10 Dental Technologies That Inspire for 2025 featuring iDentical
iDentical is changing the paradigm of implant dentistry with the first drill-free, patient-specific, 3D-printed dental implants. By leveraging 3D scanning and CAD/CAM technology, a patient-specific, one-piece dental implant can be modeled from the patient’s own tooth root and then 3D-printed in titanium with unique design features. Within 7 days of a tooth extraction, any dentist can easily place the iDentical implant into the existing bony socket site without drilling. This minimally invasive approach is bone and tissue friendly while also reducing the risk of errors and nerve injury, because no osteotomy is required to place the implant. In addition, the iDentical workflow is a simplified, faster procedure as the one-piece, patient-specific implant design eliminates multiple components required to place screw-form dental implants. iDentical has completed its first-in-human clinical trial with 100% success after 2 years of follow-up and has begun their US pivotal clinical study with promising results.
