushing your teeth should be done in the morning and evening, and it is better to do it after each meal. The duration of cleaning should be at least 3 minutes. In addition to a brush, it is better to also use a irrigator and dental floss. You can also use a toothbrush designed specifically for implants.

How much do the products cost?

Installing dental implants can solve a person’s problem of missing teeth for many years. A large number of people install dental prostheses, and therefore they are offered by manufacturers from around the world. The choice of designs is so wide that finding a suitable and high-quality implant can be a real problem. The ranking of dental prostheses by manufacturer will help with this.

Types and advantages of implants

The advisability of installing a dental structure depends on the examination of the patient and his examination. In some cases, your dentist may recommend replacing missing teeth with fixed or removable dentures. But such structures often cause discomfort, and their installation requires grinding of the supporting teeth. Therefore, many people choose to install implants.

Their advantages include:

  1. Multifunctionality. There is a large selection of designs that differ in materials and characteristics. Therefore, for each patient, depending on the density of his bone tissue, a suitable product can be selected.
  2. Preventing jaw deformation. The bone tissue between missing teeth softens over time, causing the remaining teeth to shift. As a result, the bite changes, the lips and cheeks recede, and the face takes on an senile appearance. With the help of dental implants, you can avoid negative consequences by maintaining the same pressure on the jaw.
  3. Painless. Dental dentures made from a special material fuse with the bone without causing pain.
  4. Durability. Dental implants from well-known manufacturers are distinguished by their quality and reliability. Many companies provide a long or even lifetime warranty for their use.
  5. Aesthetic appeal. The external crown installed on the implant is matched to the color of natural teeth and is practically no different from them.

When choosing the best implant, the dentist is guided by its placement location and implantation technology. Exists several types of dental structures:

Rating of premium implants

These are the most prestigious and expensive designs, which are of high quality and have a lifetime guarantee.

Nobel Biocare

Implants from a Swiss manufacturer, in addition to Sweden, are also produced in Israel, Japan and the USA. Their main characteristics and advantages are:

  1. The triangular surface of the prosthesis allows it to be secured more tightly.
  2. The conical shape of the product reduces injuries during implant installation.
  3. The structure can be installed using both single-stage and two-stage implantation.
  4. The surface of the dental prosthesis has a porous structure, through which blood cells are rejected and fibrin accumulates. Due to this, bone tissue is built up around the implant quickly and without any complications.
  5. The survival rate of the structure is more than 99%.

Nobel Biocare implants are of high quality, and their manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty.

Straumann

The Swiss company of the same name began producing implants over 60 years ago. Their production technology is constantly being improved, which allows Straumann dental structures to be included in the global ranking, occupying the top positions in it. The main characteristics of implants include:

Dental structures from the manufacturer Straumann can be used even in the case of such contraindications as bone atrophy, diabetes, smoking and many others.

ROOTT

Swiss implants from the Trate AG concern have proven their effectiveness during many years of clinical trials in European dental clinics. What determines the success of ROOTT implantation and the demand for this type of system?

  • The line of implants includes root-shaped, compression, and basal implants. There is a solution for any missing teeth problem.
  • ROOTT can be used for urgent implantation, for example, when the patient sets the doctor the task of restoring all teeth in 2-3 days.
  • ROOTT systems are ideal for restoring the frontal area - creating an aesthetic gingival margin.
  • Developments of Swiss scientists in terms of surface treatment of implants have made it possible to reduce the period of osseointegration by 1.5-2 times.
  • The survival rate of 99.2% is similar to that of premium systems, while the manufacturer of ROOTT implants, TRATE AG, recommends an installation price that is close to the middle price segment.

XIVE

Implants from manufacturers from Germany have been on the market for more than 10 years and are in great demand in Russia and many European countries. Their advantages are:

  • a special type of thread that securely holds the tooth in the bone tissue;
  • for preliminary fixation, our own intermediate links are used - a specially designed AuroBase abutment, CERCON zirconium abutment or TempBase temporary abutment;
  • dental structures can be installed even if the bone tissue is discharged;
  • with a narrow alveolar ridge, prostheses of the XiVE 3.0 series are used;
  • the survival rate is 99.5%.

