The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides dental implant testing services that evaluate the performance characteristics of various types of dental implants. Millions of people worldwide have dental implants, and their popularity continues to grow as people recognize how dental implants can help them improve their ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. While dentist offices may be the ones who install these implants, independent labs such as ATS play a crucial role in the implant’s development. We conduct comprehensive tests to ensure that dental implants are durable, safe, and effective, which helps our clients gain quicker access to markets, allowing them to get their products to those in need.
What are Dental Implants?
Surgeons install dental implants in the jaws of patients with injured or diseased teeth that must be removed and replaced. The implants often consist of the following parts, an implant body and abutment, a crown, and a screw to hold each of the components together. Dental implants mirror the appearance and functionality of natural teeth, but the implants must undergo extensive testing to ensure their ability to do so.
About Our Dental Implant Tests
Our medical device testing laboratory evaluates dental implants’ durability, mechanical integrity, and biocompatibility. Our team of experts utilizes advanced testing techniques to ensure that dental implants perform as expected under specific conditions while also ensuring they comply with standards and regulations issued and enforced by the ISO and FDA. Our dental implant testing services comply with the ISO 14801 standard.
ISO 14801 Explained
The ISO 14801 standard specifies a test method for experts conducting fatigue tests of pre-angled endosseous dental implants. While the testing procedure can provide some insight into how an implant performs under “worst-case conditions,” it cannot predict the real-world performance of an implant. Instead, the standard’s objective is to establish an effective way to compare how implants of different designs and sizes compare to one another.
