Implant Treatment Features at Our Clinic

In-House Dental CT Scan

Our in-house Dental CT scan allows us to capture not only two-dimensional images but also detailed three-dimensional ones. Advanced surgical procedures like implant treatments require enhanced safety.
The CT scan provides detailed information about the jawbone, which cannot be easily seen on dental X-rays.
Since the number of dental clinics with Dental CT is still limited, many clinics refer patients to external facilities, such as university hospitals, for CT scans.
However, we have all the necessary equipment on-site, enabling us to offer comprehensive care under one roof.

Our Dental CT cone-beam/multislice technology facilitates quick imaging with thin slice widths of 0.1 to 0.2 mm, minimizing radiation exposure. By examining the thickness of the jawbone and the location of nerves, we can accurately place the ideal size implant in the correct direction. CT imaging is crucial for ensuring safety during implant procedures.

Pre-Surgical Simulation Software and Surgical Guides

Simulation Software “DTX Studio Implant”

This sophisticated software allows us to simulate implant placement in three dimensions on a computer screen. It enables us to determine the implant’s direction, depth, and size in advance.

In the past, treatment was often based solely on dental X-rays and the dentist’s experience and intuition. Today, the combination of CT imaging and this simulation software has significantly enhanced safety.

Accurate implant placement not only enhances safety but also contributes to the long-term stability and reliability of the implant.

Guided Surgery (Surgical Guides)

Based on data from the simulation software, we create a surgical guide that is placed in the patient’s mouth during the procedure. This guide, known as a surgical guide template, ensures that the implant is placed at the correct position with the planned depth and direction.

The surgical guide is used according to the specific case and the patient’s preferences, allowing us to perform implant surgeries with enhanced safety and accuracy.

Thorough Sterilization and Infection Prevention Before and During Surgery

Implant procedures are surgical treatments, so thorough infection control and hygiene are essential. Our doctors and staff wear sterilized, clean surgical attire and perform implant surgeries in a disinfected environment, comparable to that of medical surgeries.

One of the major causes of poor prognosis or failure in implant procedures is implant loss (failure of implant integration with the jawbone) due to infection at the implant site.
Infections can be caused by patient conditions or bacterial contamination of the wound.

To prevent this, we implement the following measures:

• Thorough sterilization of surgical instruments
• Clear distinction between clean and contaminated areas around the surgical unit
• Complete sterilization of disposable surgical attire, including gowns, hats, and gloves
• Disinfection of the surgical field and draping (covering the patient with sterilized cloth)

We adhere to strict hygiene practices to prevent infections, which is crucial for the success of implant treatments.
