When two or more teeth are lost in a row, and this lasts for years, it is always difficult to replace such a loss. Bone tissue inevitably atrophies, which means plastic surgery is necessary before implantation. The Swiss Roott system is designed to restore masticatory function and aesthetics, in 90% of cases without bone augmentation. The main “specialization” of the system is basal implants, however, there are also worthy solutions for the classical two-stage technique.
History of creation
The roott method originated in France. Its discoverer was Gerard Scortecci. As an implant dentist, he conducted an experiment in which he involved not only the spongy layer, but also the cortical layer. The experiment was a success.
At that time, for root implantation, special structures were used, which were made by implantologists in Switzerland. They were made using special latest technology. The result was dental implants that had different designs, shapes, types and sizes. In addition, they differed from each other in coating. Thanks to this diversity, Roott implants could be used in a wide variety of clinical situations.
Root implantation came to our country only in 2011. The times of the Soviet Union served very poorly for root implants. Back then, almost all the latest technologies were beyond our reach. Only during Russian times were our people able to take advantage of these technologies. Many have suffered greatly from this inaccessibility. This is because people were unable to efficiently and effectively restore their teeth from a young age. As a result, they now experience complete destruction of the remaining teeth and bone tissue atrophy.
Roott quickly gained popularity. They moved forward thanks to the fact that until that time there were only implants on the dental market that were installed according to a two-stage protocol. This was a classic in dentistry. Roott opened the door for doctors to see better and more effective treatments. Doctors saw that it is now possible to restore lost teeth without resorting to bridges and removable prosthetics. This was a real breakthrough that made it possible to treat patients with bone deficiency. Moreover, the duration of treatment and the minimalism of injuries have always suited the patients.
Technology development
It is worth mentioning the process of implant evolution itself. Developers together with doctors have always tried to improve implants. But their work was almost always slowed down by the commercial interests of manufacturers. The process of evolution was also influenced by the lack of capabilities of dental clinics, which manifested themselves in the lack or complete absence of the necessary equipment. Dentists offered their patients only standard solutions to the situation, resorting to long-known and proven implants. It was convenient for doctors to use what was proven, rather than waste time delving into new technologies. Almost all patients received the same implants, regardless of the specific situation. Some implant designs did not live up to expectations. These include, for example, disk and plate structures. Despite the fact that they are able to integrate into very thin bone, the rate of injury during their installation is quite high. Therefore, the likelihood of successful treatment is very low.
In contrast to such designs, the roott had and still has threads and coatings that fully meet international standards. The material of Roott implants is completely biocompatible with the human body. The developed concept of these implants makes it possible to solve and cure very complex and time-consuming dental problems.
Shape, carving and coating
The shape of implantation systems is similar to a thin cone, which brings them closer to the shape of a natural tooth root. There are two types of carving. One - with sharp wide blades for installing the basal implant deep into the bone, for securing in the cortical plate. The second is compression thread; during the installation of the implant, the bone tissue is compacted around the threads and the body of the implant.
Read on the topic: what types of dental implants exist – and what they should be like to last as long as possible.
As for the coating of Rutt implants, it is similar to the well-known SLA. That is, after milling and cleaning, the implant is sandblasted and acid etched. These processes create a rough texture and micropores on the surface, which will become a “framework” for the growth of bone tissue.
Root Features
Root refers to basal one-stage implantation, which is fundamentally different from the screw implantation previously used in dentistry. It has always been used to restore teeth. But there were cases when the patient did not have enough bone tissue and it was impossible to immediately use the screw method. In these cases, dentists had to build it up in a long and laborious manner. With basal roott implantation this procedure can be avoided.
The essence of such implantation is the implantation of a structure that is selected individually. This method is especially suitable for people with strong periodontal disease, the absence of many teeth, and for patients suffering from tissue atrophy.
Let us list the distinctive features of the root implantation procedure:
- Minimum treatment period: no more than 5-7 days. Many patients are pleased with the appearance of new teeth within a week.
- The percentage of injury during implantation is minimal.
- Average level of aesthetics. A higher level is obtained after re-prosthetics.
- Installed root implants can last a lifetime.
- These implants are excellent for chewing food.
- High product stability.
- The function of normal chewing of food returns on the 4th day after the operation.
- High maneuverability of the procedure provides enormous opportunities during treatment.
- There is no need to build up bone tissue, even if it is clearly deficient.
