BEGO stands out with its dental implants developed to meet various clinical and anatomical needs. Semados® S-Line, SC/SCX, RS/RSX, and RI implants optimize dental treatment processes by offering personalized solutions for each patient. Among the advantages of BEGO implants are high primary stability, effective osseointegration thanks to TiPure Plus surface technology, and bone loss prevention through platform switching. Furthermore, the self-tapping screw structure allows for easy placement. This wide product range aims to provide patients with a reliable and efficient treatment process.
What are the Different Types of BEGO Implants?
BEGO implant types offer customized solutions based on different clinical needs and anatomical structures, creating appropriate treatment options for every patient.
- BEGO Semados® S-Line Implants:
Easy to insert thanks to their cylindrical structure and self-tapping screws. They offer a wide range of diameter and length options and are suitable for a variety of indications.
- BEGO Semados® SC/SCX Implants:
Derived from the S-Line. The SC model has a machined shoulder, while the SCX model has a microstructured shoulder. The platform-switching feature preserves bone.
- BEGO Semados® RS/RSX Implants:
Their tapered design provides high primary stability. The RS model has a machined and RSX model has a microstructured shoulder. They are available for various clinical situations.
- BEGO Semados® RI Implants:
The tapered structure increases stability in low bone density. The micro-serrated neck improves force distribution and supports bone preservation.
All BEGO implants are made of high-purity titanium and feature TiPure Plus surface technology, ensuring optimal osseointegration. With these features, BEGO offers a treatment experience tailored to each patient’s needs.
How Does the TiPure Plus Surface Improve BEGO Implants?
TiPure Plus surface technology is a special surface feature that accelerates and strengthens the osseointegration process of BEGO implants. This technology optimizes the healing process by ensuring the implant establishes a direct and durable bond with living bone. This surface, achieved by sandblasting and etching Grade 4 pure titanium, offers a specific roughness and high surface purity. This allows bone cells, or osteoblasts, to quickly adhere to the implant surface and form a strong bond.
Key features:
- High surface purity
- Homogeneous surface topography
- Increased protein binding capacity
The high surface purity minimizes contaminants that could negatively impact the implant’s healing process. This makes implant integration into the bone more predictable, increasing implant longevity. TiPure Plus surface technology helps the implant form a strong bond from the moment of initial contact with the bone, providing patients with a more durable and stable treatment.
What are the Advantages of the Platform Switching Design in BEGO Implants?
The platform switching design used in BEGO implants is a significant innovation for preserving crestal bone in dental implant treatment. This approach reduces micromotion between the implant-abutment junction, allowing inflammatory cells to migrate away from the adjacent bone and minimizing the risk of bone loss. This design has been implemented, particularly in BEGO’s Semados® RS/RSX series, with the abutment structure removed from the outer edge of the implant platform. The main advantages of this platform-switching design are:
- Bone preservation
- Reduced risk of inflammation
- Prevention of bone damage from micro-cavities
- Longevity of the implant
- Increased restoration success
How Self-Tapping Threads Improve BEGO Implant Placement
BEGO implants’ self-tapping screws are distinguished by their ease and efficiency during implant placement. This special screw design allows the implant to insert itself directly into the bone, eliminating the need for pre-drilling, thus reducing surgical steps. Minimizing bone damage and ensuring high initial implant stability are the foundation of a successful osseointegration process.
The advantages of self-tapping screws are:
- Reduces surgical steps
- Minimizes bone damage
- Does not require predrilling
- Offers high insertion torque values
- Provides stability in soft bone regions
Studies have shown that self-tapping screw designs offer better bone density in soft bone.It has been shown that it contributes to the successful positioning of the implant and the achievement of a higher insertion torque, even in the presence of external forces.
What Role Does German Engineering Play in BEGO Implants?
German engineering guarantees reliability and high quality standards in BEGO implant systems. Based in Bremen, the company is a leader in the industry with its experience and innovative approach in dental implant production, gained since 1990. Rigorous quality control procedures are implemented throughout the production processes, and BEGO implants are developed and manufactured in Germany. Germany’s engineering precision and commitment to perfection are reflected in every stage of BEGO implant production. The company has also received numerous international certifications and approvals for its quality management systems. Some of these certifications include:
- EN ISO 13485 Quality Management Systems for Medical Devices
- EN ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
- European Union Medical Device Directive (MDR) 2017/745
- MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program)
These certifications support BEGO’s comprehensive efforts to ensure high standards and reliability in production. BEGO implants are packaged in clean rooms and delivered to customers under high hygiene standards, ensuring their safety and sterilization. Furthermore, implants such as the BEGO Semados® series offer both durable and aesthetic solutions with their self-cutting properties and conical designs.
