[Dental implants in the private dental office].
The surgical procedure of the implant technique in the private dental office is restricted because of the small number of staff members. All procedures for the implant treatment should be performed with a minimum of staff members: one dentist, a couple of dental hygienists or assistants, with a minimum amount of equipment. Therefore, sufficient conditions for the practicing dentist to perform the implant treatment are summarized as follows: It requires 1) a rather simple operative technique, 2) methods with few special instruments, 3) methods requiring a short operative time, 4) easy reconstruction from mistreated cases, 5) readily available materials, 6) methods applied for all types of tooth deficiency, 7) the material suitable for the aged, 8) stable prognosis. Over several years, using "Bioceram implants" which are manufactured by Kyocera Co., Ltd. (Japan) and by conforming to the conditions as described above, more than 300 cases of the implant treatment have been performed.
