AB Dental implants: what they are and when they are used in dentistry

Israeli AbDental implants are manufactured by ABDental Devices. The products are presented in a wide range, are of high quality, reliable, and can be used in difficult situations. The rods are necessarily sterilized and treated with gamma radiation, which makes them safe. For testing at the factory, a membrane filtration method is used, which guarantees maximum cleanliness of the rods. In addition, the line of implants for immediate installation already has a built-in abutment and a specially treated surface. This reduces the time it takes to insert the rod into the surrounding tissue and increases stability.

Features and characteristics, types of products

ABDental Devices products are manufactured using modern technologies and highly purified materials. This allows the use of implants in the following cases:

• in the absence of one tooth or multiple adentia;
• for screwing rods at an angle;
• for zygomatic implantation;
• when using All-on-4 or All-on-6 protocols.

The model range includes several lines and the following types of implants:

• short rods for installation in completely edentulous upper jaw;
• with sharp, deep threads for stability when seated in soft bone;
• rods of small thickness for solving complex, highly specialized problems;
• extra-long artificial roots with screw thread;
• conical products for a two-stage protocol;
• special integral with a conical abutment for a one-stage protocol.

The main lines of the manufacturer are:

1. Series I2. Cylindrical shaped products suitable for dense bone tissue. The surface is treated to increase stability and improve integration properties.
2. The I22 features a tapered design, suitable for all protocols and tissue types, with larger thread sizes for improved stability. This type of product can be used after a sinus lift.
3. I5 – self-tapping conical implants with a hexagonal internal part. They have grooves to seal fabrics, which reduces pressure and does not require pressure when screwing.
4. I55 - conical products with double thread for installation in bone tissue of different densities. They are characterized by an increased contact area and reduced implementation time. Recommended for single-stage protocol.
5. I10 is a series of trapezoidal implants with a special biocompatible coating. Reduces the risk of destruction of natural bone; if necessary, the direction can be changed during screwing. There is no tissue damage or microcracks.
6. I10C is the second type of trapezoidal implant, characterized by a conical connection for the abutment. It has increased strength and has a double thread.
7. I6/16B – model with built-in abutment, recommended for single-stage scheme with instantaneous loading.
8. I7 – ruler with a conical abutment, used for insertion into dense bone for simultaneous fixation.

Alpha Bio implants: reviews

On Alpha bio implants – reviews from implantologists are in most cases positive, but this should not mislead you.
This economical option is offered to patients with a limited budget, and so that the patient does not refuse implantation at all, he is not told about some of the disadvantages of this option. Of course, if we are talking about implantation in the area of ​​the front tooth (in an area with a lack of bone volume), then it is best to choose the more expensive Straumann, Nobel-Biocare or Astra implants. And if you also have a gummy type of smile (the gums are exposed when you smile), this is generally critically important. But if implants from these manufacturers are too expensive for you, there are 2 more alternatives. For example, the Israeli company MIS also has 3 implant options with an ultra-hydrophilic surface. Another economical option may be to install the TS-III CA implant from the Korean company Osstem (this implant also has a modern surface with increased hydrophilicity), but it is best used only on the upper jaw.

But as for the implants themselves, its best products are the NEO and SPI model implants. Below we will give several examples of the use of implants of this brand in practice...

1) Clinical case – absence of 4-5 teeth. A one-stage implantation technique was performed using 1 AlphaBio implant. Based on the implant and the patient’s own 6th tooth, a metal-ceramic bridge of three crowns was installed (note that a slight cyanosis of the gums around the crown on the implant is immediately visible).

2) Clinical case - with a complete absence of teeth in the upper jaw, 6 AlfaBio implants were implanted (two-stage implantation technique), onto which a permanent metal-ceramic bridge prosthesis was fixed after 6 months.

3) Clinical case – absence of a central incisor in the upper jaw. A two-stage implantation technique was performed, complicated by a lack of bone tissue in the area of ​​the missing tooth. In parallel with the installation of the implant, bone augmentation was carried out using bone material and a bioresorbable membrane.

Commentary on this clinical case - let's look carefully at Fig. 22... despite the bone grafting performed, we see that the alveolar process in the area of ​​​​the installed implant has a large concavity. Those. the increase in bone volume occurred in insufficient volume, and here the anterior bone wall will be clearly thinner than 2 mm. Of course, this will lead to bone tissue atrophy on the front surface of the implant, gum recession, and poor aesthetics.

