Peri-implantitis

Posted Jan.01, 2012 under Complications and Maintenance

Peri-implantitis is among the two primary causes of implant failure in later stages. A correlation between plaque accumulation and progressive bone loss around implants continues to be reported in experimental studies and studies. Tonetti and Schmid reported that peri-implant mucositis is really a reversible inflammatory lesion limited to periimplant mucosal tissue without bone loss. Periimplantitis however starts with bone loss around dental implants.

Clinical options that come with peri-implantitis were referred to by Mombelli as including radiographic proof of vertical destruction from the crestal bone, formationof a peri-implant pocket in colaboration with radiographic bone loss, bleeding after gentle probing, possibly with suppuration, mucosal swelling, redness with no discomfort typically.

One Stage Dental Implants

Posted Dec.14, 2011 under Dental Implant Surgery, Single Stage

The evolution of dental implant related treatments in this era took its origin from the work of Branemark, who scientifically validated the entire process of placing an implant into bone, waiting a period of time for that bone to heal towards the implant, after which long-term functional loading adopted. Throughout the 70s and early 80s, a 1 stage threaded titanium plasma covered dental implant was adopted for overdenture retention with immediate loading. Also know as Swiss screw, the plasma coated dental implant was place into the anterior mandible and led to excellent long-term success. Other one stage implant systems were slow to emerge, but as they were proved with supporting data, the idea of a 1 stage endosseous dental implant therapy acquired credibility. The Strauman system has long-term data, showing that the one stage unloaded dental implant system can function in most regions of the mouth in distinction using the Swiss screw and also the Branemark methods.

Computer Aided Dental Implant Treatment Planning

Posted Nov.28, 2011 under Dental Implant Surgery

Modern implantology increasingly focuses on the reduction of treatment time and postoperative impairment while providing function, esthetics and comfort with a minimally invasive surgical approach. The advancement of 3D dental diagnosis by computer tomography allows precise planning for the surgical placement of dental implants that are prosthetically driven. The precise transfer of preoperatively determined implant positions to the patient’s mouth is of utmost imporatance to the dental practitioner as well as patients.

Prosthetic driven treatment planning and guided implant surgery can now be performed with the use of CAD-CAM surgical guides – from a single missing tooth to a completely edentulous jaw. Computer assisted / – guided / – aided implantology has been found to overcome the errors commonly encountered during implant site preparation and aid in positioning the implants more precisely.
