Implant?
An implant is an artificial tooth embedded in the jawbone to replace a lost tooth. The artificial tooth is divided into three main parts: a titanium screw-shaped fixture that is anchored in the gums, an intermediate connecting device called a healing abutment, and a crown that forms the top part.
For a successful implant surgery, the most crucial aspect is ensuring that the fixture is accurately positioned, oriented, and placed at the correct depth in the gums.
Digital Implants?
The implant procedures can be categorized into traditional implants and digital implants, depending on the surgical approach. Traditional implants often rely heavily on the manual skills of individual dentists during the fabrication of artificial teeth and the surgical process. On the other hand, digital implants leverage digital technology and equipment, significantly increasing the precision of the surgery without the need for incisions in the gums.


One-Day Implants?
One-day implantation is a surgery that combines tooth extraction and implant placement in a single day. Utilizing digital implantation technology, this surgery allows for the completion of implantation, including prosthetic restoration, in a day, whereas traditional implant surgery may take six months or more.
Differences between Traditional Implants and Digital Implants?
<The Difference between Traditional Implants and Digital Implants>
Digital implants, in comparison to traditional implants, utilize “Digital 3D CT and intraoral scanners” to design and manufacture implants. This allows for a more <rapid> and <precise> treatment. With non-incision procedures, digital implants also reduce patient <pain>, promote <quicker recovery>, and save <time>. Most importantly, through precise diagnosis and customized surgery based on simulations, digital implants significantly decrease the risk of failure. This technology enables the easy and secure performance of complex implant procedures.


Comparison between Traditional Implants and Digital Implants
Characteristics | Traditional Implants | Digital Implants |
Pre-surgical Diagnostic Equipment | 2D X-rays | 2D X-rays, 3D CT scans, Intraoral Scanners |
Accuracy of Diagnostic Data | Limited to 2D plane data | 3D volumetric digital data |
Surgical Simulation | Simulation not possible | Computer simulations based on repeated 3D digital data |
Use of Surgical Guides | Surgery relies on the experience and manual skills of the dentist | Custom guides based on optimal simulations for precise surgery |
Need for Gum Incision | Gum incision is required | No need for gum incision |
Surgery Time and Stability | Longer surgery time and relatively lower stability | Shorter surgery time and relatively higher stability |
Patient Convenience | Relatively more pain and significant bleeding | Relatively less pain and minimal bleeding |
Inconvenient procedures, including tooth denting, and time-consuming | No need for tooth denting, convenient, and time-saving | |
Cost | Relatively cost-effective | Relatively higher cost |
