Dental implants are often considered the best treatment for missing teeth. They offer a more permanent solution than bridges and dentures.
According to the Association of Dental Implantology, around 130,000 individual implants are placed each year in the UK, providing life-enhancing functional and aesthetic benefits.
The success and survival rates of dental implants sits at around 92-98%. This rate can vary depending on among other factors, the expertise and skill of the dental surgeon, which itself is influenced by the efficiency of the implant equipment available.
One of the most popular implantology devices in dentistry is Implantmed from W&H, a system than first came to market over 20 years ago and has constantly evolved over the decades.
The most recent version of Implantmed is trusted by dentists and surgeons worldwide for its simplicity, versatility and safety.
Implantmed is a dental implantology system that combines performance with practicality.
The automatic thread cutter function integrated into Implantmed and the tightening torque control provide support when placing implants, while the W&H Osstell ISQ module makes it easier to select the best possible time for loading.
Implantmed also offers maximum flexibility thanks to its wireless foot control, its modern and intuitive user interface and its higher torque compact motor.
Dental experts from various regions have describe their positive experiences of using Implantmed in practice over the years.
The latest Implantmed innovation, the wireless foot control, puts the innovative W&H device among the top surgical units available on the market. The absence of a cable provides the opportunity to place it in the most comfortable place for the surgeon without interference with other cables and units around the dental chair.
An additional benefit is the opportunity to use one control for several units simultaneously. This gives the surgeon freedom in the operating room, space and more time to concentrate on the patient and operative technique. Using two units during one surgery saves a lot of time, and it is an advantage when you do not have to search for the correct foot control. Also, by using just one foot pedal requires less storage space.
The unit is very impressive - both in the details and as a whole. I’d like to highlight the wireless foot control, which means it can be controlled without annoying cables. The new Implantmed can be superbly integrated in practical implantology owing to its dimensions and ergonomic design. In my opinion, the design is also very appealing.
W&H have introduced a whole series of technical features into the new Implantmed, such as the convenient instrument trays and the neat solution to the coolant supply with its very easily inserted tube.
The dockable W&H Osstell ISQ module for measuring implant stability is another unique feature. With this it’s possible to determine the stability of an implant in addition to the insertion torque at any time. Among other things, this is important for choosing the safe loading time and makes prosthetic treatment easier to predict.
Treatment time and predictable outcome are still the relevant factors for our patient to undergo a complex implant prosthetic treatment. Due to my specialisation with a couple of hundred referring dentists, an objective measurement of the implant stability is necessary.
With the Osstell device a reliable assessment of the implant stability and the degree of osseointegration is possible. With this data an individual determination of the different healing periods is possible, which leads in an optimum treatment time and allows to manage risky patients.
Due to the cooperation with W&H with the new generation of Implantmed, a combined device is available, which minimises the number of devices during surgery. During the implant placement a control of bone quality and implant stability is easily possible, which allows a protection of the hard tissue for over-compression or overloading.
The Implantmed Classic and Implantmed with Wireless Food Pedal are available to buy from Kent Express along with accessories to compliment your device.
