Nine teeth cost 160,000 yuan, why are you so expensive to grow your teeth?

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 4th. Huang Xi, 49, has planted 8 teeth and spent more than 90,000 yuan. This price is to compare it repeatedly. The price of a private clinic is discounted.

The reporter from the Yangtze River Daily recently visited the survey and found that whether it is tooth nourish or dental implants, you will be asked if you enter the dental clinic when you enter the dental clinic? "

What makes people unexpected is this question for decades unchanged. What is the truth behind the "Polying tooth Planting and Fangs"? Will dental implants change this situation?

On September 2nd, the National Medical Security Bureau publicly released information stating that it will comprehensively consider the opinions and suggestions of all parties, and carry out the special treatment of oral planting medical services and consumables as soon as possible.

It costs 160,000 yuan to plant 9 teeth.

"To be imported or domestic? The import price is high, but the quality is good." Huang Xi, who was engaged in financial work, clearly remembered what a well -known public dental hospital dentist said to her 3 years ago.

Huang Xi needs to plant 9 teeth. If you use imported materials, the average of 16,500 yuan per number. The diagnosis shows that Huang Xi's tooth bed bone is not very good, and bone powder needs to be added. Various expenses have reached 160,000 yuan.

Because the price was too high, Huang Xi found a dental clinic after weighing the helplessness, coincidentally, the attending doctor was from the well -known dental hospital from the above.

In this clinic, the same imported materials are used to discount 8,000 yuan after the price of the preferential price. Coupled with other expenses, Huang Xi had 9 teeth for 4 operations, and spent a total of 92,000 yuan. During an interview with the reporter, she had planted 8 teeth.

Huang Xi recalled that this private clinic recommends imported materials. German materials are 14,000 yuan per dental and 9,800 yuan each tooth for Korean materials. This cost does not include additional bone planting costs.

Her alveolar bone is not very good. Put a bone powder 900 yuan, 4 times is 3600 yuan, and two alveolar bone implant materials are added. Each 3,500 yuan, two are 7,000 yuan.

"Whether the material was imported, I didn't know. At that time, the two dental implants had discomfort. When I returned to the factory, I found that they were not from the same manufacturer." Huang Xi told reporters.

Huang Xi liked to eat sugar when he was a child, and did not insist on brushing his teeth every night. He had a lot of teeth and could only eat porridge and noodles. For more than ten years, she has been fighting her disease.

From the tooth to the movement of the dental tooth to the dental implant, pain and discomfort always wrapped around Huang Xi. Every time Huang Xi looks at her teeth, she will be asked whether the materials want to import in the public dental hospital or private clinic.

Like Huang Xi, because she was afraid of pain and expensive, Ms. Hu hesitated for two years before she planned to make dental implants. After inspection of the free dental CT (electronic computer fault scanning) provided by the dental clinic, she found that she had a sick teeth to make up.

"Replenish teeth are imported or domestic materials? Domestic 220 yuan, imported 320 yuan." Ms. Hu did not hesitate to select the replenishment materials as imports, and another teeth that needed to grow made her hesitate.

Ms. Hu recalled that Mr. Zhong, the person in charge of the clinic, told her: "The main difference between dental implants lies in implants. Each of Sweden is 11,500 yuan, the preferential price of the United States is 7,500 yuan, and each of South Korea is 5,800 yuan. Brand implants 11,500 yuan, crown 3680 yuan, special offer 11,500 yuan. "

Ms. Hu recalled in an interview with reporters that Mr. Zhong tried to sell foreign brands, saying that the clinic implant was not domestic. In addition to the price of dental implants, in addition to the material, it depends on the conditions of the alveolar bone. The amount of bone must reach 10 mm.

Passionate sales of imported materials originated from tempting profits

"Many people are unwilling to try domestic -made." Mr. Zhong explained that he tried to promote the import implant.

Mr. Zhong said that the originator of foreign implants is a Swedish brand, and the surface treatment technology is very advanced, so that the implant and alveolar bone can be combined well. However, in the short term, domestic and imported implants cannot see obvious technical differences. At present, the implants mainly use imported materials, but the crown is basically domestically produced, either ceramic or porcelain.

"The word" import "has become the brand of dental clinics and is a manifestation of vicious competition." As the owner of a dental clinic in Hankou, another identity of Luo Peng is dental dealer.

In Luo Peng's view, the use of implant imports or domestic production has become a marketing method in the industry. In the case of patients who do not understand, the gap between imports and domestic dental materials is large, but this is not the case.

Luo Peng believes that today's supplementary dental production materials can basically meet market demand. In the past, the quality of imported materials exceeded domestic production, but it was really not necessarily.

Luo Peng said that domestic products are only lacking brand effects, and imported dental materials cannot be worth that money, mainly selling "blood", at least 95%is not as good as bragging.

Luo Peng as an example: Oxidation materials, the United States calls Zekang oxidation, and Europe is called Lavan oxidation. Domestic and foreign dental materials are similar. A few materials have special indications. For example, there are many types of color oxidation of imported materials.

