Why Strategic Implant®?
1. Utilization of the patient’s own bone substance
- Avoidance of augmentation procedures unless really needed for aesthetic reasons
- Avoidance of additional surgical risks
- Cost and time savings
Cost saving is only one consideration. It is certainly an advantage to be able to save one-third of the overall treatment costs by avoiding bone augmentation procedures. They are today unnecessary for the treatment concept with the Strategic Implant®. But what is much more important for many patients is that the Strategic Implant® allows to get the treatment option which patients really want.
2. Immediate / early loading
- Avoidance of interim dentures and provisionals
- No reentry/implant exposure surgery
3. Very little external material
- BasaI implants displace up to 60% less bone substance than comparable screw implants
- Bone integrity and perfusion are barely impaired by basal implants
4. Immediate implant placement after extensive tooth extractions
- Immediate implantation is possible even in cases with periodontal involvement (cleaning, perio treatment and implant placement in a single step)
- Considerable time savings can be realized and risks are reduced
- The cost/benefits ratio is excellent
5. Favourable distribution of biomechanical loads
- Masticatory loads are distributed only to the cortical regions
- The cortical regions are more resistant to resorption and stronger and also regenerate more quickly
- Enossal force transmission occurs far away from the site of bacterial invasion
- Immediate loading is possible thanks to bicortical support and immediate prosthodontic splinting
6. Few complications during the surgical phase
- Strategic Implant® are very resistant to preoperative or intra-operative infection – and our patients are not subject to excessive oral hygiene requirements. Therefore, the Strategic Implant® may be used in patients, who have difficulties to perform regular cleaning efforts
- Even heavy smokers are eligible for treatment
7. Pleasing the surgical and restorative members of the team
- The Strategic Implant® allows dentists to treat even difficult cases in their own office
- Thanks the Strategic Implant® returns these cases to the skilled implantologist: hospital stays, bone transplants (in as much as their only purpose is to create a suitable implant bed for screw implants) and many other unnecessary steps are not necessary
Still unconvinced after all these arguments? Just take a look at this patient case, and you will see that a screw implants would have been impossible to place.
Pre-op
Minimal bone supply in the mandible; inflammation and hopeless teeth in the anterior region. This patient didn’t find a treatment provider who would even dream of handling this situation.
