Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Medical Device Identification

Background:

  • Osseointegrated oral implantology is a common dental procedure.
  • Current implant identification methods lack universality.
  • A standardized system is needed for accurate tracking of implant history and status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a universal system for identifying osseointegrated oral implants.
  • To facilitate accurate identification and historical recording of implant bio-clinical status.
  • To enhance communication among dentists, patients, and third parties regarding implant information.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simple implant identification system.
  • Adaptation of the existing FDI two-digit tooth identification system.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Proposal for a standardized approach to implant traceability.

    • Main Results:

    • A straightforward identification system for oral implants has been presented.
    • The proposed system leverages the established FDI tooth numbering convention.
    • This system offers a basis for universal implant identification and record-keeping.

    Conclusions:

    • A universal implant identification system is essential for modern dental care.
    • The proposed FDI-based system offers a practical solution for implant traceability.
    • Standardized identification will improve patient care and data management in implantology.
