Implant systems that offer safety

Studies and scientific assessments help in choosing a suitable implant system.

More than 900,000 implants were placed in Germany in 2016. There are over 100 different implant systems on the market, and not every one of them is fully ready for everyday practice.

Anyone who is mobile and travels a good deal for work or pleasure should be able to rely on finding help abroad if the need arises. Only implant manufacturers working internationally or globally can offer that security. With very small systems, problems can arise even within Germany: special tools and a working set of instruments are missing, components are not in stock, or no dentist familiar with the implant system can be found.

Prosthetic components and abutments also have to remain available for years after a model change. Experience has shown that implant systems that looked promising and innovative at first sight were not always able to establish themselves on the market.

Frequently asked questions

How many implant systems are there altogether?

There are more than a hundred different implant systems on the market, and not every one of them is fully ready for practical use. More than 900,000 implants were placed in Germany in 2016. Studies and scientific assessments help in choosing a suitable system.

Does it matter which manufacturer my implant comes from?

Yes, because only internationally active manufacturers can also ensure help abroad. That is important for people who travel a lot for work or privately. With very small systems there can be problems even within Germany if matching tools and components are missing or no dentist familiar with the system can be found.

Will I still get matching spare parts for my implant many years from now?

With established systems, prosthetic components and abutments have to remain available for years even after a change of model. Practice has shown, however, that some systems that looked promising at first did not establish themselves on the market. Before treatment it is therefore worth looking at how durable the chosen system is.
