Megagen implants from Korea - almost one hundred percent success at a low price

In this article we will look at all the advantages and disadvantages of one of the most progressive implantation systems from the Korean company Megadgen - AnyRidge. It is believed that AnyRidge implants are maximally identical to the anatomy of a human tooth and have no equal in the world. Let’s try to summarize and present information about implants called AnyRidge as objectively as possible.

What is special about AnyRidge implants?

AnyRidge dental implants are often called the “modern word” in dental prosthetics or new generation implants. The Eniridge system is the most popular in Europe. Many consider Megadgen's AnyRidge implants to be the best or premium implants among other similar systems.

A distinctive feature of this system is the presence of a special thread that allows these implants to be fixed even in bones with reduced hardness.

The Korean Eniridge system combines the advantages of modern innovations in the field of implantology. This implant design has any size of implants to satisfy the needs of any patient.

The orthopedic components of these designs are equipped with a line of zirconium dioxide products, which makes it possible to obtain aesthetically ideal dentures for even the most capricious clients.

Many people are afraid that installation of most implant systems requires a particularly complex surgical operation. This system by the South Korean company AnyRidge is devoid of these difficulties: for its installation, one single small drill is used, which minimally injures the bone tissue. If the implant is installed soon after dental extraction, then there is no need to drill or cut the gum at all.

The pronounced thread in the implant system makes it extremely reliable and accessible for use even in the most difficult clinical situations. Such situations include weak bone tissue or thinning of the alveolar bone due to prolonged absence of a tooth.

MegaGen Implant Korea: reviews of the company

The South Korean company MegaGen Implant has been specializing in the production of dental products for many years. Its product line includes about 2,100 items in various areas of dental implantology. The company gained worldwide fame in 2009 when it launched production of an innovative implantation system - Any Ridge . Thanks to its widespread use, such an implant can now be installed in almost any country.

In 2022, M egaGen AnyRidge were awarded the gratitude of the Prime Minister of Korea and the Reliable Quality Award. To date, the company's products are registered in more than 90 countries and have received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On this side, the main advantage for patients is the opportunity to install an implant in one country and a crown on an implant in another. There is a 90% chance that the doctor will be familiar with this implantation system.

CEO of MegaGen Implant Co., Ltd. Dr. Kwang Bum Park:

The mission of our company remains unchanged - we offer only effective solutions to various clinical cases and thus contribute to the professional growth of dentists around the world. Today, the MegaGen product line includes more than 2,000 items in various areas of dental implantology. In 2006, we became the first South Korean implant system manufacturer to receive FDA approval.

The essence of innovation of this method

Why does the AnyRidge system have no analogues in the world? Its special “advantage” is the ability to do without the tedious stage of bone grafting. Usually, implantation is not performed in “weak” bones, as it requires reliable fixation. Therefore, in case of bone defects, one has to deal with the tedious procedure of building it up and waste time on the healing of the implanted part of the bone. Not only can this process take several months, but foreign tissue may also be rejected, forcing the orthodontist to duplicate the augmentation procedure.

AnyRidge eliminates the need for such costly and time-consuming preparation processes. This fact is especially important for patients with a thinned alveolar bone crest.

This implantation system is installed with parallel splitting of the thinned ridge. In this case, dental restoration will take no more than three months. In addition to saving time, the load on the patient’s body is also minimized.

The fact that only one drill is used when installing an implant makes the installation process as comfortable as possible. And an additional “bonus” in the form of the absence of bone grafting allows you to make complete prosthetics of any complexity not in 10 months, but in just 3. After this, impressions are taken and permanent dentures are fixed.

Profile readings

  • ridge splitting;
  • wide hole;
  • soft bone;
  • a short implant is needed so as not to perform vertical augmentation of the alveolar ridge, sinus lift;
  • immediate load;
  • emergency implantation;
  • lack of space;
  • acceleration of osseointegration;
  • minimal trauma;
  • pin installation without drilling;
  • high aesthetics.

Eniridge technology, used in dentistry, allows you to get rid of defects of a number of different origins. The design has virtually no flaws. The patient receives a finished tooth in the shortest possible time and without unnecessary stress.

A simple installation of Eniridge brand implants takes only 5-10 minutes.

If the bone width is normal, incisions can be avoided.

