Impro ICX Semados Ankylos Xive
Russian patients like implants from Germany for their long service life. Many of them come with a lifetime warranty. Product quality is confirmed by certificates of the European Union and the ISO 13485 quality system for medical products.
Implantologists appreciate them because the system can be selected for any clinical case. In addition, all implantation protocols are carefully worked out, which reduces complications to a minimum.
Among the countries that produce implants, Germany occupies one of the leading places, primarily because manufacturers rely on a strong scientific base. Scientists are developing new types of surfaces, threads, and shapes of implants to increase the survival rate and accelerate osseointegration. Reputable medical journals regularly publish research data that confirms a high percentage of successful engraftment.
There are several types of German implants on the Russian dental services market.
Advantages and nuances of the most popular German dental implants
German implants are a mark of quality among all implantation systems. They appeared on the dental market around the 1980s. Currently, Germany is among the TOP 3 countries leading in terms of the production of high-quality implantation systems.
We have identified 5 main competitive advantages of German dental implants:
- Optimal price-quality ratio. According to their characteristics, which experts evaluate during operation, implants made in Germany are close to premium category analogues, while costing at least 30% less;
- Versatility. German brands produce a wide range of dental implants for restoring teeth, even in the most complex clinical cases;
- Wide variability in prosthetics. If a dentist deals with implants from Germany, the result of implantation will exceed all expectations;
- Dental systems have ideal design features: root-shaped, sharpened threads, there are options with larger threads, which is important for patients with loose bone tissue;
- The survival rate is about 99%. German dental implants demonstrate truly impressive statistics of successful adaptation in the oral cavity.
It is important! German dental implants are close to the so-called “top” systems. If we compare them with their Israeli counterparts, the latter are more budget options, but they have less guarantee of survival. Although in both groups there are both worthy options and systems with certain nuances. The choice should be made solely on the basis of consultation with a dentist.
Ankylos
Back in 1985, Ankylosis implants made a small revolution in implantology. The abutment (base for the crown) and the implant itself were inserted into each other, forming a single system. This design has no gaps, which means pathogenic microbes cannot penetrate inside. The main idea remained the brand’s calling card, but was supplemented by new developments - the TissueCare concept.
Ankylos manufacturers decided to pay special attention to soft fabrics. All innovations are aimed at ensuring that implantation stimulates them to grow:
- The post design combined with the concave abutment provides ideal space for bone and soft tissue growth and preservation
. - The surface that has been sandblasted and acid etched increases the adhesion area. This accelerates osseointegration
. - Special thread facilitates installation
and
maintains alveolar ridge height
/
The survival rate of German Ankylos dental implants is 97%
[3] 5 years after installation.
to the cons
The brand's products include the need for special training, relatively high cost, as well as model limitations in the combination of length and diameter. for example, an implant with the largest diameter of 7mm does not have a model longer than 14mm. This somewhat limits installation options.
German implants from the ICX brand
ICX is a famous brand that comes from Germany. The German company Medentis Medical GmbH, which has been successfully operating on the market for more than twenty years, produces implants under this brand. The company is famous for its technological developments, which are tested in its own Medentis laboratory.
Why do they love German ICX implants from Germany?
- The brand has a fairly well-thought-out series of implants that help restore teeth even in the most difficult clinical situations. The length of the implants is from 0.65 to 1.5 cm, and the diameter of the trunk is from 0.29 to 0.48 cm;
- German ICX dental implants are based on a high-quality titanium alloy, which has a hydrophilic SLA surface;
- ICX implants demonstrate increased stability in bone. Provided that all implantation requirements are met, there is virtually no risk of rejection;
- A well-thought-out abutment design, due to which the implant demonstrates a stable position in the bone;
- It is possible to select ICX implants from the line for classical and simultaneous implantation.
The estimated cost of ICX implants from Germany is 34,500 rubles per unit. The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty for ICX implants.

