Brief introduction of ITI dental implants in Switzerland

Swiss ITI dental implant is an implant system recommended by the International Dental Implantation Union, and its concept is "to obtain the best effect by the simplest method". According to the investigation, the planting system was founded in the early 1970s by the Department of Preservative Dentistry of Bonn University in Switzerland and the privately owned Straumann Institute in Vardenburg, Switzerland. Since 1974, it has been successfully applied and accumulated a lot of clinical data.

Swiss ITI can be said to be the representative of the two-stage non-implant implantation system, which exposes the oral cavity after one operation and heals without covering. Without secondary operation, the bone can be directly connected to the abutment to complete the repair after the bone integration is completed. Machining grade 4 titanium. Made of commercial pure titanium (Grade 4 ISO5832/ 1). Compared with grade 3 titanium, the contents of oxygen and iron are increased. Its mechanical properties are improved. Due to the existence of titanium plasma coating (TPS), the bone contact area is increased. The surface of all ITI implants has a plasma coating of titanium paste containing micropores, and the surface roughness of the etched coating is 20 μm and the thickness is about 20-30 μm m.. The coating increases the surface area and the percentage of bone bonding, and obviously increases its anti-dislocation ability. Smooth machined neck. ITI's gingival-penetrating neck is cup-shaped and has a smooth machined surface, which is considered by designers to be beneficial to the attachment of neck soft tissue and prevent periodontal soft tissue infection. Its advanced surface treatment technology (SLA) and patented Morse taper enabled the implant to be repaired within 6 weeks after implantation, which greatly shortened the treatment time and achieved excellent stability. Accurate and standardized preparation of implant position can achieve initial stability. After application, dentists also realized that the bone preparation method accurately designed by this system is easier and more reliable than other implant systems in achieving ideal initial stability.

Swiss ITI dental implant system will implant an implant (artificial tooth root) with high physiological compatibility with human body into alveolar bone and produce osseointegration with it. Strong retention and stability, simple operation, short healing time, long service life, more efficient chewing function, similar appearance to natural teeth and better gloss than natural teeth. Therefore, it is known as "the third pair of human teeth" and is also recognized by the international stomatology community.