Advantages

Why are these Megadgen implant systems considered a breakthrough in dentistry? Let's look at the advantages that the installation of AnyRidge fixed prostheses provides. According to dental websites, these implants have advantages over other similar systems in the form of:

  • the ability to avoid drilling the jaw bones and cutting the gums during installation;
  • lack of bone grafting and the possibility of use for imperfect gums;
  • use of material in the form of high-quality ultra-pure titanium;
  • the ability to remove a tooth, implant an artificial root and install a temporary column in one visit;
  • gradually increasing the thread on the implant to achieve stable fixation even in weak or soft bone;
  • maximum comfort during installation thanks to the use of one filigree drill when implanting artificial roots;
  • excellent survival rate of this implant and a lifetime warranty of the system;
  • twice the surface area of ​​artificial roots than other models, which allows implants to be fixed in the upper jaw without sinus lift (if the bone is larger than 4 mm);
  • availability for prosthetics for people who are contraindicated with other types of implants;
  • almost 2 times larger implant area compared to standard models, which ensures the strength of the system and the possibility of installation even on low bones;
  • the ability of the implant to independently expand the bone, which reduces the time it takes to engraft and grow new bone tissue;
  • availability of 55 numbers of artificial roots, allowing you to select them for any patient and expand the indications for installation;
  • possibility of instant loading after installation;
  • predictable tissue regeneration;
  • the fastest possible (up to 2 months) and high-quality engraftment of this implantation system thanks to a special nanocoating of the implant with calcium ions in its composition;
  • maximum quality stabilization of the implant due to its special design and the ability to be installed in tissue of any density;
  • reliability of the connection in the form of a cone between the abutment and the implant, which eliminates instability and untwisting of the product even when the screw is removed;
  • high aesthetics of the implant and its smooth surface, which repels plaque;
  • complete elimination of product defects due to multiple checks of manufacturing accuracy and quality at all stages.

pros

  • better stabilization
    . With soft bone, unique threads of different diameters on a constant diameter of the body allow the installation of a product of large dimensions through a small hole. When solid, the system is mounted much easier than a classic pin;
  • intuitive drilling protocol
    . The specialist independently selects a protocol to obtain the optimal amount of primary stabilization, taking into account the patient’s bone density;
  • tight seal
    . Magic Five internal cone joint eliminates the possibility of screw loosening;
  • biological S-line
    . Protects against recession (gum loss), provides natural aesthetics;
  • strength
    . Thanks to the improved shape and thread/body design, the system's strength characteristics are significantly higher than traditional titanium pins.

How is the implantation process performed?

The installation of implants is preceded by a preparation period.

The preparatory stage includes activities from:

  1. Examination of the oral cavity to identify dental problems.
  2. The therapist's assessment of the patient's general condition.
  3. Taking tests (general blood and urine tests).
  4. Sanitation of the oral cavity.
  5. Identification of structural features of the jaw and teeth (X-rays and tomography of the jaw).

Installation phase

To restore missing teeth, one of two methods is used: one-stage or classic. Prosthetics are possible both immediately after tooth extraction and several years after that. The method of implantation is chosen by the doctor depending on the complexity of the clinical situation. Implantation includes the following stages:

  1. Preparing the hole (about 3 mm) for implantation. Local anesthesia is used here.
  2. Selecting the shape of the future implant using computer modeling.
  3. Installation of artificial root (duration 10-30 minutes). Cutting the gum and peeling it off is necessary if the tooth was removed a long time ago.
  4. Screwing an artificial root like a gimlet into the bone tissue.
  5. Fixation of a temporary crown (at the request of the patient) made of composite materials with preliminary modeling using computer programs.
  6. Possibility of installing a ceramic prosthesis 2 months after implantation.

Contraindications

The use of these implants minimizes contraindications to prosthetics.

However, there are general disorders in the body for which any intervention is prohibited. Such situations occur in the following conditions:

  1. Pregnancy.
  2. Acute infectious diseases.
  3. Oncological diseases.
  4. Blood clotting disorders.
  5. Allergies to the use of anesthesia.
  6. Exacerbations of mental illness.
  7. Acute inflammatory diseases in the oral cavity.

Many contraindications are temporary. To determine existing contraindications, before implantation, the patient must be examined by a therapist and a number of laboratory tests are performed.

About the timing of implant installation

When installing Eniridge systems, it is possible to significantly reduce the time required for prosthetics.

When using other types of implant structures, the process from bone growth to their final engraftment takes on average about a year. With these implants, the installation time is reduced to 3 months. Their implantation includes the following steps:

  • tooth extraction procedures with installation of an artificial root – lasts about 1-1.5 hours;
  • covering the implant with a permanent crown (with the process of fusion of the product with the jaw bone) – 3 months after installation;
  • recovery period (taking into account the beginning of implant installation and until the functionality and aesthetics of the teeth are fully achieved) - includes about 3 months (instead of the traditional 9 months).

