Dental implants are metal peg (wedges) made mostly of titanium that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The peg is very stable and it then sets the crown thus receives artificial tooth with a very natural look. The implant actually replaces the root of the lost tooth, which it will be able to set a crown. Dental Implants can replace one, several or all teeth in the mouth. Can be used as leverage for a single tooth or fixed bridges, partial or complete dentures.
Dental implants are very successful way of replacing teeth because of their bone integration, which is the natural process by which bone tissue overrun implant and it’s practically implanted in the bone. This gives a very solid foundation for the artificial tooth which allows normal chewing and speaking.
The new technique of virtual surgery and bone upgrading or replacement of atrophic jaw parts fully offset the advantages that have been on the side of the bridges. Titanium bolts with spiral surface firmly anchor artificial dental root in a jaws that there are spaces for teeth, so the durability of implanted tooth is raised enormously. Studies show that the likelihood of a ten-year survival of implants with crown or bridge that carries accounted for 97% while the wick placed on the tooth after ten years is persisted in 87% of cases.
If missing bone substance, what occurs when teeth are thin due to lack of teeth? The situation is complicated, however, be dealt with taking bone from elsewhere or adding artificial bone and so replenish lost bone mass. Unlike the last time we knew that talks to chew solid food due to lack of teeth or weak bridges do taboo today implants to replace lost teeth have become a status symbol.
Due to the relatively low cost, bridges and are now considered standard therapy in the treatment of individual lack of teeth. However, neighboring, even completely healthy teeth must stick to each other so that, in fact damaging to the two healthy teeth to be set to a missing tooth. It certainly is contrary to the expert rule that says that the highest purpose in dental practice is to keep the teeth healthy. For a single tooth is paid each fight. Where the tooth is missing, there is no loading of the jaw and it atrophies.
The effects of aging are evident when due to bone loss of the jaw, lips become thinner and narrow, and the tip of the chin takes a position as if it wants to move forward.
A single tooth implantation procedure is quite simple. For starters, X-ray diagnosis is required. Before you decide to place implants conduct diagnostic tests: models, X-ray images. First X-ray picture is seen if there is enough room for implants, if the bone is strong enough and massive and whether it is necessary to add new bone where it is planned implant. And computer tomogram is required to be good to decide on the positioning of the titanium wedge.
Surgery for placement of implants is performed outpatient under local anesthesia. The procedure consists in cutting and picking gingival tissue and exposing the bone. Placing carefully making whole in the bone, this precisely corresponds to the length and diameter of the implant body. Once the implant is placed, gingival sew tissue above (returns place, reposition) around the implant. Patients well submit the intake and postoperative complaints are insignificant.