- Bone atrophy stops, since the load during chewing is distributed evenly and the cells are provided with adequate nutrition.
- The implant material is pure titanium, which is biocompatible.
- There is no need, even with very severe atrophy, to increase the size of the bone.
- The procedure for installing root implants does not cause severe discomfort or unbearable pain.
- The recovery process after treatment is pleasing with its short duration.
- Root implants have all the necessary quality certificates.
However, the roott implantation procedure requires the patient to be healthy. The patient should not have any infections. Otherwise, the implant may be rejected.
Multi-units from Trate AG
Implant prosthetics are an important part of the dental restoration process. Therefore, it is not enough to be confident in the quality of the titanium “root”; you need to understand that the prosthetics will be reliable and effective. Trate AG produces two types of multi-units to ensure high-quality fixation of prostheses.
Multi-units are a type of abutments, adapters between the top of the implant and the orthopedic structure, providing a reliable collapsible connection of the elements. With this type of prosthesis fixation, no cement is used; the prosthesis is held in place by a durable, high-tech screw lock.
The Trate Ag company produces two types of multi-unit abutments - classic and compression.
The advantages of such designs are as follows:
- Dental cement does not get under the prosthesis.
- If necessary, the prosthesis is removed and replaced with a new one without risking the stability of the implant.
- Provides the possibility of simple and predictable prosthetics even if the patient has a small interalveolar distance.
Benefits of root
Considering the procedure from several angles, the following qualities of root implantation are distinguished: efficiency, speed, reliability and painlessness.
On the speed side, the following stand out:
- There is no need to wait 12 months for complete engraftment of the installed material.
- After tooth extraction, implants can be installed immediately.
- Due to the fact that the implant and root abutment are a one-piece structure, fixed prostheses can be installed on the third day after implantation.
From the side of painlessness:
- In case of missing all teeth or a very large number, root implants are installed in one visit to the doctor.
- The installation method is minimally invasive, it does not injure the gums and remains absolutely sterile. As a result, the rehabilitation period is reduced significantly.
- The special shape, coating, thread and installation method make the healing process several times faster.
On the efficiency side:
- Visual aesthetics and the necessary chewing function are returned to the patient very quickly.
- The implant takes root during the operation of the installed tooth.
- Incisions and suturing are excluded in this process. The patient experiences virtually no discomfort or unwanted pain.
- This treatment method is ideal for those who do not want or do not tolerate the actions of surgeons.
The reliability of implant installation is characterized by the following points:
- Rejection of implants is excluded, since they are made of modern, well-compatible and many times tested materials.
- Ruth implants are capable of working with absolutely all bone sections.
- Implants are selected individually for each case and patient. This ensures a 100% positive result.
- You can “work” with your teeth almost immediately after installation.
Arguments in favor of choosing ROOTT implantation
- ROOTT implants are the only one-stage implants on the surface of which no organic or inorganic contamination was detected , out of 135 units provided for international examination by 95 manufacturers. Sandblasting with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate particles leaves no traces on the surface, ensuring complete sterility.
- The percentage of engraftment exceeds 98% , which corresponds to the indicator of the most branded, expensive systems (Nobel, Astra Tech).
- Many models, as well as additional devices (abutments, installation tools, etc.) determine the breadth of the range of use of ROOTT in modern dentistry. Any clinical case associated with dental failure can be corrected by choosing the ideal option.
Installation procedure
To install the described implants, you must go through the following steps:
- The first stage: selecting the right solution. At this stage, the dentist selects a protocol for solving the problem and the necessary implant for this case. During the examination, indications and contraindications are assessed, and studies are carried out that provide information about the thickness and density of bone tissue. A tomography of the jaw is possible.
- Second stage: direct installation. And depending on the case, the implant can be installed in the tooth socket itself using the gum peeling method and the puncture method.
- Third stage: prosthetics. After installing the implant, the doctor places the patient with a fixed prosthesis made of metal-plastic or temporary crowns.
- Stage four: fitting of a permanent prosthesis. Here the fitting and grinding of the prosthesis takes place.
- Fifth stage: attachment to the implant. Fixation occurs with cement.
Model range of implantation system
- Form root implants
Titanium roots are used for classic two-stage implantation. The abutment is fixed to the implant after healing. It can be used with a one-stage protocol if there is no bone tissue deficiency.
- Compressive
Monoblock products with compression threads. Implants are implanted during implantation with a simultaneous load in case of bone atrophy and a narrow alveolar ridge.
