Comparison of dental implants and CAD/CAM systems in Russia and Turkey
Dental implants have become a real breakthrough in modern dentistry, giving patients the opportunity to restore lost teeth with maximum aesthetics and functionality. Russia and Turkey are actively developing this trend, offering a wide range of implant systems from leading manufacturers such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Zimmer Biomet. CAD/CAM technology contributes to the improvement of the implantation process, allowing for the creation of customised solutions for each patient.
Dental Implants Market Overview in Russia and Turkey
The dental implant market in Russia and Turkey is growing rapidly, offering patients a wide range of quality solutions to restore lost teeth.
Both countries are striving to make modern implant technology available to their citizens and tourists from all over the world.
Leading manufacturers in Russia and other manufacturers in the Russian market
The manufacturing of dental implants in Russia has been successful. There are two major domestic manufacturers on the market: Konmet and Rusimplant (also known as Liko, NIKO). Konmet has been developing and manufacturing implants for over twenty years, while Rusimplant offers affordable alternatives to the Swedish Astra implants.
The IRIS implants from Likostom deserve special attention. They are gaining popularity due to their high success rate of engraftment (over 90%) and a variety of models, including thin ones for mini-implantation and special ones for complex cases. These designs, manufactured in Italy using Russian technology, are certified according to the international standard ISO 9001-2000.
Alpha Bio: an Israeli manufacturer of implants that offers affordable prices and good quality products.
Ankylos: a German brand specialising in the production of implants for complex cases.
Xive: another German manufacturer that offers implants with a high degree of engraftment.
One of the best options are MIS implants, which are characterised by a high degree of engraftment, promote rapid bone regeneration and have special threads. In addition, these implants are characterised by a relatively low cost.
There are many dental clinics and specialists offering dental implant services in Russia, and one of the leading dental network clinics is INTAN.
Popular brands in Turkey
Dental tourism is quite developed in Turkey, and many tourists prefer to go to Turkish specialists for dental implants. Very popular with tourists is the ESTETICA hospital, where you can get a full range of dental services, including digital smile modelling (or as many incorrectly call it ‘Hollywood smile’).
Turkey also offers a wide range of implant systems from the world's leading manufacturers. Among the popular brands in the country are German Straumann, Nobel Biocare, BioHorizons, Astra Tech, Dentsply Sirona, Sirona, Zimmer Biomet, Osstem, Ankylos and CAMLOG. These manufacturers are known for their high quality and innovative technology. The BEGO brand of dental implants is not very popular. In the rating of dental implants, based on statistics in the United States and Europe, the products of this brand occupy a low position.
Let's consider the main brands used by Turkish dentists:
Straumann: one of the most famous and reliable brands of dental implants. It produces high-quality products that are characterised by strength and durability.
Nobel Biocare: is also a leader in the field of implantology. Offers a wide range of implants, including customised solutions for each patient.
Hiossen (Osstem Implant): a South Korean implant manufacturer that offers affordable prices and high quality products.
Prices for dental implants in Turkey vary depending on the brand and clinic. For example, the installation of one Nobel Biocare implant can cost from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.
Turkish clinics, such as WestDent in Izmir, Hair and ESTETICA clinics in Istanbul, actively use implants of the world's leading brands, ensuring a high success rate of procedures. For example, at ESTETICA, the success rate of implants and crowns reaches 99%.
Price Comparison
Prices for dental implants in Russia and Turkey vary depending on the brand and quality. In Russia, the cost of Conmet implants starts at 17,000 rubles, while the prices of IRIS and Rusimplant implants start at 6,000 rubles.
In Turkey, implant prices can be more affordable, especially in large cities such as Istanbul. However, the cost depends on the material chosen, the number of implants required and additional procedures.
It is important to note that price is not always an indicator of quality. Both in Russia and in Turkey it is possible to find high quality implants at a reasonable price. When choosing an implant, you should consider not only the cost, but also the reputation of the manufacturer, the quality of the materials and the long-term results.
BIOHACTOUR offer tourists to use the WME system at www.bıohactour.com and combine holiday with treatment. For tourists, Turkish clinics use a minimum number of days in hospital, further (usually 3-8 days) the patient needs to come to the hospital for examination or procedures. Therefore, the tourist has plenty of time to tour Istanbul and then Turkey.
Comparison of implant manufacturing techniques
Traditional methods
The traditional dental implant manufacturing process begins with the careful selection of material that meets strict medical standards. In specialised factories, the material, usually in the form of bars, is processed using special machines and software. This allows the implants to be shaped and sized to match the artificial tooth roots.
An important stage of production is the mandatory quality control. The implants are checked for exact compliance with the dimensions, reliability of the threads and absence of defects. They are then sandblasted and treated with special chemical solutions to create a complex surface texture that promotes better interaction with the bone tissue.
Computer programs for 3D visualisation and CAD/CAM technology
The most popular 3D visualisation computer programs used by dentists in Turkey are: 3ds Max, Vray, Corona Render, Blender, Lumion, Twinmotion, Unreal Engine.
Digital Smile Design (DSD) in Turkey is a modern approach to creating aesthetically pleasing, thoughtful and healthy smiles. ESTETHICA Hospital has a professional approach to designing and creating a beautiful and harmonious smile.
