In dentistry, facing unknown implants can significantly hamper your ability to provide appropriate care. Every year, many dentists are confronted with implants of which they can identify neither the brand nor the model, due to the fact that patients are not keeping their implant passports, the disappearance of certain brands, changes in product ranges or the simple lack of available information. This can lead to delays in treatment, costly errors in ordering prosthetic components, or the impossibility of carrying out necessary restorations.
The dental implants catalog is vast and complex, with over 3,500 different models from 350 brands. This diversity poses a major challenge in terms of implant recognition and compatibility, especially when you consider the frequency with which product ranges evolve or certain brands disappear from the market. Indeed, 81% of dentists have been confronted at least once with an unfamiliar implant, which can greatly complicate patient care.
This situation is not without practical consequences: 49% of practitioners admit to having ordered the wrong prosthetic part at least once, because they were unable to correctly identify the implant. Until recently, the only option was to embark on a tedious and often fruitless search, canvassing colleagues, rummaging through obsolete catalogs or consulting prosthetists in the hope of finding reliable information. This process is not only time-consuming, it is also a source of uncertainty and potential errors that can affect treatment outcomes.