- Basal
Titanium single-component roots are implanted into the socket of an extracted tooth in the basal layers of the bone if there is insufficient jaw tissue. Engraftment occurs when the adaptive prosthesis is worn.
- Multi-unit implants
One-piece implants with multi-unit abutment. Implants are used for screw fixation of dentures (partial, complete) as part of a one-stage protocol for bone atrophy.
Types of root
Modern and very successful implants are divided into 3 types:
Roott form
These are classic two-part implants that are installed into the root, and specifically into the spongy layer of bone. These implants require an incision in the gum. However, there are individual cases when the device can be placed through a puncture or in one stage with tooth extraction. Rootform is almost always used in aesthetic areas or when there is only one defect.
These implants are indicated for patients who are missing one or more teeth (the teeth must be missing in a row) or are completely edentulous. The entire treatment process with such devices lasts 3-9 months depending on the case.
Roott compressive
Refers to compression implantation. The abutment and implant here are a single whole, so they can be installed in one stage with the removal of the diseased tooth. While working with these implants, dentures are installed after a short time (a few days will be enough).
Compared to the previous type, Root compressive is installed in deeper layers of bone. These layers include the basal and cortical. These layers are good because the process of atrophy practically does not occur in them. Thanks to this, the implant can be securely fixed. These implants are most often used for complete or partial edentia.
Roott basal
These basal implants are widely used for atrophy of the uppermost bone layers. In addition, this type of implants is used on the upper and lower jaw. And the last indication for installing root basal implants is the absence of a large number of teeth. There is also no need to build up bone tissue. The Roott basal installation method is transgingival.
Where to go for installation of ROOTT implants in Moscow
The ROOTT implant system is developed and constantly updated by TRATE AG in close cooperation with members of the Open Dental Society. ROOTT's philosophy is to create an ideal artificial tooth that seamlessly osseointegrates with existing biological structures. Osseointegration is the strong fusion of the implant with the bone. Lack of osseointegration can occur when soft tissue (gingiva) grows between the implant and the bone. The effectiveness of implant procedures performed using ROOTT implant systems is more than 98%.
A special feature of the Swiss manufacturer’s line are unique basal implants, which allow you to restore any number of teeth in the shortest possible time using an immediate loading protocol.
Specialists from clinics using this technology in Moscow will tell you more about the benefits of ROOTT implantation.

Price
What is especially pleasing about root implantation is the fixed cost of treatment, which includes the preparation of impressions, the work of the dentist, the manufacture of a prosthesis, correction of the prosthesis, tooth extraction (if necessary) and diagnostics. The cost of the entire jaw will be several times cheaper than installing implants using the classical method.
A definite plus: roott saves money and time. What is especially pleasing about this is that the quality of work and the result do not suffer from this.
Advantages of the RUTT Dental Implantology Center
- The clinic's specialization is the use of unique methods for restoring lost teeth in complex clinical cases;
- highly qualified and experienced doctors;
- application of our own unique developments;
- modern equipment;
- own dental laboratory;
- lifetime warranty on implants;
- free initial consultation with 3 specialists;
- justified cost;
- step-by-step payment, credit and installment plans for treatment.
Contraindications
Despite a very impressive list of advantages, root implantation cannot be resorted to:
- If there is a pregnant or breastfeeding woman in the dentist's chair.
- The alveolar ridge is no more than 0.5 cm wide.
- Serious ailments in the oral cavity: tartar, pulpitis, acute form of stomatitis, cyst, granuloma.
In exceptional cases, it is possible to restore teeth with roott implants in case of AIDS, cardiovascular diseases and if the patient smokes. In the case of a patient with bruxism, implantation with the described structures is also possible, but only if the patient wears mouth guards at night.
Root implantation does not contain any restrictions regarding the patient's age. But the recommended minimum age is 19 years. It is at this age that it is most effective to restore teeth, since jaw growth has already stopped.
Material for production
For the manufacture of ROOTT dental implants, titanium is used, or more precisely, a titanium alloy with aluminum and vanadium. This material is cheaper than pure titanium, and the aluminum and vanadium in the composition create a certain risk that the healing process will slow down a little - after all, these elements can be toxic and allergenic. However, in practice, rejections for this reason occur extremely rarely.
An alloy of titanium with aluminum and vanadium - ELI (Ti-6Al-4V), is a very durable substance. It is 3-3.5 times stronger than pure titanium, which makes it possible to make thinner but stronger implants from it.
