the accumulated number of
500,000 holes!
Recently, as clinicians' interest in digital dentistry increases, digital guides are more common than ever. The biggest reason is that, over the course of gradual progress of the technology, the popular view of the digital dental procedure is now deemed safe and stable to try. Since the very inception of the guided surgery concept, DIO decided to pioneer this new market with core technologies, and launched the digital guide system 'DIOnavi.' in 2014, establishing itself as the very first mover and the leading player in the era of digital dental care.
DIOnavi. created a sensation at the same time as its launch with its strengths in the accuracy, safety, and convenience of the procedure, and was recognized for its excellence in overseas markets and continued to grow rapidly every year. The momentum did not stop, and after breaking the record of 400,000 holes last year, it achieved the record of placing 10,000 holes in a month. And on July 27, DIO wrote a new history of the digital guide system by reaching a record of placing over 500,000 holes.
Above all, the accumulated number of holes in the DIOnavi. is recognized as the best solution to be accurately identified in any clinical case, based on the data accumulated over the years, along with 500,000 of these accumulated holes.
DIOnavi. has many advantages, but among them, unmatched high accuracy is the key. In particular, the drill tube differentiated from other companies is the key secret to DIOnavi.'s drilling precision. DIO's drill tube plays a decisive role in preventing to shake to the left and right direction during drilling. DIOnavi. has developed into the current system with improved surgical accuracy by sequentially releasing 7mm, 9mm, and 12mm long tubes optimized for the anterior teeth.
DIOnavi., which focuses on the accuracy of the procedure, has been spreading rapidly. Since 2014, the number of holes to be implanted has increased significantly every year, and from 2016, when the launch was announced in overseas markets such as China and the United States, the rate of growth is increased remarkably every year. DIOnavi., which quickly broke through 400,000 holes last year, has already broken through about 80,000 holes this year, reaching 500,000 holes in less than a year. DIO is expected to make about 150,000 holes this year alone, and it is expected that the cumulative number will exceed 570,000.
In 2018, DIO launched the digital edentulous treatment solution 'DIOnavi. Full Arch' based on DIOnavi.’s high precision, opened a new path for the treatment of edentulous patients. In the meantime, edentulous cases have been classified as being difficult for clinicians to access because of difficulties in prosthetics and limitations in treatment options. In response, DIO has completely resolved these concerns and ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch' was introduced.
‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’ is an edentulous solution that reconstructs the oral cavity of edentulous patients by placing 4 to 6 implants in the maxilla or mandible. Above all, it has distinct characteristics of being able to perform guided surgery with CT and scan data and place precisely manufactured temporary prostheses on the day of surgery. On top of that, the entire process of surgery was completed digitally, including the production of the final prosthesis using temporary prosthesis data, which enhanced the degree of completion.
This full digital method not only reduced the operation time and the number of patient visits, but also solved the problems of complex impression taking and prosthesis manufacturing process in the analog method, and presents a new reference point for treating the edentulous patients with the best precision and the fast final prosthetic system.