Dental implants Xive Friadent (Germany – USA)
Xive implants have recently been considered American, since the exclusive right to the brand was purchased by the Dentplay concern from the USA. But we will still highlight this group of implants, since in most protocols they are indicated as German.
The Xive Friadent brand was born in Germany in the early 1990s. The brand has gained popularity all over the world thanks to the unique connection between the implant and the abutment. Closer to 2000, Xive Friadent produced S implants, designed for simultaneous loading with a prosthesis as part of express implantation. In 2010, a system of screw fixation on an implant at any selected angle appeared in Germany, which also provoked a real breakthrough in dentistry.
5 important features of German implants Xive Friadent (Germany):
- Unique design. Thanks to the thoughtful shape of the implant and thread, reliable stability in the bone is ensured;
- Solving problems even in the most advanced cases. Xive Friadent implants take root in patients with loose bone tissue or its acute deficiency. They are allowed to be given to people with osteoporosis and diabetes;
- Proven quality. Xive Friadent implants are in demand in Germany, Russia and all over the world. The material used is pure titanium alloy.
- There are no gaps between the implant and abutment.
- There are virtually no risks of rejection, but the manufacturer provides a 10-year warranty on most implants.
Xive
German Xive dental implants have a high level of survival rate
[4] in its product class. The special thread design provides primary stability even with significant bone loss.
Advantages:
- Can be used for any type of prosthetics
. Single pins, bridges or a full jaw – any type of orthopedic treatment is available. - Suitable for immediate implantation
. Implantation into the socket of an extracted tooth prevents bone loss and allows you to immediately use temporary dentures. - Maintains gum contour
. The smooth neck of the implant and the special design of the abutment give the gum a natural appearance.
The thread on the pin becomes denser in the cortical part. This guarantees optimal stability. Varieties of abutments help you choose the right one for temporary and permanent crowns.
The disadvantages of the system include the fact that it is not so well known in the regions. In the outback it is difficult to find a dentistry that offers the installation of implants of this brand.
German implants Semados (Semados)
Implantation systems of the Semados brand are produced by almost the same name (Germany). These implants have a number of differences from analogues of other brands:
- made of class IV titanium, that is, a material of increased quality with an improved degree of purification. For comparison, many Swiss luxury implants are made of exactly this material;
- Implants have an increased area of contact with bone tissue, due to which it is firmly held in the bone;
- manufacturer Semados produces a range of implants for any clinical case;
- The German brand provides a 20-year guarantee on implants;
- in some series of implants, the cervical area of the implant is polished, which significantly reduces the level of injury during implantation;
- Semados implants can be safely placed in the smile area, as they are firmly embedded in the bone and will not be visible through the gums. It is possible to select the optimal implant for patients with anatomically thin gums.
3 popular lines of Semados implants:
- Mini are small implants that are used for dental implantation in patients with narrow jaws. Relevant for implantation in clients with complete absence of teeth - then several of these mini implants are screwed into the jaw, on which a prosthetic system is placed on top;
- Universal S – classic German implants, which are used by dentists to implement the classic two-stage implantation procedure;
- RI Semados are implants made in Germany, which are suitable for implantation in patients with obvious bone tissue atrophy, in the most complex clinical cases. Such implants are made in the shape of cones and also have large threads, which allows them to stand stably in the jaw. These German implants are relevant for express implantation.
The estimated cost of the Semados implant is 34,500 rubles per piece. Additionally, prosthetic construction and bone grafting (if the patient needs it) are paid for.
Types of implants
The German company has developed several types of implants, each of which has its own characteristics and indications for installation.
- Transgingival. The neck of the system has special longitudinal gaps and volumetric dimensions, which allows for excellent stabilization even under high chewing loads. It is used for implantation into the area of chewing teeth: molars, premolars. The implant is introduced using a puncture, which minimizes the risk of soft tissue injury.