Anthogyr

Dental structures from a French manufacturer combine high reliability and quality with ease of installation. They supplied to 80 countries around the world where they are in great demand. Features and benefits include:

“Antozhir” designs combine high quality, reliability and durability.

Astra Tech

The Swedish company is known among dentists around the world for its high-tech scientific developments and full product certification. The success of Astra Tech implants is due to design features, which include:

  1. Micro-roughness of the surface of titanium rods, which is obtained due to special processing of the metal. Due to this, bone healing and tissue restoration occurs quite quickly.
  2. A special microthread is an additional element for the growth of bone tissue.
  3. The special design and conical connection transfer loads to deeper layers of bone tissue.
  4. The abutment is attached using a special system, with the help of which the crown is securely fixed to the titanium root and the gums are well formed.
  5. Special screws that act as plugs protect the tooth from negative influences.

Astra Tech implants are high quality and have a 99.9% survival rate. The company provides a lifetime warranty on its products.

Price for one premium implant – from 35,000 to 70,000 rubles.

Almost all of the above manufacturers offer training for specialists and equip dental clinics with computer modeling systems and diagnostic equipment.

Compared to premium dentures, such designs are cheaper, but have good quality:

All of the above designs have versatility, reliability, high aesthetics and relatively low cost.

Budget level implants

Despite the fact that the designs of some manufacturers have a lower price, they are of good quality and are in great demand.

Korean implants Osstem

Dental structures for teeth from the Korean company Osstem known in more than 50 countries around the world. Due to the fact that manufacturers invest large amounts of money in their development and research, Osstem products are distinguished by the highest quality and affordable prices.

The Korean company produces two main implant systems - MS and TS, as well as all the components and instruments necessary for their installation.

Features of Osstem dental implants:

  1. Models of structures differ in length and diameter, can be temporary and used for fixing removable dentures. Such a variety of products allows us to solve almost any clinical problem.
  2. Bone cells penetrate into the rough surface with micropores achieved by sandblasting. Thanks to this, the dental prosthesis easily connects to the bone and quickly fits into it.
  3. The Osstem company offers a wide range of abutments. They can be made of zirconium and have an ivory tint, or titanium with a gum-colored gold base. For complex clinical cases, inclined abutments are manufactured.
  4. The last turn, missing at the base of the structure, allows the load on the bone to be reduced in the gum area, preventing its atrophy and necrosis. Throughout the life of the prosthesis, the bone remains strong.
  5. Due to the special coating, the implant takes root within one and a half months without any complications.
  6. The rough surface undergoes special cleaning, which increases its sterility. This helps prevent the development of allergic reactions to a foreign body and eliminates the risk of wound infection.

The manufacturer states that with professional and high-quality installation of its products, Osstem implants will last a long time and gives them a lifetime warranty.

Israeli dental prostheses MIS

The Israeli company has been in the dental market for many years. To manufacture implants from bioinert titanium, high-precision titanium and modern Swiss equipment are used. MIS Products has the following types of models:

In addition to the above models, MIS produces mini implants with a small rod diameter. They are most often used when installing complete structures.

The products of the Israeli company have a limited warranty period of 5 years. Manufacturers claim that implants will last a long time, but only for a certain time they guarantee their complete replacement.

Due to the fact that implant manufacturers produce products of various sizes, shapes and types, it is possible to select the desired design for each clinical case. And it doesn’t have to be an expensive product. Many budget implants are also of high quality and can last for many years.

Dental implants are multi-component structures used to restore dentition after the removal of a diseased or damaged tooth. Most often, dental implants (they are also called dental implants) consist of several components that allow for maximum fusion with the bone tissue of the tooth before installing the prosthesis. There are several types of implants, and in order to decide which one is best to use in a particular case, you need to know their positive and negative characteristics. It is also important to navigate the price category, since products from different manufacturers can vary greatly in cost.

What is the difference between an implant and a prosthesis?

Many patients who do not have special knowledge in the field of dental orthopedics often confuse the terms and believe that a denture and an implant are the same thing. A dental implant is a structure in the form of a pin or metal frame that is implanted into the jaw bone and replaces the destroyed tooth root. Dental implants are made from biological materials (most often titanium), which are rarely rejected by the body and grow well with the hard tissues of the tooth, becoming part of it.

This is the fundamental difference between implantation and prosthetics: a prosthesis, unlike implants, can have a removable or non-removable design and is attached to an artificial support.

