The Risks of Counterfeit Material in Dentistry

In today’s dental market, counterfeit materials pose a serious risk to both patient safety and the reputation of healthcare professionals.Counterfeiting extends beyond luxury goods, with potential fatal consequences, as highlighted in a recent FT article. The risks are particularly stark in life-or-death products such as pharmaceuticals and components in dental implants. That’s why TRS is focused on developing a patent pending implant device to detect counterfeit dental implant abutment systems and screws, addressing significant health risks for patients.

AI-Powered Detection Technology

Our patent-pending device leverages advanced AI technology to detect counterfeit dental implant components, ensuring that only authentic, high-quality materials are used in clinical settings.

Intuitive Mobile App Integration

The AI solution, paired with an intuitive mobile app for ease of use, will detect the brand of dental abutments within seconds—with high precision solving a significant problem for dentists and dental technicians. When patients transfer between dental surgeons, identifying the correct dental abutment brands can be challenging. Currently, professionals rely on dental catalogs to match existing implant components, which is time-consuming and often inaccurate.

Revolutionizing Implant Identification

Our solution will revolutionize this process by providing a faster easy operation and more accurate method of detecting abutments and analyzing the dental implant coatings and topography. By identifying the specific microstructure characteristics unique to over 200 dental implant brands, our device will give professionals a reliable tool to streamline procedures and ensure precise matching of components.

Consequences of Counterfeit Products

The rise of counterfeit products can lead to severe consequences, including mechanical failure, improper handling, and premature degradation. These counterfeit materials often lack the quality assurance and regulatory compliance required for medical devices, making them not only unreliable but potentially harmful to patients.

Ensuring Legitimacy and Safety

At TRS, our AI-powered scanner paired with an intuitive mobile app will offer dentists and dental labs a fast, reliable method to verify the legitimacy of dental implant components, allowing them to confidently avoid counterfeit products that could harm their patients or their practice.
