“What are the differences between implant brands? What should we pay attention to when choosing a brand?”

In implant treatment, which is a medical application, the success of the implants can be determined as a result of long-term clinical follow-up of the patients undergoing the procedure and regular radiographic film examinations of the patients.With all these processes and scientific studies carried out by physicians, the positive and negative results of implant treatment and the reasons for the negative results can be determined. As a result of these determinations, implant companies can provide renovation by making the necessary improvements on the implants they put on the market. For this reason, the older and better known an implant company is, the more data they have, their reliability, implant success rate and the sophistication of their implants. In addition, technical features such as how much guarantee the company provides for its implant, the titanium and alloy ratios used in the implant material, how the implant surface and neck properties are, the ease of access to the implant and its spacers are other indicators of the quality of the implant. The biggest differences between brands are due to the reasons mentioned above. For this reason, we need to make a brand choice by considering all these features. Since Maxillofacial Maxillofacial Surgeons have the most knowledge of all these technical information with their experience, we recommend you to choose a brand in line with their recommendations. In our clinic, we primarily recommend Straumann (ITI), the first company in the world to launch the implant. Although this implant is higher in price than other implants, it is the most preferred implant brand in the world due to its reliability and the highest success rate in the world. The success rate of this implant is 98.2%. You can also choose other brands according to your own economic situation, with the advice of your doctor.
