Rajan Dental Malo Clinic has introduced a new dental implant treatment for fixing artificial teeth in the lower jaw.
Gunaseelan Rajan, medical director of Rajan Dental Malo Clinic, said the new technique - Trefoil Dental Implant treatment - was introduced in USA a year ago. “In this, we can fix the teeth using three titanium implants. Earlier, we had to use at least four to eight implants,” he told reporters on Friday. Using three dental implants with pre-fabricated titanium framework, the treatment can be completed with fixed artificial teeth for the lower jaw within 24 hours, while conventional implant treatment might take longer.
“As the procedure is done in a short time, the cost is also low. It is a light-weight denture,” he added. This might reduce 30% of treatment cost when compared to the prevailing treatment options, a press release said.
Two patients — B. Gunasekaran, 63, and D. Sandhiya, 29, — underwent the Trefoil Dental Implant Treatment at the clinic in August. Ms. Sandhiya had lost almost all her teeth in an accident nearly 10 years ago, while Mr. Gunasekaran had to remove most of his teeth due to sensitivity issues.
