Dental Implant Technologies
With advances in techniques and technologies, doing and having
dental implant treatments has been simplied with shorter treatment
time:
OsseoCare Surgical Set
 The OsseoCare Implant Surgical Set from Nobel
Biocare is a measurement and drilling device used in
dentoalveolar surgery and implant site preparation.
With such
new technological developments, the predictability of immediately
loading dental implants and safety to patients can be further
enhance.
CT Scans
 CT Scans can now be done in viewing a three dimension view
of the patients bone quality and density for pre-operative
planning and implant treatment diagnoses.
Panoramic x-rays coupled with CT Scans eliminates
surprises during surgery by providing accurate and comprehensive
information about the patient's anatomy and enables flapless
surgery whereby no incisions are made in the patients mouth.
3D Computerized Planning
  3D pre-operative planning software now enable viewing functionalities
of axial, sagital and coronal images as well as cross-sections
and panoramic images.
Planning software such as Nobel Guide and Simplant gives 3D visualization
and simulattion of implant placement and bone augmentation
procedure. 3D computerized planning with CT Scans also now enables surgical guides and prosthetic works to be done prior to dental implant treatment, enabling the concept for teeth-in-an-hour.
Dental Implant Surface Innovations & Materials
 New developements in the material types and surfaces of dental imlants now provides additional
confidence for one day implants, same day implants,
immediate load implants, immediate function implants cutting down the healing osseointegration timings from the conventional 6 months to just 3-4 weeks.
ITI Struamann's SLActive Dental Implants has
a chemically active and hydrophilic surface that
significantly promotes the initial healing reaction
allowing for a faster osseointegration, enhanced bone formation and higher implant stability.
ITI Struamann's Bone Level dental implants combines both SLActive surface technologies and Bone Control Design opening the possibilities for improved natural esthetics restorations due to increased scope for desitn in gingiva management.
Roxolid and Titanium Bone Growth |

New material type for dental implants such as Roxolid has also enabled smaller diameter implants with high strength. Histological analysis between Roxolid and titanium shows a better
bone in-growth behavior as measured by BATA (bone area to total area) for Roxolid implants compared to
titanium implants. Roxolid small diameter implants offer you more treatment options when preserving existing bone and vascular supply is important.