Rehabilitation

During the recovery period, you should adhere to the following recommendations

:

  • take medications prescribed by a doctor;
  • nutrition during the engraftment stage should be correct and healthy; more fruits and vegetables should be added to the daily menu;
  • To clean the orthopedic structure and implant, you need to use a special brush or irrigator;
  • If complications occur - heavy bleeding, swelling, high temperature, numbness, you should consult your doctor.

After successful implantation of the artificial root, preventive visits to the clinic should be made once every 6 months.

Flaws

Little is known about the disadvantages of these implants. These mainly include the high cost of these structures.

Let’s figure out whether these record-breaking installation times for these structures will really not affect the quality or service life of the implant.

  1. It has been proven that 55 sizes of artificial roots provide every chance to choose an individual approach for each patient. If there is no need for a gum incision, then the minimum implantation time can be one minute. However, this period depends on the condition of the patient’s oral cavity.
  2. The implant designs are as reliable as possible in use. The abutment serves as an intermediate link between the tooth and the artificial root. There are special “tricks” that provide special strength to the implant in the jaw and prevent it from loosening. An important feature of the Eniridge implant system, which prevents the fixing screw of artificial teeth from unwinding, is the connection of the implant to the abutment at an angle of 5 degrees.
  3. The lifetime warranty of these implants further confirms their reliability. Thanks to this implantation system, it is possible to install removable, fixed, conditionally removable, bridge, single and other prostheses. Materials for manufacturing can be different: ceramics, metal, zirconium dioxide, etc.

Characteristics declared by the manufacturer

MegaGen provides a lifetime warranty on all elements of the Anyridge system - implant, abutment and fixing screw. Thanks to the conical contact of the abutment with the implant, a strong, hermetically sealed locking occurs, which, firstly, protects against peri-implantitis, and secondly, guarantees the rigidity of the assembly (the crown does not loosen over time).

Time for manipulations and the complete treatment process according to MegaGen protocols:

  • Express implantation – 40 min.
  • Single-stage implantation - 90 min.
  • Complete osseointegration - no more than 90 days.

With a length of 5.5 mm, the Anyridge implant line includes options with outer diameters from 3.5 to 5.5 mm, which allows installation in all types of dental tissue (D1; D2; D3; D4).

Price

As for the price of AnyRidge implants, it is quite high. This is due to several factors:

  1. The complex design of the system, in which the developers tried to provide for many nuances and disadvantages of most other implantation systems.
  2. The installation procedure is complicated for the doctor, which increases the appointment time and places special demands on the doctor’s qualifications and professionalism.
  3. A significant reduction in treatment time due to the absence of the need for sinus lift.
  4. The ability to use implants without any risk of rejection or damage in those clinical cases where other implants cannot be selected (use for medium, low and low density bone biotypes).
  5. Lifetime warranty from the manufacturer of these structures.

Regarding the average cost of these fixed prostheses, it can be stated that the process of surgical installation of one AnyRidge implant is about 30,000 rubles.

Many clinics indicate in their price lists the price range for different stages of installing Eniridge implants. For example:

  • the cost of stage 1 is about 54 – 55,000 rubles;
  • the cost of stage 2 is about 43 – 45,000 rubles;
  • turnkey prices are about 97 - 99,000 rubles.

Reviews

Let's look at several reviews from patients and doctors who have installed or are installing AnyRidge prostheses.

Nina Vladimirovna, Moscow

As a physician, I have been installing AnyRidge systems since 2001 and have been very pleased with them. These implants are not only extremely aesthetically pleasing, but are also ideal for immediate installation into bone tissue with defects.

Anna, Ulyanovsk

I received 5 AnyRidge implants. I'm very pleased with the result. The teeth turned out gorgeous and matched perfectly with the “native” ones. The installation was quick and painless. I use my new teeth and enjoy life.

Tamara Ivanovna, Simferopol

My dental situation was so critical that many dentists only suggested wearing removable dentures. But I managed to find a clinic that works with Eniridge implants. Everything went quickly and painlessly, although a little expensive for me. But now I’m showing off my new teeth and I’m just happy.

Summarizing the numerous positive reviews from the Internet, the conclusion suggests itself that AnyRidge implants really receive a lot of positive reviews among patients and doctors. We can say about this implantation system that it is simply devoid of any serious drawbacks.

The only thing that is high is the price, because of which not everyone can afford to install these fixed dentures. However, technologically, the price of Energy designs is largely justified, compensating for this minus with large “pluses” in the form of a lifetime warranty, speed of installation and the absence of the need for sinus lifting. Not all modern designs can boast as many advantages as these.
