How are they developed?

To develop its implants, the company used data obtained from US Army dental research conducted in 1968.

Combining this with research from leading dental clinics, medical universities and research centers, the company has developed the world's first shortened implant with a wide thread.

Carrying out further work in its own research center, the company created a special coating for the implant that ensures fast and high-quality osseointegration.

Postoperative period

The most important thing in the postoperative period is the cooperation of the patient with the doctor, although healing will take place under normal conditions, at home.

Therefore, it is necessary to immediately contact your doctor if any adverse events occur.

You should especially beware of the mobility of installed temporary prostheses in the case of two-stage implantation. At the slightest sign of this complication, the doctor will have to carry out additional adhesive fixation of the structure.

Catalog

Constant research and collection of clinical information have made it possible to develop several series of types of implants that differ in their characteristics and intended purpose.

With inner diameter 3.0mm

This series of implants is one of the shortest. It was designed taking into account the correct distribution of the load on the dentition and the biological processes of implantation of the artificial root. The shortened model has a tight cone-type connection that prevents the penetration of bacteria.

The connection plate has a large width , which provides additional stability to the structure. The beveled shoulder of the neck implies complete immersion of the metal root into the bone tissue below the cortical line.

The combination of unique design elements greatly enhances system stability and rapid bone formation around the shaft.

Thanks to these characteristics, implants with an internal connection diameter of 3 mm are used to restore single and multiple dentition defects in jaws with severe bone tissue deficiency.

In this case, the involvement of the lower alveolar nerve and sinuses of the upper jaws is completely excluded.

This article contains reviews about Alpha Bio implants.

And on the link there are reviews about Straumann implants.

This line of implants is represented by the following models:

• diameter 4.5 mm . Includes models with lengths from 6 to 11 mm. Among them, you can choose a product with a conventional coating and a coating that increases the rate of osseointegration;
• 5 mm . Just like in the first version, models with different coatings are presented here. The series with osseointegration coating includes products with lengths of 5, 6, 8 and 11 mm. The range of conventional implants is limited to lengths of 6, 8, 11 mm;
• 6 mm . There is only one model with titanium coating, 5.7 mm long. Improved implants are made in 3 sizes: 5, 8 and 5.7 mm.

Installing a system of this type will cost approximately 20 thousand rubles .

With an internal diameter of 2.5 mm. MAX 2.5

This type of implant is designed specifically for installation in the anterior segment of the jaw arch, but can also be used in other areas of the jaw. Unlike other types of structures, they have a reinforced wide neck made in the shape of a cone.

The internal diameter, which is only 2.5 mm , is characterized by high retention. The structure is connected in such a way that the abutment can be removed and reinstalled if necessary.

The group of implants with an internal connection diameter of 2.5 mm includes the following models:

• 4 mm . This includes products whose length is 5, 8 and 11 mm. There is no 5 mm model in the group of conventional implants;
• 4.5 mm . The group includes 4 models: 2 with titanium coating and 2 with osseointegration. Their length is 8 and 11 mm.

The cost of installing products from this series is approximately 27 thousand rubles .

With inner diameter 2.0mm NARROW

The NARROW series includes short models with the narrowest internal diameter. The products are intended for installation in the frontal segment of the lower jaw arch in conditions of limited interdental space.

The implant neck is designed in such a way that when connected to the abutment, a diameter of at least 3 mm is formed.

Several models with a diameter of 2.5 mm have been developed for implantation:

• 3 mm . There is only one model with this outer diameter - 8 mm long and coated, reducing the healing time;
• 3.5 mm . This group includes products 8 and 11 mm long with two types of coating;
• 4 mm . Just like the previous version, it has two types of coating and two sizes: 11 and 8 mm.

Installation prices for these models average 30 thousand rubles .

Abutments

In addition to implants, the company also developed abutments. Currently, the company can offer a huge range of temporary and permanent abutments. Among them are the following models:

• universal;
• classic (straight);
• corner;
• shoulder;
• shoulderless;
• shapers;
• templates.

Stages of implantation treatment

The implant can be installed quite quickly. On the appointed day, the patient comes to see the doctor, where he undergoes micro-surgery under local anesthesia. The latter takes up to one hour.

