How do Israeli dental implants differ from other manufacturers?

In Russia, Israeli implants have become widespread. However, not all doctors know how to work with them. The wide range of implant systems available is confusing. But the key to successful implantation is strict adherence to the protocol.

It is safer to undergo implantation with Israeli implants from a doctor from Israel. In Moscow, treatment can be done at the Akademstom clinic with Dr. Yakubov. Having an Israeli doctor’s diploma and extensive work experience allows us to help patients even in the most difficult cases:

with significant bone tissue atrophy;
in old age, with compensated hypertension and diabetes;
for gingivitis and other inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.

Dental treatment will help restore the aesthetic and functional components of your smile.

Benefits of Israeli dental implants

A large assortment of titanium roots and suprastructures from brands such as CORTEX, Alpha Bio, Adin, MIS;
the country's research laboratories are continuously improving existing designs and developing new models;
survival statistics reach 99%.

Manufacturers produce implants that can solve any problem of missing teeth:

endosteal - installed in the jaw bone;
subperiosteal (subperiosteal) - installed between the jaw bone and the periosteum.

Manufacturers' warranty and service life

Manufacturers provide an official guarantee for titanium construction from 5 to 20 years. This means that the implant must retain its functionality for the specified period.

If the rod fails or is defective, the manufacturer will replace it free of charge.

The manufacturer's warranty has nothing to do with the warranty obligations of the clinic that installed the implant. The clinic is not responsible for technical failures; the guarantee only applies to the work performed by the implantologist. If the rod is rejected due to a violation of the implantation technology, the patient can count on compensation. Typically, the clinic’s obligations are specified in the contract for the provision of medical services.

Comparative characteristics of implants

To understand the table, bone biotypes are described below (click to expand)

D1 type of bone tissue is a dense layer of bone, mainly included in the anterior sections of the upper and lower jaw;
D2 bone type – medium density. The ratio of dense - cortical and spongy - layers in this type of bone tissue is 1:1, sometimes 1:2;
D3 type The ratio between the dense and spongy layer is 1:2, the cortical layer has an average thickness of 2-3 mm. Unlike type D2, the cancellous part of the bone contains a larger number of trabeculae (branches);
D4 type This type of bone tissue is characterized by low density and is problematic for implantation. Present in the area of the lateral teeth, upper jaw and tubercles, rarely found in the anterior region. The ratio between the dense and spongy layers is 1:4, with an average thickness of the cortical layer of 1-2 mm. Trabeculae in the spongy layer are loose and thin.

That. For certain clinical situations, certain implants are better suited. Typically, the clinic has three or four implantation systems in its arsenal, which can successfully resolve 90% of cases.

Expected conclusion: Answer the question “which implants are better?” It’s definitely not possible, since every manufacturer fights for its reputation and ensures the high quality of its products. In addition, the service life of implants is influenced not only by their quality, but also by many factors: the level of professional training of the implant surgeon and orthopedic dentist, the specific clinical situation, the quality of auxiliary materials, and the patient’s discipline when caring for the oral cavity. Therefore, when choosing implants, patients should trust their doctor and follow his recommendations.

Popular brands of implants from Israel

Israeli manufacturers of dental systems:

Ards;
Mis;
Alpha Bio;
Adin;
Iterum;
ABDental Devices.

The company's catalogs also contain suprastructures, bone substitutes, surgical and orthopedic instruments.

How are Ards systems different?

Double thread provides high initial stabilization;
due to the special shape of the rod, the chewing load is distributed evenly;
some models of implants can be installed immediately after tooth extraction;
implantation is possible with any volume of the alveolar process;
During installation, a unique drilling technique is used, which can reduce bone loss by up to 40%.

The sterility of structures is checked using the membrane filter method.

M.I.S.

The manufacturer has been operating since 1995. It is its materials that Israeli patients prefer to AlfaBio products. The titanium alloy in MIS dental roots is the same in composition, but contains fewer impurities. That is, the dentures take root better. In 2021, the company presented the phosphorus-containing “B+” surface. With it, implants take root in the bone in a maximum of 3 months.

Models of artificial dental roots from MIS:

The V3 is the company's top of the line, with a triangular neck. Significantly reduces pressure on the bone. Provides aesthetics and reduces tissue atrophy.
Seven - suitable for immediate implantation and insertion of a full-fledged prosthesis with 4 roots. Self-tapping universal.
C1 - cone-shaped. Available with clearly visible carvings. Maintains stability in soft bone tissue.
M4 is a self-tapping Israeli implant in the shape of a cylinder. Reduces tension in bones.
Mini implants are implanted into a small bone.