- Mini implants. They are small in size and have a short neck. Thanks to this, they can be implanted when there is insufficient bone tissue, and an abutment with a crown can be immediately installed on the system.
- Submersible with micro thread. The diameter is 3.6–7.0 mm. Thanks to the shortened neck, there is no gap between the crown and the metal base. This type is suitable for restoration of the anterior row of teeth and premolars.
- Double thread implants. The thread of such designs has a unique structure. This makes it possible to implant products in difficult cases, for example, with insufficiency of bone tissue. Installation is carried out both in the molar area and on the front teeth.
Expert opinion: is it worth installing German implants?
If you want to restore a tooth at an affordable price, implants from manufacturers from Germany are the best option. Dentists from leading Moscow clinics, including dental implantologists, work with such implant systems. Reviews about German implants speak for themselves - people have their smile restored in the absence of teeth, a clear deficiency of hard bone tissue in the jaw, and poor survival rate of the most expensive implants. German implants that have proven their superiority take root really well in the shortest possible time.
Is it profitable to install German implants? Of course yes! Even if there are no teeth, professional implantation using German systems will cost less than a cup of coffee every day. Just do these simple calculations and see for yourself.
A specialist from the Zuub clinic will help you choose a specific implantation system. There are solutions for any clinical case. Trust the professionals who will help you go from missing a tooth to a beautiful, healthy and full smile!
Israeli implants: pros and cons
Israeli implantation systems were once quite popular due to their low cost, but now doctors prefer other manufacturers. The reason is not only that Israeli systems are not suitable for many clinical cases, thereby limiting the capabilities of the implant surgeon, but also in the quality of the implants themselves. An example is the presence of aluminum and vanadium in the alloy, which reduce biocompatibility. In addition, other manufacturers use more modern technologies, for example, they impregnate the surface of implants with a nano-layer of calcium phosphate, fluorine, etc. for accelerated engraftment, which Israeli colleagues cannot boast of.
Types of implants
The implants differ from each other:
- shape;
- material;
- external surface treatment;
- thread type;
- connection to the abutment;
- manufacturer's warranty.
Evaluation of these parameters and the benefit of each characteristic directly for the patient allows us to formulate ratings of dental implants and divide them into groups.
Traditional ranking of implantation systems:
- The premium segment is products with the highest survival rates and high cost, aimed at solving the patient’s clinical problems. Products of Swiss and USA companies.
- Business class - good quality indicators, moderate affordable price. Producing countries: Germany, Sweden, USA, Israel.
- Economy level - inexpensive implants for simple dental prosthetics in the absence of pathologies. The group includes products without any design features, manufactured in South Korea, Russia, Belarus, and Israel.
Since in each country there are companies producing dental implants of different quality levels, when choosing a product they take into account not geographical location, but a set of characteristics.
Budget implants for high-quality prosthetics
Among economy-class implantation systems, the most successful and popular models are considered to be the following brands:
- Dentium is a brand from South Korea with root-shaped implants. The products are characterized by simple and easy installation with minimized injuries. Developed based on Swedish Astra Tech designs. They are characterized by rapid engraftment at the level of 97%.
- MIS – products made in Israel. The pins are made of pure titanium in the form of a screw design with spiral channels and a non-standard thread pitch. Treatment of the implant surface with acid and sandblasting creates a roughness that increases the density of fixation and accelerates the integration of the artificial root into the bone tissue structure.
It remains to add that the choice of implant depends on the specific clinical situation, the condition of the bone tissue, the individual characteristics of the patient and other factors. Therefore, only a specialist in the clinic can choose it correctly.
Indications for implant installation
Implantation is recommended for patients in the following cases:
- Missing or damaged individual teeth. Prosthetics include implantation of an artificial root and installation of a crown.
- Missing several teeth or complete edentia (toothlessness). Implantation protocols restore chewing function and restore the aesthetics of a smile.
- Negative experience of wearing removable dentures. Physiological problems or allergic reactions requiring permanent implant prosthetics.
