Health Status for Dental Implants - costofdentalimplant.com

Xenografts and other augmentation materials based on granules do not provide initial stability of the implanted graft. In order to stabilize these types of grafts in the defect and to prevent particle migration, the dentist often use a membrane.

Xenografts and other types of granular materials that are either non-resorbable or are slowly resorbed are used in cases where a longer period of time or space maintaining is required, such as lateral augmentation, vertical sinus lift or any defect that is larger than 10 mm with less than three wall bony support. The outcome is bone repair rather than bone regeneration. However, in order to obtain optimal and complete bone regeneration, it is necessary to use a space maintainer with a resorption manner that matches the bone formation rate.

Missing a tooth or teeth for most people can be a problem as normal contour, function, comfort, esthetics, and speech are compromised. With continued advancement in the dental field, challenging clinical situations is now a reality with a predictable success rate.

The most natural option to replace a lost tooth is to use an implant. Dental implant is a replacement tooth that is recognized as the standard of care for tooth replacement. There are numerous advantages of this treatment modality over any other prosthetic restoration such as FPD (fixed partial denture aka “bridge”) and RPD (removable partial denture).

When a tooth is lost, it’s best to consider implant replacement as early as possible to prevent bone loss. Without the natural tooth to stimulate the jaw, one starts to experience bone loss underneath it. The bone that used to support the natural tooth will begin to shrink, just like the “use it or lose it” phenomenon. Imagine a 200 lbs. body builder who completely halted his training after some years, do you think he will still look the same? Of course not! Same as the unstimulated bone, the bone volume decreases as time goes by, causing the face to look prematurely aged. By placing dental implants, not only it provides preservation of facial bone but also it provides foundation for replacement teeth that will look and function like natural teeth. Hence, many people are rediscovering the joy and comfort of having to eat and speak well once again!

Candidates for Dental Implants

Dental Implants can be placed in most adults who are in good to moderate health. They are not typically placed in adolescents until they have reached their full expected physical maturity. If you feel implant dentistry is the treatment of your choice, we suggest you go through an implant consultation in order to review your medical & dental history and diagnostic aids (such as radiographs, computed tomographic scans, models) and verify periodontal stability by means of clinical and radiographic assessment. The trained dentist can determine the best treatment plan for you. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor to explain the benefits and risks to see if tooth replacement with implants is best fit for you.

If you have been told that you don’t have enough bone to hold the implant, grafting and augmentation procedures are done to regenerate and improve the lost bone and gums to safely place an implant.

Today’s Dental Implants

The modern dental implant is a titanium screw and abutment that is anchored into the jawbone where it serves as a post for custom-made tooth crown. Dental Implants are available in several different designs, addressed according to your specific needs. A single tooth, several teeth or entire arch can be replaced by dental implant.

Dental implants are rigid compared to natural teeth and if an attachment is used between the prosthesis and and natural tooth, the stresses generated from occlusal forces are primarily loaded onto the implants. As a result, the following could be present:
1. The implant fixture may be overloaded resulting in failure.
2. The natural teeth may undergo disuse atrophy, affecting the supporting tissues more rapidly than under conditions of proper loading.
3. It is also possible that the natural teeth are overloaded, leading to extraction type forces that result in tooth loss.

Dental history is an important part in implant treatment. This includes information gathered during mouth examination.

1. Evaluate soft tissue condition.
2. Evaluate remaining teeth condition.
3. Evaluate edentulous areas.
4. Evaluate present occlusion.
5. Evaluate for temporomandibular disorders.
6. Evaluate for parafunctional habits.