Inexpensive implants from Russian manufacturers

Products from the Rusimplant company (Niko, Liko) belong to the budget price category and are significantly inferior in quality to their American or German counterparts. The cost of one implant including installation ranges from 10,000 to 18,000 rubles. According to orthopedic dentists, implants of this brand are best installed to restore the dentition instead of chewing teeth (these are small and large measures), since their aesthetic properties are very different from products from foreign manufacturers.

Rusimplant implants are produced on German equipment and developed jointly with specialists from Germany, but domestic raw materials are used in production, so the cost of finished structures can be kept at the level of the economy segment.

Another Russian brand of dental implants is Conmet. Installation of such a product will cost the patient approximately 12,000-13,000 rubles. Conmet designs can be used for both classical implantation, performed in two stages, and for a one-stage operation.

Table. What are dental implants made of?

Mid-range products

This group of dental implants includes products from Israel and South Korea. Today, these are the most popular brands of dental implants, as they optimally meet the price-quality ratio, have a long service life, have excellent consumer and aesthetic characteristics and are easy to install.

Ards

A young Israeli company that has been working in the dental structures market for just over 10 years (since 2005), but has already managed to establish mass production of high-quality implants, the quality of which is not inferior to products of Swiss and German brands. A significant advantage of dental structures of this brand is the special method of implantation, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of bone tissue (up to 35-40%).

Anyridge implants are characterized by minimal tissue trauma during installation and an unusual thread design covering the pin or metal structure. The wide thread allows to minimize the risks of poor implantation and loss of the product, and the coating of calcium ions ensures rapid fusion with the tissues of the jaw bone.

Pay attention! An important feature of Anyridge products is their very fast installation speed. An experienced doctor can perform the operation in 1-2 minutes, so such implants are more suitable for express implantation. The cost of one implant can reach up to 45,000-55,000 rubles, while the manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on all its products.

Medical Implant System

MIS brand implants are one of the most popular among products manufactured in Israel. They have good consumer characteristics and properties, are easy and quick to install, and can be used to restore anterior teeth due to their fairly high aesthetic values.

The cost of implanting one structure is usually about 28,000-32,000 rubles.

Adin

Adin dental implants belong to the middle price category, and their price is almost 35% lower than similar products from other brands in this segment. Products are manufactured using high-tech equipment and in accordance with established quality standards, therefore most Adin implants have a lifetime warranty. All products undergo voluntary international certification and are made from titanium alloys, which are considered the best material for the rapid fusion of structures with dental tissues.

Features of products from this manufacturer are:

  • good adhesion to bone tissue;
  • coating with calcium ions for quick implantation of the implant into the jaw bone;
  • possibility of installing bridges on four or six implants (subject to special placement).

Pay attention! Despite the manufacturer’s stated high survival rate of the material from which the pins are made, there are cases of implant rejection. The average percentage of successfully installed implants from the Adin brand is 95-96.9%. For implants from American, Swiss or German manufacturers, this figure reaches 99.8%.

Dentists consider AlfaBio dental implants to be the most popular dental structures that optimally match the price-quality ratio. The company is located in Israel and is one of the leaders in the supply of implants, some of which have a lifetime guarantee.

A special feature of these products is that they are produced complete with surgical devices and a set of instruments, so implantation operations are as easy as possible. Due to specially prepared and developed implantation protocols, it is possible to minimize the risk of errors during manipulations. The implants have a rough surface that provides reliable and quick adhesion to surrounding tissues, due to which the products of this company have a record survival rate among products in the middle price segment - 99.7%.

The AlfaBio assortment is quite wide and allows you to choose the appropriate implant for any clinical case, taking into account the required task and functions. These implants are used for one-stage operations, which represent almost instantaneous installation of the structure in one medical appointment and provide maximum load.

Dentium (Implantium)

A pretty good budget option among high-quality dental implants is Implantium dental products. They are produced in South Korea and meet all the requirements and standards for this group of products.

Orthopedic dentists note the following characteristics of these implants:

  • fast speed of implantation;
  • no problems or difficulties during pin installation;
  • a fairly high survival rate - more than 98%;
  • a special coating that provides reliable adhesion to tooth tissues.

The cost of implants of this brand ranges from 28,000 to 35,000 rubles.

