Technological improvement breaks through the bottleneck of indications
With advances in materials science, biomedical and surgical techniques, implant solutions are constantly being optimized. However, from the survey data, it can be seen that the current status of the promotion of medical technology lags behind the treatment needs of the public.
Dental implants are recognized in the industry as the closest approximate method of restoration of missing teeth to natural teeth. Compared with traditional implants, immediate implantation has many advantages, such as reducing the second-stage surgery and shortening the treatment time by more than half; It can effectively reduce the resorption of alveolar bone and periodontal tissue, and avoid irreversible problems such as gum recession and deformation. However, the results of the survey of doctors were unexpected, and less than 20.12% of the cases were implemented in clinical practice. As many as 83.59% of dentists believe that less than 30% of the cases are clinically eligible for immediate implant weight bearing. However, in stark contrast, 65.52% of users want to shorten the course of dental implant treatment, and 72.41% want to minimize the number of surgeries.
In the face of this technology, which meets the needs of the public but is limited by indications, as a practitioner and pioneer in the field of immediate implants, Meiao Dental has not been deterred. Under the leadership of Dr. Huang Zeyuan, Medical Director of the Group, Meiao Dental actively explores and optimizes implant technology, and innovates and develops improved minimally invasive maxillary sinus lifting.

For users with clinical indications, the MDIS high-difficulty implant technology does not require incision, flap turning and suturing at the implant socket, but only requires minimally invasive cavity preparation. Minimally invasive maxillary sinus lifting technology implants collagen and concentrated growth factors with improved and enhanced tissue regeneration in the lifted cavity, increasing the height and bone density of alveolar bone, which can play a role in laying the foundation of implants quickly and stably. The simultaneous implantation of hydrophilic implants and healing abutments reduces the pain of secondary surgery, which can greatly shorten the recovery period, reduce the time of missing teeth of patients, and make them more stable in long-term restoration.
With modified surgery, Mayo Dental has succeeded in expanding the range of people available for immediate implant technology. In the case of Chongqing First Hospital, for example, the indication for immediate implantation has been expanded from 15% to 68%. With the help of the MDIS high-difficulty implant technology, many high-difficulty cases with poor oral conditions have also benefited, and the treatment experience of missing teeth has been greatly improved!
Technical concerns should not be an obstacle to improving the patient experience
In addition to the indications, another major problem in the recognition of immediate implants within the physician community is concerns about the long-term effects of the new technology. According to the survey, 58.82% of physicians believe that the other major risk to immediate implantation is the success rate and long-term stability. However, at the same time, 86.07% of dentists believe that with the development of implant materials and technology, the clinical application scenarios of immediate implant weight bearing will be broadened.
Meiao Dental has always firmly believed that medical technology should return to the essence of user-centric, and should reduce the pain of users and optimize the diagnosis and treatment experience while taking into account the treatment effect. Because the doctor's advice has a great impact on the user, it largely determines the medical experience that the average user can get. Meiao Dental calls on professionals to give full play to their professional ability to optimize a technology that has a great demand for most users, expand its indications, and improve the success rate and stability, so that more users can enjoy the benefits brought by the new technology, rather than letting technical reasons become a shackle to development.
Meiao Dental not only improves surgery, but also explores ways to improve the success rate and stability of dental implants in terms of implant and material selection through its own supply chain centralized procurement and technology research and development advantages. At present, many research data support that with the development of implant materials in coating technology and material strength, dental implants have been greatly improved in terms of success rate, stability, soft tissue osseointegration speed, compressive strength, etc. To this end, Meiao Dental actively promotes cooperation with implant manufacturers such as Neosi and Dantein to purchase high-end and high-quality hydrophilic implants. On the other hand, Dr. Huang Zeyuan's team asked clinicians to promote the use of implant hydrophilicity in grade 4 titanium implants. The implant hydrophilic instrument can complete the hydrophilic activation of the implant in 15 minutes, shorten the healing time, and reduce the duration of the patient's missing teeth.
In addition to improving surgery and upgrading implant materials to remove obstacles on the way to improving the diagnosis and treatment experience for users, Meiao Dental also insists on optimizing high-quality, high-stability materials and technical solutions, while taking into account the consideration of cost performance. We select high-quality partners around the world according to high standards, sign exclusive prices through our own supply chain, and improve the stability of non-hydrophilic implants through self-developed technology, so as to benefit users, so that more users can choose the "optimal solution" rather than "retreat to the second" when facing the choice of treatment plan.
Technical training and postoperative management have a long way to go
Immediate implantation is one of the more difficult surgical methods, and it requires high qualifications and experience from doctors. According to the survey results, 30.34% of the physicians believed that the immediate implant of the weight-bearing treatment plan had the problems of high technical operation and postoperative management. Only 45.95% of implant specialists reported complete mastery of the technique, and even fewer among general practitioners and other physicians.
In the case of the dilemma of surgical technology and postoperative management, some users with better oral conditions may not be able to obtain more humane and high-quality treatment options in the face of insufficient popularization of implant concepts and technologies.
In the face of this challenge, Meiao Dental actively promotes training inside and outside the hospital, and carries out multiple rounds of immediate implant training in cities across the country every year, including training on high-difficulty implant techniques. Meiao Dental has always attached great importance to the construction of professional talent echelon, encouraged internal doctors to actively participate in internal and external academic exchanges, regularly organized in-depth exchange and learning activities for complex oral cases, made talent reserves for long-term development strategies, and promoted talent growth and technology popularization through technical exchanges and resource cooperation and sharing.
In addition, Mayo Dental also provides after-sales care services for the dental diagnosis and treatment plan. 10-year ultra-long warranty period, many-to-one exclusive service group, and periodontal cleaning service once a year after surgery. By increasing and optimizing postoperative supporting services, it can clear the worries of users and effectively solve the problem of difficult postoperative management.
The emergence of new medical technologies and new solutions has to go through a difficult process from experimental exploration, to technical improvement and promotion, and then to wide application. Meiao Dental and "Dental Today" jointly released the "Research Report on Oral Implant Demand and Immediate Implant Practice Trends", which aims to show the real needs from the perspective of users by presenting key information and important data, and deeply interpret the technical application and difficulties in the field of oral implantology in China from the perspective of doctors. The contradiction between the two perspectives is the key problem that the industry needs to solve urgently.
As a pioneer in the field of oral health for 12 years, Mayo Dental hopes to take this opportunity to share its professional experience and innovative solutions in diagnosis and treatment technology and services, in addition to promoting the continuous optimization and development of immediate implant technology, bringing users a better and more comfortable diagnosis and treatment experience, so as to fulfill the mission of doctors. It is also hoped that through sharing and discussion with professionals in the industry, we can promote the implementation of immediate planting in terms of technology, service and operation standards. Let users enjoy high-quality and high-standard diagnosis and treatment services in a more transparent and secure environment!
