Hello!
Lately I have been reading quite a lot about dental implants. As I have noticed, dentists use different implant systems, most commonly Ankylos, Bredent, Astra... Although this is probably a somewhat overly "technical" question, as a potential future user of this service I am interested in which of these systems is currently the most widely used in Europe, which offers the broadest range of solutions for an individual patient, which provides the best results in terms of biointegration, possibilities for immediate loading, the most aesthetically appropriate prosthetic superstructure, and, if replacement of the implant or superstructure is ever required, the least laborious work and the fewest possible complications. I realize, however, that the answer is probably not easy, since individual dentists usually mainly use one or at most two systems, if I understand correctly.
I am also curious about something else. If we look at natural teeth, for example central or lateral incisors, their incisal edges are sharp, narrow, straight lines. With "crowned" teeth, however, I often notice that they are somehow rounded; it gives the impression that people with such teeth have "overfilled mouths" and that the "new" teeth are substantially "thicker" than natural teeth. Does this depend on the accuracy of the impression taken by the dentist, on the materials used by the dental technician, or especially on the technician’s sense of aesthetics and ability to approximate the natural tooth of the individual patient as closely as possible?
I hope the questions are understandable enough for you to answer them.
Kind regards, Metka