"Is it domestic or domestic? This kind of tooth supplementary teeth last last for at least 30 years." Luo Peng calculated that domestic implants are not high, there are not many users, and there are many high -prices of imported materials. The reason why it is not changed for decades is not only market factors, but also the strong capital and scientific research support behind imported products. The expert article "40 Years of Chinese Oral Planting" published in 2019 published in 2019: One of the biggest problems in the oral planting industry in my country is that more than 90%of dental implants used in clinical use originated from Imported, the price remains high. The reason for the first is that the processing process of domestic products needs to be further improved.

Stomatology is one of the most important high -tech achievements of dental medicine in the 20th century. Chinese oral planki is also "born of reform and opening up and promoted by reform and opening up."

According to reports, dental implants, as a lack of dental repair technology, are considered to be the first choice of dental dental dental dental dental functions, and less foreign body sensing because they have the advantages of not damaging neighborhoods, good dental function recovery, and less foreign body sensation. Planting a tooth, the main materials include implants (titanium nails), crown, etc., and the costs include implants, planting cornerstone, crown, anesthesia, suture repair, surgical costs, CT fees, etc. Some institutions have predicted that China's dental implant market will exceed 320 billion yuan by 2030.

A dental consumable dealer, who is unwilling to disclose the name, told the Yangtze River Daily that in the domestic implant market, imported brands accounted for about 90%. Although the price is high, the profit is also richer.

According to this dealer: Represented by Switzerland's ITI, BICON in the United States, and ASTR of Sweden, a single price (including surgical fees) in domestic public medical institutions is from 10,000 to 15,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan between. Low -end implants are mainly in the South Korean Deng Teng brand. The price (including surgical fees) of a single public medical institution in China is about 5,000 yuan to 5,500 yuan. Coupled with the crown, from porcelain to imported all porcelain, the price ranges from about 1,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan.

"The cost of planting dental implants with imported materials can easily exceed 20,000 yuan each, and the price of consumables only costs thousands of yuan." The dealer said.

For imported implants, Luo Peng believes that it is mainly the patient's lack of knowledge of technology. He also said: "Dental doctors must return to the essence of medical technology, and they cannot blindly market and import materials for the import of imports for profits."

The difference between Chinese and foreign materials can not be seen at all

Twenty years ago, domestic dental materials were backward, which made You Zhixiong, who was studying in Japan. In October 2013, You Zhixiong returned to the School of Resources and Environmental Sciences of Wuhan University in his alma mater, and aimed the research and development targets to the dental material -hoping to make the soil lose the soil through his own efforts.

You Zhixiong led the team to repeat a thousand trials, and eventually received the biological -grade oxide material they wanted -strong, beautiful, durable, and safe. In the eyes of You Zhixiong, the oxidation of the oxidative teeth they made is not only high in strength, but the teeth made are translucent transparency, as well as the warmth of jade.

At that time, the oxidation of the domestic market was mainly provided to the Chinese market for Japan, with a price of 3 million yuan per ton. You Zhixiong directly sets his Topux biological oxidation price at 300,000 yuan per ton. "Theoretically, it can provide Chinese people with cheap and good -quality Yiya products."

With the efforts of domestic dental material manufacturers represented by You Zhixiong, the dental materials imported from Japan have now dropped to 600,000 yuan per ton, while domestic oxidation materials accounted for 80 % of the domestic market. You Zhixiong, a 52 -year -old, told the Yangtze River Daily that he hoped to further reduce production costs to 100,000 yuan per ton, further conducive to consumers.

You Zhixiong introduced that in the research and development of color powder (oxidation powder), it expands from 48 colors to 51 colors and can be compared with similar imported products. "The richer the color of the color powder, the more realistic the dentures."

You Zhixiong revealed that because the quality of the product is high and cheap, the materials developed by the team have opened the international market. Now 30%of the annual biological oxidation yield is exported to South Korea and Russia.

The reporter saw in the production workshop of Wuhan Lianhe Revival Technology Co., Ltd., located in Optics Valley, and was filled with personalized dentures of various 3D printers printed.

There are two ways to produce a denture, one is 3D printing, and the other is traditional printing. Both methods must eventually be done by manually polishing the magnetic to ensure the smoothness and color of the denture.

A customized crown requires more than ten processes to leave the factory in 5 days. In the hands of the oral technician, the customization of each tooth takes half an hour. In the process, first give the tooth shape from the tooth bed that is poured down from the patient's mouth, and then start making a crown.

In the view of the oral technician Shu Dongxue, there is no exactly the same teeth. At first glance, the dental groove and dental edge are different. It needs to be polished a little. Crown.

Whenever the dentist's feedback of the patient's opinion is "very realistic", Shu Dongxue feels a sense of accomplishment. "Each teeth have a personal aesthetic, with unique forms and functions. The form determines the function, the function reflects the form, and the shape and color of the denture reflect my technology." Shu Dongxue said. Oral technician Shu Dongxue manually polished the pile of magnetic dentures based on the order. Reporter Yang Jiafeng Photo

Xiong Biao, the person in charge of Wuhan Lianhe Fuxing Yiyi Technology Co., Ltd., believes: "The ingenuity of the material used to make the crown can completely replace the import, and the quality of imports is similar to the domestic quality."