Reviews
I wasn't in a very bad accident, but I managed to lose my teeth. I was so upset that they were visible. My friend scared me by saying that it would take a very long time to build up the bone and the time of an ugly and unaesthetic smile would drag on for six long months. The verdict was harsh. But I came to the dentist, where an understanding doctor suggested I get one-stage RUT implants. I was told about the many benefits of this basal implantation. You know, they convinced me. The operation was painless and quite quick. This made me especially happy. I got used to the new teeth almost immediately. They seemed stunningly beautiful to me. My teeth look very natural. So now I don’t remember the accident.
I consider root implants a real breakthrough in the field of dentistry. They not only satisfied all my desires for a painless process and cheap installation, but in the end I received high-quality and reliable teeth. No wonder the dentist at the clinic described these implants to me like that. They are wonderful. After the operation, the rehabilitation period did not cause me any unwanted troubles. Thanks to the developers. Now teeth can be restored quickly, effectively and inexpensively.
I have already resorted to dental implantation, but my teeth were restored with completely different designs. And my last tooth was done with roott implants. The difference is noticeable. Firstly, the price. It was not possible for me to find big money for teeth. Besides, this was not my first tooth done. And roott were quite affordable and acceptable for me. Secondly, it is the speed of the procedure and the entire complex treatment. I say, as always, in comparison with other implants. I spent little time at the dentist during the implantation procedure and did not recover from the operation for long. In addition, the recovery period was quite easy. Thirdly, the procedure itself caused little trauma to the oral cavity. This cannot be said about third-party implants. Fourthly, I am very pleased that the manufacturer provides a guarantee. In addition, doctors claim that implants will be worn for life.

Review of ROOTT dental implants (Root) – models, features, comparison with other brands, prices
Switzerland is home to several brands of dental implants. Some of them are widely available throughout the world, others are supplied to a small number of countries. The latter includes the ROOTT brand, whose implants are installed exclusively in a limited number of clinics. But in our country these are generally isolated dentistry offices. Next, we’ll tell you in more detail what Ruth implants are, as well as their features, pros and cons, and compare the company’s products with other brands.
What are the advantages of the brand
When prosthetics of the lower dentition with the ROOTT system, a positive result is observed in 98% of cases, when replacing teeth in the upper jaw - in approximately 95% of cases. The higher percentage in the lower jaw is due to the fact that the bone tissue here has a higher density. Installing implants in the upper jaw is problematic due to the fragility of the tissue.
The advantage of the system is that with this brand, when using basal implants, the risk of developing peri-implantitis, an inflammatory process around the structure that occurs mainly in smokers or in patients with periodontitis/periodontal disease, is reduced. The absence of risks of developing such a pathology is explained by the fact that implants are installed deep into the basal layer of bone tissue, where bacterial microflora that settle on the gum mucosa cannot penetrate.
Reimplantitis in the photo - inflammation of the gums, reduction of bone tissue and exposure of the dental implant
Bacteria do not penetrate the implant because the neck of the denture is long and polished, while other dentures are short and located immediately under the mucous layer, where the greatest accumulation of pathogenic microflora is noted. However, it is difficult to attribute this merit to this particular brand - after all, Oneway Biomed was the first to prove, and the International Implantology Foundation confirmed it, that installing just such models of implants (with a smooth surface) can significantly reduce the risks of peri-implantitis. And the ROOTT company, in fact, only repeated it.
So, to summarize, ROOTT implantation, reviews confirm this, has a number of specific advantages:
- a fairly wide range of models: you can choose the type for a specific situation;
- absence of contraindications inherent in other types of prosthetics - smoking, age 65 years and older, diabetes mellitus;
- the likelihood of injury to soft and bone tissue is minimal;
- the risk that the prosthesis will be rejected by the body does not exceed 3-4%;
- 25 year warranty;
- the cost is lower than for other types of prosthetics, but the quality is much higher.
Warranties and prices
Root implantation has long been synonymous with Swiss quality due to the excellent quality of the products. If installed correctly, implants will last indefinitely, despite the official 10-year warranty. Installation of 1 Root implant costs 40-45 thousand rubles, together with a crown - 60-75 thousand, which depends on the material (metal-ceramics or zirconium dioxide). We invite you to appreciate all the advantages of truly high-quality, safe implantation, which is carried out by doctors with extensive experience in this field and who give a full guarantee for their services.