In principle, in Fig. 23-24 we already see that the volume of the gingival papillae is insufficient, and due to this, the interdental spaces look like dark spots (dips). Over time, this problem will only worsen and the aesthetics will become completely unacceptable. That’s why we say that Alpha-Bio implants are not a very good option in the area of ​​the front teeth (especially if there is insufficient bone volume).

Summary:

If the protocol for the surgical stage of implantation is followed, the survival rate of Alpha Bio implants is about 96% when implanted in the upper jaw and about 98% when implanted in the lower jaw. These are good indicators, but not the best. Again, for market leading companies these figures are still 1-1.5% higher. However, as we said above, implant survival is not the only indicator that you need to pay attention to.

For example, the main reason for negative reviews of implants is the increasing deterioration of aesthetics in the gingival zone. This is due to the natural gradual atrophy of the bone around the implant neck, which can reach up to 1.5 mm only during the first 1.5 years. A decrease in the bone level leads to the fact that the neck of the implant remains covered only by the mucous membrane, which leads to the appearance of sharp blueness of the gums around the implant, as well as a decrease in the level of gingival papillae. Therefore, a very important criterion when choosing an implant in the aesthetic zone is the amount of bone atrophy during the first 5 years.

And clinical studies and the experience of implantologists can give us an idea of ​​this. When implanting in the aesthetic zone (in the area of ​​the front teeth), I would give preference primarily to AstraTech and Straumann implants, because these implants have the lowest rate of bone atrophy. As for the implantation technique with immediate or early loading, when prosthetics are carried out immediately or within several weeks after implantation, then it is also advisable to choose the above implants (but if the budget does not allow, then at least MIS or Osstem).

Advantages and disadvantages

AB Dental products have the following advantages:

• several lines to solve various problems, including complex clinical cases;
• use of safe materials that do not cause allergic reactions;
• improved bone integration rates;
• the presence of double threads to increase stability when screwing in;
• ring for the strength of the connection between the artificial rod and the bone;
• cross-shaped carving to restore the beautiful edge and natural shape of the alveolar ridge;
• double platform for using different abutments;
• biological compatibility, rapid healing;
• can be installed in bone at any density level;
• correct distribution of loads.

The only downside is the higher cost, but this is fully justified by the reliability and quality of the product. In addition, the use of AB Dental implants is allowed in the following cases:

• complete edentia;
• increased level of tissue sensitivity to materials used for implantation;
• diabetes at any stage, compensated hypertension;
• inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.

When fixing products from the Israeli brand, entire units are preserved as much as possible; grinding or removal of adjacent teeth is not necessary. In addition, the use of such rods makes it possible to solve issues of displacement of other row units, bone atrophy, and bite pathologies.

Stages

To implement the AbDentalDevices implant, the following steps must be followed:

• initial inspection, preparation, cleaning or sanitation if necessary;
• administration of local anesthesia;
• making an incision in the mucosa, forming a bed for installing an implant;
• screwing in the rod, suturing;
• providing the Patient with recommendations for wound care.

The procedure may vary depending on the chosen treatment protocol. With single-stage implantation, after screwing in the artificial root, a temporary prosthesis is immediately attached. This is done in order to maintain aesthetics and correct load on the tissue.

Prices, guarantees, service life

The cost depends on a number of factors:

• condition of the oral cavity;
• the need for additional treatment, office cleaning;
• the number of missing units to be restored;
• selected type of implant structure;
• difficulty of installation, need for bone grafting;
• type of prosthesis, number of artificial teeth.

On average, prices for one implant including screwing start from 36 thousand rubles. At the same time, installation of a gum former costs an additional 4 thousand rubles, an abutment costs 8 thousand and more. The cost of crowns depends on the material and type, but most often they choose classic metal-ceramic or metal-free models for the frontal area.

The warranty period for fixing the artificial root is three years, but the warranty on the structure itself is lifetime, meaning replacement is not required. The manufacturer allows the use of various treatment protocols, including those with simultaneous loading. Complete osseointegration may take four to six months; with a two-stage protocol, the prosthesis is placed on average after six months.
