Osstem implants are the most inexpensive premium systems. The affordable price makes it widespread and extremely popular among patients and doctors. The implants are produced in South Korea and are made of titanium. Due to the use of pure material without foreign impurities, the risk of rejection is minimal. Excellent engraftment is also facilitated by a special coating - microporous, rough, with a structure as close as possible to bone tissue. The main distinguishing feature of Osstem roots is an open, fine thread, which reduces the risk of bone resorption and implant rejection.
The main advantages of Osstem implants
Implants are suitable for almost any clinical case, from single tooth replacement to complete edentulous prosthetics. For one-stage and classical implantation, with reduced bone density - in any situation you can choose a suitable implant from a South Korean company. A special anti-counterfeit system involves assigning each implant an individual serial number, which can be used to verify the authenticity of the root prosthesis.
The main advantages of implants include:
- Excellent survival rate.
- Hypoallergenic.
- Long service life.
- Minimum contraindications.
- Versatility.
Osstem implants appeared on the market in the early 90s. Since that time, the design of the systems has been constantly improved, the company is developing models that can be installed in cases of insufficient bone tissue and other factors that previously served as contraindications to implantation. Permanent dentures can be installed within 6-8 weeks after implant placement.
Warranty period
The manufacturer provides patients with a lifetime warranty on Adin implants in case of rejection by bone tissue. This does not apply to clinical cases, or if the situation occurred due to the fault of the doctor. The manufacturer provides a 10-year warranty on abutments.
The Budget Dentistry clinic also gives patients guarantees for the work of doctors that the operation to install Adin implants will take place safely and in strict accordance with the protocol, and healing will be under professional supervision. We recommend that you take good care of your oral cavity, so that your implants can last a lifetime.
Advantages of Osstem implants:
- The pin is the most important part of the prosthetic structure. He is responsible for its survival, strength and durability. It is made only from pure grade 4 titanium (G4Ti).
- The thread on the pin has the unique ability to self-tapping during installation of the structure. This is important for simultaneous implantation: thanks to this feature, primary stabilization is improved.
- The surface of the produced prostheses has 4 different types, which gives greater freedom to implantologists when choosing them according to the individual characteristics of the patient.
- A high degree of biocompatibility practically reduces to zero the risk of the structures being rejected by the patient’s body.
- Orthopedic structures are used even in situations where there is an abnormally narrow space between the teeth.
- Thanks to many years of clinical trials, the company's technologists have learned to create structures that distribute loads as evenly as possible during operation, which significantly increases their durability.
- Implants are installed in accordance with orthopedic and surgical protocols.
Thus, implantation with Osstem systems simultaneously solves a huge range of problems. It allows you to restore the functional load of the lost unit of the dentition, while much attention is paid to the aesthetic side. Dentures are easy to install and almost always take root. With proper care, both at home and professionally, their service life can exceed 20 years.
The only limitation of implantation noted by orthopedic professionals is the patient's bone density. Osstem designs are ideal for people with medium to low bone density and are not suitable for high density situations.
Types of Osstem implants
Several types of Osstem system implants are used:
- TS system. It is in first place in terms of installation frequency. A special feature is a corkscrew type thread, which has two turns running parallel to each other. The result is quick installation with self-tapping threads with minimal tissue trauma. The abutment fits tightly to the implant and has an internal hexagon.
- ET III SA system. These are two-component Osstem dental implants with a special thread. It also uses a self-cutting system with excellent tilt control during implantation. A distinctive feature is strong fixation immediately after installation; even with soft bone, the stability is excellent. There is a large selection of implants and abutments of different configurations.
- MS system. It is represented by one-piece one-component implants, that is, the root is initially one piece with the abutment. The peculiarity is the need for the most direct position of the root in the bone, that is, direction compensation is minimal. The crown can only be fixed with cement. Not suitable for difficult installation cases due to minimal possible direction deviation.

How turnkey Osstem implants are installed
When properly installed and engrafted, the implant has no service life limit, that is, it is installed for life. Depending on the characteristics of a particular patient, one of the installation protocols can be used:
- Two-stage implantation with delayed loading is a classic approach with healing periods.
- One-stage installation with immediate loading - the prosthesis is installed immediately after implantation (All-On-4 and All-On-6).
