Getting a Glimpse of the Dental Industry -- OSSTEM IMPLANT’s Busan Production Center
-- “Creating the Future of Implant”
We visited the Busan Production Center of OSSTEM IMPLANT -- the leader in the dental industry of Korea -- to look into the future of the company.
High Precision Production in the Cleanest Environment
The production center of OSSTEM IMPLANT, which boasts of more than 40% share of the Korean implant market, has been producing more than 3 million sets of implants a year since its establishment in 1997.
The manufacturing process of implant products can be simply described as “high precision” from beginning to end. In addition, the importance of safety and precision of the implant cannot be overemphasized since it is directly applied to the human body.
Precision inspection in the mechanical processing stage is essential for implant products. The OSSTEM Production Center checks the precision of primarily processed implants through the complete inspection. The installation of a buffering agent on the entire floor area of the plant to prevent the vibration of CNC mirrors the importance of precision processing. Products that are qualified following a number of additional complete inspections are sent to the chemical processes including surface treatment.
Going through all processes, the implant products are sent to the packaging process in an environment that is kept strictly clean. OSSTEM’s know-how for maintaining the best quality as prioritized in implant production is inherent in this process.
Future Production Base for Implant
OSSTEM shapes the future of the company and implant through the “OSSTEM IMPLANT R&D Center.”
As the brain of OSSTEM, the OSSTEM IMPLANT R&D Center owns a number of intellectual property rights related to implant. The center is staffed by a total of 45 engineers, and about 8% of the total sales are invested in R&D.
OSSTEM acquired approval from KFDA for the CMP coating technique, which is commonly referred to as calcium addition. The company is preparing for production and currently concentrating on developing the new 4thgeneration implant technology. From the development of a new protein material to its application to the product, the efforts of engineers can be considered to be shaping the future of OSSTEM.
“To date, we already had great results from 4 pre-clinical tests. All we need to worry about is how to apply those results to the implant, particularly to obtain great results from clinical tests,” a representative of the OSSTEM IMPLANT R&D Center said.
