Several techniques for implant surgery without imposing a heavy burden on the patient, including incision of the gum and increasing the bone, will be presented.

Implant placement surgery usually involves incision of the gum ridge.
However, the following technique allows implant placement without cutting the gums (flapless implant surgery).

  Technique Suited to the following patients
Flapless implant surgery
  • Patients who wish to minimize bleeding and swelling

Techniques for implant placement without increasing bone

Natural processes due to serious gum disease and prolonged tooth loss often result in bone loss in the jaw.
Conventionally, an implant could not be placed in such cases without increasing the bone.
However, CT and computer simulation now allow thorough diagnosis and accurate surgical planning. Thus, implant treatment may be possible without bone augmentation/bone grafting (graftless) depending on the clinic environment and the patient’s condition.
Some implant therapies with graftless techniques are introduced below.

  Treatments Suited to the following patients
Treatment with a short implant
  • Patients who have insufficient bone quantity to place dental implants, but wish to avoid treatment to increase bone
  • Patients who wish to reduce costs
  • Patients who wish to shorten the duration of treatment
Inclined placement of an implant
  • Patients who have insufficient bone quantity to place dental implants, but wish to avoid treatment to increase bone
  • Patients who wish to reduce costs
  • Patients who wish to shorten the duration of treatment
All-on-4
  • In cases of losing all teeth, patients who have insufficient bone quantity to place dental implants, but wish to avoid treatment to increase bone volume