Conventionally, implantation can be divided into three main stages:

1. Preparing for treatment. The client undergoes an examination, which includes examination of the oral cavity, taking targeted and panoramic photographs. If a lack of bone structure is detected, an additional computed tomography scan is performed. It is needed to determine exactly where the nerves pass and what condition the maxillary sinuses are in.
2. Direct installation. The client is given anesthesia. Thanks to her, he does not experience pain. Afterwards, a pilot osteotomy is performed, and the bone tissue is prepared to form a bed for the titanium root. The implant is placed in the jaw. After a certain period of time (depending on the treatment method), the coronal part is fixed on it.
3. Rehabilitation. The patient is recovering and undergoing preventive examinations with his dentist. During the rehabilitation period, it is important to follow all medical recommendations and strictly observe the rules of oral hygiene. If any unpleasant symptoms arise, it is important to see an implantologist as soon as possible so that he can rule out the development of complications.

Baikon implantation is the best way to restore a smile for people who care about their health. This method has no analogues that would be superior to it according to some criteria. Therefore, if you are deciding whether to use American technology or give preference to another method of treatment, it is better to stick with it.

Features and Benefits

The great demand for the products of this brand is explained by its features and advantages, which positively distinguish it from other brands:

• small length of the product, which is only 8 mm. This allows implantation even with limited height of the alveolar ridge;
• the core area is 30% larger than that of similar products from competing companies, which ensures good stability of the crowns;
• unique wide plateau , characterized by increased stability;
• innovative hermetic connection , which does not allow even bacteria to penetrate into the cavity of the structure and allows the abutment to be positioned in different ways;
• the beveled shoulder of the neck makes it possible to install the product so that it is not visible in the gum;
• This system can be installed without a crown . For this purpose, a special abutment is used, which is painted in the color of a natural tooth;
• the procedure can be performed even in conditions of poor bone quality or bone loss , without the use of a sinus lift;
• the system is characterized by rapid engraftment and minimal discomfort during the rehabilitation period;
• the design provides for the possibility of both delayed crown installation and immediate loading .

Indications, contraindications

You can resort to the help of structures:

• immediately after removal of a permanent tooth (regardless of its location);
• with bone atrophy;
• if it is decided to carry out immediate implantation with immediate loading;
• during the classical implantation protocol.

There are no absolute contraindications to Baikon implantation. But there are some restrictions. Almost all of them are reversible. This means:

• 
  caries;

• pulpitis;
• incorrect bite, which must first be corrected;
• mental illness;
• acute infectious and viral pathologies;
• allergy to anesthetics;
• exacerbation of existing chronic diseases.

Immediately after eliminating the factor that does not allow restoring the integrity of the dentition right now, the patient can immediately begin implantation treatment.

Flaws

The disadvantages of this system include little clinical experience of use in our country, which significantly reduces the quality of installation and the effectiveness of the operational properties of the product.

The disadvantages include some installation nuances: the implant is not screwed in, but driven in with a special hammer. Firstly, it causes some discomfort to the patient. Secondly, this slightly reduces the percentage of engraftment and primary stability of the product.

Bicon implantation options

The American Baikon implant is a unique design that is characterized by a hermetically sealed connection between the titanium root and the abutment, which prevents the penetration of bacterial infection into the system. These crowns are implanted without the use of screws or cement mortars, allowing you to achieve maximum aesthetics of your smile without any defects in the gingival area. With Baikon implants, patients can be sure that they will never encounter the problem of the characteristic black stripe on the gums or bad breath associated with rotting screw structures.

Bicon implants are the way to a healthy and beautiful smile, which is practically no different from natural and has a lifetime guarantee.

Experts' opinion

According to experts, Bicon implants are an excellent option for restoring crowns. They are distinguished by ease of installation, high quality of the product and its functionality.

Proper distribution of the load eliminates bone atrophy around the system , which is not always possible when using products from other manufacturers.

In this video, a specialist expresses his opinion about this manufacturer:

Installation procedure options

Baikon implants can be installed:

• According to the protocol with immediate functional load. After implantation, a temporary crown is put on, restoring the functions and aesthetics of the dentition until complete healing. During installation, bone compression is applied.
• Using a two-stage method. After implantation, the implant is covered with gums for a healing period of 2 to 6 months. 2-3 weeks before prosthetics, the rod is surgically opened and an abutment is installed. Next, prosthetics is performed.
• Using a one-stage surgical technique. After tooth extraction, an implant with a gum former is immediately implanted into the socket. The latter forms an even gingival contour around the artificial root. This eliminates repeated surgical preparation before prosthetics. In some cases, it is possible to install a temporary crown.

Rehabilitation after surgery

The first thing that is necessary after implantation is to follow the doctor’s recommendations and maintain oral hygiene. Immediately after surgery, the patient may experience moderate pain, but this is completely natural. Usually after three days the pain disappears.

In the postoperative period, it is very important to monitor the strength of the fastenings, and if even slight mobility is observed, then you should immediately consult a doctor for more reliable fixation and elimination of defects.
