What is a dental implant passport?
Direct answer
A dental implant passport is a traceability document issued by the implant's manufacturer and handed to the patient after surgery. It records the exact implant system, diameter, serial number and lot number placed in the jaw. In Albania, Dental Med Austria in Tirana issues one with every implant, verifiable directly with manufacturers such as Straumann.
What the passport records
- The implant system placed (e.g. Straumann BLX, ETK, Biodem)
- Diameter and length of the implant body
- The unique serial number assigned at production
- The lot / batch number of the manufacturing run
- Date of placement and the issuing clinic
With those identifiers, the exact component in your jaw can be verified directly with its manufacturer — by you or any dentist, in any country. That is what makes the passport a medical document rather than paperwork: it carries continuity of care across borders, decades and dentists.
Which clinics in Albania issue an implant passport?
Practice varies from clinic to clinic, so ask any clinic you are comparing whether the manufacturer's implant passport is handed over with the implant. Dental Med Austria in Tirana issues one with every implant it places — across the Straumann, ETK, Biodem, Alpha-Bio and DETECH systems — as part of its documented traceability workflow.
How can I check my implant's serial number?
Quote the system, serial and lot number from your passport to the manufacturer or its distributor in your country, or hand the document to any dentist — the identifiers are standard across the profession, so the check works in any country.
