Hello,

I am Lee Ju-ri, the chief director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

These days, if you just do a little searching, information about implants is endless.

Because of that, patients’ questions are also at a very high level.

Recently, people have even been asking about implant grades.

The higher the grade, the better, and many factors are important in an implant,

but the biggest factor that determines an implant’s lifespan is something else.

It is the implant placement position, the path.

Today, I’ll talk about what implant path is,

a very useful digital implant method for achieving the right angle.

1. What is implant path?
2. Digital implants for a good path

What is implant path?

For those considering implants, there is a question that comes up most often.

What brand is good? What about implant grade? Do you use autograft here? Or synthetic bone?

Just from the questions alone, you can tell they have done a lot of research.

Each question is sharp.

But...

I would like to explain the answer to all of these questions by comparing it to an apartment.

Just as an apartment has lasting value when its location is good, with implants, where and how they are placed is what matters most.

That means the path has to be good for it to be used for a long time.

It is a term we use among ourselves.

path

It is the path through which the implant goes into the bone.

Just as a car can speed up and drive properly only when the road is straight and well made,

an implant can bear force and last longer only when its path is straight.

If an implant is placed at an angle,

the prosthesis cannot be made beautifully either, right???

Because of that, problems such as the prosthesis coming off often,

screws loosening,

after all, inflammation occurring frequently,

and other secondary issues can happen.

  1. Digital implants for a good path

That is why it has to be placed correctly from the start.

Even with apartments, location matters most.

If the location is not good, even if the brand is excellent,

it will remain unsold.

Implants, too, need the position to be set well from the first surgery,

and one of the methods used is navigation implants.

An article worth reading together
What are navigation implants??

Navigation implants perform surgery following a path predesigned by a computer.

Take a CT scan of the bone condition, design the implant site on a computer, make a guide (template), and perform the surgery as planned

So instead of placing it by eye, the implant is inserted along an accurate path.

Frequently asked Q&A

Hold on a moment here...

One of the questions many people ask is:

Can’t you just place it in the empty space??

It may seem like you can just place it anywhere in the empty space,

but when we eat, the upper and lower teeth need to fit together precisely for force to be transmitted properly.

If an implant is placed without considering the bite (the way the upper and lower teeth fit together),

there can be the unfortunate situation where the upper and lower teeth do not meet.

Isn’t it supposed to be placed in a straight line??

This is another question we hear often.

Ironically... implants should follow a curve, not a straight line.

If you look at a panoramic X-ray,

it looks as if the tooth roots are standing in a straight line side by side.

But in reality, our teeth form a curved arch.

In other words, you should not simply look at the bone and place it straight down;

you need to set the angle to match the curve of the teeth so that the bite aligns and force is distributed evenly.

Even when placing just one implant, it is by no means easy...

The reason you should use navigation implants

Now you can see why, right???

Implant guide surgery is the key factor that determines success. image 8 250925 Matching the upper and lower teeth well is what makes them last.

You can set the position accurately,

the surgery finishes faster,

and because unnecessary incisions are avoided,

recovery is faster too,

and the success rate of implant surgery increases.

Rather than simply placing an implant,

planning it so that it can be used strongly and for a long time is the priority.

If you are considering implants, consultations are always welcome.

You can listen to several opinions before making your decision, so there is no need to rush.

This has been Lee Ju-ri, chief director.

Thank you.