- Single-stage implantation.
Installation is possible with any inclination; there are model options for almost any clinical case.
Installation using the classic protocol takes place in several stages:
- Introduction of anesthesia.
- Gum incision.
- Preparing the bed for implantation.
- Root implantation.
- Suturing the wound and waiting for healing (from one and a half months until complete osseointegration).
- Anesthesia, soft tissue incision.
- Installation of abutment.
- Taking impressions, making a prosthesis.
- Installation of the finished prosthesis.
An option is also used without waiting for engraftment, that is, the crown is installed immediately after the implant is implanted. After implantation, it is necessary to carefully monitor the intervention area and follow all doctor’s recommendations and observe restrictions. If you experience any discomfort, mobility of the structure, or redness, you must come for an examination as soon as possible.
Description
The Osstem abutment is a specialized structural element of the implant.
It connects the titanium root to the supragingival part of the tooth. An implant without an abutment will not be able to perform its functions. In addition, such a connecting element plays an important role in obtaining the final result, taking into account functionality and aesthetics. In our clinic, the patient is given the opportunity to choose any type of abutment (ball-shaped, straight, angular). We use only licensed products that meet all parameters, GOST, and sanitary standards.
Osstem is one of the world's most famous and popular manufacturers of abutments. This company represents products that are used by leading dental clinics around the world. All manufactured products undergo rigorous quality checks.
How to replace an abutment
The structure, which consists of an implant, abutment and crown, may break or fail. To replace the implant, invasive surgery is performed. If the abutment breaks, a simpler procedure is performed.
The Osstem company is a well-known global brand, so a damaged abutment must be replaced with an abutment from the same company. This will help avoid various design difficulties in the future. In addition, an unknown and new company may stop producing the abutment, which entails additional difficulties with replacing the structure.
Varieties
Abutments are divided into several categories. The distinguishing factor is the scope of application and technical characteristics.
Standard abutments
This is a universal design, for the production of which a template is used. It comes in various shapes, diameters and sizes.
Pros:
- Shown in most cases.
- It has a reasonable price.
- It is easy to replace.
- The disadvantages of a universal abutment include:
- Not all situations take into account the individual anatomical features of the jaw and teeth.
- Limitation of soft tissue aesthetics.
Custom abutments
This type of design is made individually, taking into account the shape of the teeth, gums, and bite nuances. Also, the slightest error and deviation are eliminated, since an individual abutment is made based on a 3D model of the jaw.
A custom abutment offers higher quality, functionality and aesthetics. It adheres well to the gum line, so there is no need for additional manipulation of soft tissue. The only disadvantage of this type of abutment is its higher cost.
Angled abutments
The installation of such abutments occurs on an implant that was implanted at a non-standard angle. The reason for this implantation is the anatomical feature of the jaw and teeth.
Ball abutments
Ball abutment is used for mini-implantation. In most cases, a removable structure is installed on such an abutment.
Temporary abutments
This is a titanium plug that is installed after the artificial root has been implanted. Thanks to this detail, the necessary relief of the soft tissues around the implanted implant and the future prosthesis is formed. Installation of a temporary abutment, or gum former, is indicated while the titanium root is healing. Then it is removed.
Solid abutments
The artificial root and abutment are a single unit. In most cases, this design is installed if simultaneous implantation is carried out.
How to install Osstem abutments
If a one-stage implantation is performed, the implant and abutment are installed during one appointment with the doctor. With the classical (two-stage) technique, the abutment, implant and crown are installed as follows:
- Carrying out preliminary procedures before installing all components. The patient is advised, tests are prescribed, pictures are taken, etc.
- During the surgical stage, a temporary healing abutment is installed.
- The abutment is installed.
How Osstem abutments are fixed
Abutments are installed in two ways:
- Cement fixation. For this, a special material is used, which is based on cement. It is a simple and aesthetic way. The downside is that it is difficult to remove excess cement and remove and replace the prosthesis.
- Screw fixation. A screw mechanism is used to attach the prosthesis. A hole is made in the crown through which the abutment screw will pass. Then the hole is closed with a special material and polished. This technique is considered safer when it comes to the likelihood of an inflammatory process.