South Korean dental implants OSSTEM can be considered leaders among products in the mid-price segment. The company produces a huge range of implants that can be used for one-stage, classical and basal implantation. This is one of the few manufacturers that, upon special order, can produce a temporary implant according to individual sizes, taking into account the anatomical features of the tooth.

Consumer and therapeutic properties of OSSTEM implants:

  • the surface of the pin is made in the form of a depression, so the load on the implant can be carried out 5-6 weeks after implantation;
  • the entire length of the product is coated with aluminum oxide - this allows you to maximize the service life of the product and reduce the risk of rejection;
  • The outer layer of the implant completely imitates human bone tissue.

Important! OSSTEM dental structures have increased density and strength and can be installed in patients with severely deformed and thinned bone tissue. For these purposes, the company produces special implants with increased stability, which can be implanted even in people with increased fragility and fragility of bones and with systemic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, for example, osteoporosis.

Best Dental Implants

Premium segment products traditionally include implants from manufacturers from Norway, the USA, Germany and Switzerland. It is in these countries that new schemes are constantly being developed to improve the consumer properties of finished structures and ensure maximum survival rate of pins. The only disadvantage of implants in this category is their cost - in different clinics it can reach up to 85,000 rubles.

STRAUMANN

Implants of this brand are firmly among the best products for implantation, as they have maximum consumer properties and characteristics. Four types of materials are used to produce STRAUMANN implants:

  • titanium alloys;
  • ceramics;
  • zirconium;
  • leucosapphire (a type of corundum, which is a single crystal of aluminum oxide).

STRAUMANN products can be used for various types of implantation. The big advantage is that there is no need for tooth grinding, which may be necessary when installing cheaper implants.

Other advantages include:

  • short survival period (no more than 28-30 days);
  • maximum adhesion to bone structures and complete elimination of loosening and loss;
  • high resistance to moisture;
  • possibility of implantation even with severe thinning of the jaw bone.

Important! STRAUMANN implants can be placed even in patients who are prohibited from other types of implantation. These include people with impaired synthesis of insulin and pancreatic hormones, smokers, people with atrophic processes in the musculoskeletal system.

PRODIGY

American PRODIGY implants are widely used for implantation in foreign dental clinics and are among the top ten from around the world. A special feature of products of this brand is the ability to load the prosthesis immediately after installation of the implant (with products from other manufacturers it is necessary to maintain an interval of 4 to 12 weeks). The implants have a hexagonal base, which ensures strong adhesion to bone tissue, rapid implantation and eliminates the risk of loss and fallout of the structure.

PRODIGY designs also differ in the materials used. The pin itself is made of biocompatible materials and coated with quartz-phosphorus particles, which improve adhesion to surrounding tissues. The pin has a square thread, which allows the product to be installed even during atrophic processes in the jaw bone due to the uniform distribution of the weight of the structure on four sides.

BIOHORIZONS

BIOHORIZONS implants are the most affordable brand of dental structures in the premium price segment, which is not inferior in quality to implants from other manufacturers. These products are made from zirconium alloys and have almost the same characteristics as PRODIGY brand implants.

The main properties and parameters include:

  • hexagonal base for secure fixation of screw and dental crown;
  • possibility of installation immediately after tooth extraction;
  • uniform load on the jaw due to the special root-like anatomical shape;
  • good survival rate even with a small volume of bone tissue.

A significant disadvantage and the main difference from other implants in the premium segment is the long survival period - it takes about three months. At the same time, the rejection rate of these structures is no more than 1.2%.

What to choose?

Choosing a dental implant is not an easy task. There are more than 150 types of implants from different manufacturers on the market, and it is quite difficult for a person without special education to make the right choice. When selecting the optimal design, it is necessary to take into account many factors - the patient’s age, the condition of the oral cavity, and financial capabilities. The presence of chronic diseases and the degree of thinning of the bone tissue that forms the jawbone are of great importance.

Some types of implants cannot be installed in case of osteoporosis and other bone pathologies, therefore, before the implantation operation, the doctor must collect a medical history and prescribe additional examinations, if necessary. Dentists consider products from Israel and South Korea to be the best option for most people who need implantation - their quality is almost as good as premium designs, but their cost is 30-40% lower than products from the USA or Germany, which makes them affordable for many categories patients.