Xiong Biao introduced that in recent years, domestic dentistry has improved rapidly, and digital and intelligent are used in the production field, such as 3D printing crowns, making righteous teeth more beautiful, durable and comfortable. A lack of teeth, the color of the teeth is close to the color of the surrounding teeth is the best. Simple white teeth are not the main goal pursuing the pursuit of the tooth, so the magnetic magnetic is important, not the imported material itself.

Xiong Biao told reporters that in recent years, domestic brands, including implants, have risen, and the proportion of imported materials has gradually declined, but import brands are still more expensive. At the same time, the import of oxidation materials is about 1,000 yuan more expensive than domestic. To say the difference, the appearance of the naked eye cannot be seen at all.

"What should be asked is how to make a replenishment technology, not whether the dental material is imported." Luo Peng introduced that the small dental implants are also customized, and it is impossible to plant in batches, especially the crown and implants, involving colors and occlusion. All rely on customization, profits are the highest in the industry, but technology is often invisible. In the West, dentists and dental technicians can divide a profit of dental implants.

Experts remind you not to let small dental disease drag a large dental disease

What made You Zhixiong think of is that his raw materials not only broke the monopoly in Japan, but also forced the price of imported dental materials to decline significantly, but consumers could not clearly feel the price reduction of tooth supplementary teeth.

Last year, You Zhixiong took his son to the dental hospital to plant teeth. "Want to import materials or domestic?" You Zhixiong persuaded the doctor's good words and insisted on using domestic materials. In his opinion, domestic dental materials are not different from abroad.

"Perhaps some materials are produced by myself, but after the sales chain, I don't know where the dental material comes from, I can only listen to the marketing of Dentist." Although it was finally used domestic materials to plant teeth, You Zhixiong spent 10,000 Diverse.

This also allows You Zhixiong to think: Planting tooth supplement should be in line with reality. This kind of consumption behavior is not daily consumption. The information of both doctors and patients is asymmetric. Most people will not study a dental material to make up for a teeth.

In order to increase his product recognition, You Zhixiong deliberately did a little higher in product packaging, so that people can see at a glance as their brand. But he found that customers do not need their product labels at all, and even want to let employees know where the raw materials come from.

You Zhixiong found that their dental materials are often mixed with foreign products and even pretended to be imported. "The difference between reality and ideals is far, not the price of raw materials is reduced, and the cost of replenishment can be reduced."

"'Want to import or domestically produced?' It reflects the real price and satisfies the patient's right to know." Chen Zhi, president of the Hubei Provincial Stomatology Society and Deputy Dean of Wuda Oral Hospital, said that the price gap between imports and domestic prices is large. Dare to use good implants, it is easier to reflect quality and quality, rather than choosing general implants, so dentists often ask patients.

Chen Zhi believes that behind this reflects the country's insufficient research and development investment in the oral field. In particular, implants mainly depend on imports, and in a short period of time cannot be fully replaced. At present, most of the dental implants are imported implants, and domestic implants are basically in the imitation stage. The crown is basically domestically produced, and the quality is also cleared, which can resist part of the cost.

"Looking at teeth is often dragged out." Chen Zhi analyzed that some Chinese did not pay attention to dental diseases. In the past, it was allowed to develop. There was no intervention treatment. The disease is dragged into a large dental disease. For example, dental caries are covered by medical insurance, and you can get it in 200 yuan, but many times the development of it, dragging into pulpitis, has to do root canal treatment. At this time, only a part of it belongs to medical insurance, and the cost requires 2,000 yuan. At this time, it is necessary to plant dental implants, and the cost is 20,000 yuan. From the beginning of 200 yuan to 20,000 yuan, minor illnesses finally dragged into major illnesses, especially middle -aged and elderly people.

Chen Zhi said that the current consumables in public hospitals are already zero bonuses, and implants are not absolutely left and right, but only a part of it, and the implementation of collective mining may be reduced.

Earlier this year, the Executive Meeting of the State Council clearly expanded the coverage of high -value medical consumables, and the dental implants that were concerned about the masses were carried out at the national and provincial levels.

On August 18, the National Medical Security Bureau issued the "Notice on the Price of Oral Planting Medical Service Charges and Consumption Price Governance (Draft for Solicitation)" for public opinion ". Special governance.

On September 2nd, the information released by the National Medical Security Bureau revealed that about 60%of the feedback and suggestions of feedback supported special governance. A considerable amount of feedback believes that the price and consumable cost of dental implants should be controlled within 10,000 yuan. There are also some opinions that emphasize price reductions, hoping to drop to about 3,000 yuan.

The reporter noticed that some people left a message, "Don't let the pension enter the pocket of the dental hospital" "I hope to collect as soon as possible, and I want to wait for the price to reduce the teeth."EssenceMany doctors and corporate practitioners also left messages to express their support saying that "chaos in the field of dental implants, this governance plan has been caught in the focus."The National Medical Security Bureau stated: "In the next step, we will comprehensively consider the opinions and suggestions of all parties, modify and improve the" Draft for Soliciting Opinions "as soon as possible, and organize implementation."
