Plasmapp’s newly developed and launched device, ACTILINK, designed to significantly enhance treatment success rates and dental implant healing speed through surface activation just before implant placement, has finally arrived in Singapore.
According to plasmapp, Elite Dental Group is reportedly the first clinic in Singapore to utilise this groundbreaking technology which has shown to enhance dental implant treatment success rates, reducing treatment duration from months to weeks.
The ACTILINK works by activating the dental implant surface with vacuum plasma. This process increases the wettability of the dental implant which increases tissue integration and osseointegration.
Enhancing these aspects can improve the success rates of dental implant surgery and shorten the stabilisation period or recovery period after dental implant surgery.
The ACTILINK has currently delivered promising results for Dr Gerald Tan’s dental implant treatments with most treatment durations being reduced from 3-4 months to less than 6-8 weeks.
A big hindrance to getting dental implants is the cost of treatment as well as the treatment duration. “Most patients know the benefits of dental implants but are put off by the long treatment duration. I often hear the surprise in their voice when they discover that dental implants are not a one-time, immediate dental process. Unfortunately, it is not possible to rush treatment,” said Dr Gerald Tan, founder of Elite Dental Group and a dental surgeon with more than 21 years of experience with smile and bite restoration using dental implant therapy.
“The success rates of dental implant placements depend largely on healthy gums and bone, good overall systemic health, adequate recovery time and osseointegration potential. The good thing is that modern technology has advanced so much that it can help decrease the duration of recovery and improve treatment outcomes. This is what we help to achieve with ACTILINK.”