DSD is a dental technology that uses digital tools to plan treatments and create virtual models of patients' smiles. The process begins with a consultation, followed by digital images and scans of the teeth, after which a 3D model of the smile is created. The model is then adjusted based on the patient's wishes and features. At the end, a presentation of the result is made and changes are made if necessary.
DSD helps patients see the future result and gives dentists the opportunity to suggest the most appropriate smile design.
Patients often talk about the Hollywood smile and ask for a Hollywood smile.
A Hollywood smile is a term that describes a perfectly straight and neat set of teeth. These smiles take into account the shape of the face, the bite and the wishes of the patient, because a Hollywood smile is not for everyone. DSD helps patients, as well as doctors, to plan the necessary treatment and the form of choice, size and colour of future teeth. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to create a beautiful smile that is not necessarily identical to a Hollywood smile.
In Russia, dentists use Simplant software from Dentsply to plan the implantation process. This software was developed more than 20 years ago and is compatible with hundreds of brands and tens of thousands of implants.
The same software, Digital Smile Design (DSD), is used to create digital smiles in Russian dentistry. This programme was developed by French dental technician Christian Coachman in 2007 and has become popular among dentists all over the world.
The CEREC CAD/CAM (Computer Assisted Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) programme is a computer-aided diagnostic and fabrication system for dental prostheses developed by Sirona Dental Systems.
It includes the following components:
CAD-system (Computer Aided Design System)-creating a three-dimensional model of the dentition in a customised manner.
CAM system (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) - production of prostheses on the basis of the model using milling technology. This technology makes it possible to process high-strength materials and produce high-quality prosthetic structures with high aesthetic characteristics.
The CAD/CAM manufacturing process is considerably faster than the classical method. Computer-aided modelling replaces traditional wax modelling and ensures higher accuracy: deviations of only 15-20 µm are possible, whereas with manual work they reach 50-70 µm.
Advantages of CAD/CAM systems
High accuracy: CAD/CAM provides extremely accurate and predictable fits with tolerances of less than 10 µm.
Speed: The production of a design is significantly faster than with classical methods.
Strength and durability: Low probability of breakage and premature overloading of the prosthesis.
Versatility: The technology can be used with a variety of materials, including cobalt-chromium alloy, zirconium dioxide, ceramics and composites.
Personalised approach: Computerised scanning allows for the precise calculation of the angle of each tooth and the programming of the ideal design for each individual case.
Visualisation of the result: The patient can see their future dentures on the screen and adjust the final result if necessary.
Quality and durability of implants
Materials of manufacture
Modern dental implants are made of two grades of medical grade titanium: Grade 4 and Grade 5. Grade 4 consists of 99% titanium and 1% iron and is highly resistant to corrosion and biocompatible. Grade 5 contains 90% titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium, which increases the strength of the alloy but slightly slows down the osseointegration process.
The coating of the implants also affects their quality and durability. There are several types of surfaces:
RBM - rough surface obtained by sandblasting.
SLA - sandblasted and acid etched surface.
OsseoSpeed/SLActive/TiUnite - patented surfaces of premium brands with additional coating with active components.
Service life of Russian implants
The service life of dental implants in Russia depends on their category:
Economy-segment: 10 years warranty.
Standard segment: 20 years warranty.
Premium segment: warranty from 25 to 100 years (lifetime).
It is important to note that the warranty period differs from the actual life of the implant. With proper care and adherence to the doctor's recommendations, even implants with a minimum guarantee can serve much longer than the stated period.
Reliability of Turkish and Russian systems
Turkish clinics use implants from the world's leading brands, which ensures high quality and reliability.
Premium implants used in Turkey demonstrate a high rate of engraftment - 99.7%. This is achieved thanks to innovative technologies of treatment of the implants' body surface.
The overall implant engraftment rate, according to the WHO, is 96% on average. However, some manufacturers, such as Nobel Biocare or Straumann, claim a grafting rate of 99% and higher. This is achieved through the use of Grade 4 titanium, special threading and SLA coating.
The main difference between implants from different manufacturers is the use of different types of titanium. In Russia, technically pure titanium of VT 1-0 and VT 1-00 grades according to GOST 19807-91 is used for implants manufacturing. Foreign manufacturers use medical titanium of four grades (Grade 1-4 according to ASTM, ISO) and titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (according to ASTM, ISO), which is an analogue of Russian VT-6.
To ensure the longevity of implants, it is important to follow the rules of oral hygiene, avoid bad habits and regularly visit the dentist. With proper care and absence of trauma, implants can serve the patient throughout his or her life.
Conclusion
Dental implant technology in Russia and Turkey is actively developing, offering patients a wide range of quality solutions. The use of CAD/CAM systems has a revolutionary impact on the manufacturing process, ensuring high accuracy and speed of implant production. This leads to improved quality and durability of the structures, which ultimately has a positive impact on the health and comfort of patients.
Overall, the dental implant market in both countries is characterised by high competition and a desire for innovation. It is important to remember that the choice of implant should not only be based on price, but also on the manufacturer's reputation and long-term results. With proper care and regular follow-up with the dentist, modern implants can last a lifetime, ensuring the functionality and aesthetics of the smile.
