Dental Implants is a highly popular treatment modality used for replacing missing teeth.
What exactly are dental implants?
Dental Implants are basically titanium screws that serve as a replacement for the root of the tooth. These screws are surgically placed inside the jaw bone. The screws are available in various heights and widths depending on the clinical situation.
Dental Implants can be placed immediately after tooth extraction or they may be placed in intact bone. Additional procedures such as sinus lift or bone augmentation might be needed in few cases.
After placement the teeth implants are left to heal for 3-6 months. Once healed, a post is attached over the implant over which an artificial tooth is fixed.
Indications for use of dental implants
When opting for fixed tooth replacements, Dental Implants are the gold standard.
Dental Implant can be used to replace single tooth, multiple teeth to all teeth in the jaw. They can also be used to semi-fix dentures.
Advantages of dental implants over conventional treatment modalities
A major advantage of dental implants over dental bridges is that they provide fixed tooth replacement with no need to grind adjacent teeth for support.
In cases of loose dentures, suitable retention can be provided.
They help to preserve bone height and width in tooth extraction sites. Once fixed into the jaw bone, the implants transfer forces on the bone just like natural teeth. This keeps the bone healthy and prevents it from shrinking.
Types of Dental Implants
To take care of various clinical situations, a wide variety of dental implants are available.
Subperiosteal implants are placed on the bone just beneath the periosteum.
Endosseous implants are placed inside the bone.
Basal Implants are placed inside the basal bone(the portion of jaw bone below the area of tooth sockets.