Installation Methods

Classic two-stage implantation involves two surgical stages. At the first stage, a titanium root is inserted into the jaw bone, covered with a temporary plug, and the mucous membrane is tightly sutured. After 4-6 months, the plug is removed and a gum former is installed through repeated dissection of the mucosa. After 2 weeks, when the gum contour has formed, an abutment and an artificial crown are placed.
Single-stage with immediate loading involves one surgical intervention: the implant and temporary crown are installed in one stage. The method uses non-demountable structures. No sutures are required on the gum; the contour is formed during healing. Permanent prosthetics are carried out after 4-6 months.
One-stage involves the installation of a titanium root immediately after tooth extraction. The fastest way to restore teeth, which is called “express implantation”.
Implantation according to the “All-on-4” and “All-on-6” protocols is indicated for complete edentia. 4 or 6 rods are installed on the toothless jaw, which will serve as support for a complete fixed denture. The “All on 6” technology is more preferable, as it provides reliable fixation and uniform distribution of the chewing load.

How do they differ from manufacturers in other countries?

The better Swiss implants

In terms of technical characteristics, Israeli dental systems are slightly inferior to Swiss Nobel Biocare and Straumann. The service life of structures from Israel and Switzerland is almost the same, but premium systems are covered by an unlimited lifetime warranty, which is a big plus. Israeli designs do not have such a variety of superstructures for different prosthetic options that Swiss manufacturers offer. However, good value for money is a justifiable reason to use Israeli implant systems.

How to choose between Israel and Korea

Patients trust Israeli medicine more than Asian medicine. Although implants manufactured in Israel and Korea have approximately the same functionality. Among Russian clinicians there are fans of both manufacturers, each promoting its own system.

Advantages of the systems

The main advantage of Israeli orthopedic systems over European ones is cost. For many patients and dentists, this is a determining factor.

The downside is less versatility compared to Western products and a lack of clinical trials.

Patient and dentist preferences

Based on the combination of quality characteristics and affordable cost, AlfaBio and MIS are recognized as the best among Israeli systems. There are many positive reviews on the Internet about these systems.

Most dentists are of the opinion that the quality of installation is influenced not by the manufacturer of the system, but by the qualifications of the doctor.

Advantages of dental implantation in Israel

Many of our compatriots prefer to have their teeth restored in Israel, for a number of reasons:

high level of development of medicine;
modern equipment, professionalism of specialists;
Israeli clinics have all models of implants from local manufacturers, which are difficult to find in Russia;
reasonable prices for treatment, which are significantly lower than in European countries;
no language barrier;
no need to apply for a visa;
operation of consumer protection laws.

Iterum

In Russia, the products of this manufacturer are little known. But in Israel there is a high demand for it. Dental implants from this Israeli brand are made from 100% titanium. Their rough surface is patented and based on SLA. It is characterized by high porosity and purity, obtained through a special treatment that is carried out after acid treatment. Iterum roots take root within 3 months and are not inferior in quality to premium ones. The brand's line includes cone-shaped implants and Implant Standart KIT, ultra-short Short Coniform Implant KIT and standard Coniform Implant KIT.

Application of advanced technologies

Innovative developments of Israeli companies:

The medical company NOVA uses low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma to accelerate tissue regeneration and prevent postoperative complications. The bactericidal wound-healing properties of plasma were identified a long time ago, but use in medicine became possible after the development of generators that produce ionized gas at a temperature of 30-40 °C. Due to the newly introduced technology, the process of osseointegration of the structure with the bone proceeds twice as fast.
The Israeli corporation Bonus Biogroup, in collaboration with the Technion research institute, has developed its own method for creating bone tissue from stem cells obtained from a patient’s adipose tissue. Israeli scientists have already conducted successful tests on animals. The technology will make it possible to produce dental implants from material grown from one’s own cells. They will have a molecular composition identical to other teeth, which will ensure rapid healing.
Magdent Ltd has introduced a new technology for tissue repair using electromagnetic waves using the MED device . A miniature platform is built into the abutment, which creates electromagnetic fields in the bone socket around the implant. Such stimulation accelerates bone synthesis, eliminates the development of infection and peri-implantitis.

Osstem implants

Osstem Implant (South Korea) has been developing and manufacturing implants and dental equipment since 1992. In the global market, Osstem Implant products occupy the top levels of ratings due to the high quality of products and their constant improvement. In addition, Osstem implants are of premium quality, but the manufacturer has set an affordable price for its products, which allows patients with low incomes to receive quality treatment.

The Osstem TS line refers to implants developed on the basis of Straumann.
