The implantation technology of artificial teeth was invented by the professor of the per-Ingvar Branromark and was first applied in 1965. This invention has produced a real revolution in the field of dental prosthetics. Since then, dental implantology develops with seven-mile steps. To date, the service of formulation of artificial teeth offers many clinics around the world, including in Russia.
Installation of implants has several advantages over standard prosthetics. First, implantation does not affect healthy teeth, at the time, the prosthesis installation involves seriously calculating the neighboring teeth, and sometimes the removal of the nerves of them. Secondly, the atrophy of bone tissue is significantly reduced (due to the full load on the jaw). Thirdly, the implant is indistinguishable from the real tooth - it solves both the problem of aesthetics and the problem of deformation of the gums. And most importantly - durability, artificial teeth serve as 10-12 years old, after which the crown replacement is possible.
However, there are a number of conditions under which implantation is impossible. These are various oncological diseases, diabetes mellitus with a noncompensated blood glucose level, disease of the cardiovascular system, etc.
Two-stage implantation
This approach has long become classic. It is the most proven and safe. Dentist surgeon for the first session sets titanium rod. After installing the rod, a long period of implant adheated - it takes about 3-6 months, then the patient is set to the abutment - an intermediate between the rod and the crown - and the crown itself. There are many types of crowns: from metal ceramics, zirconium dioxide, metal-plastic, etc. Alternatively, some clinics offer the installation of integrated crowns with screw fixation on the rod. In fact, the crown and abutment are combined into a single design, screwed to the implanted pin.
Installation of temporary crown
A temporary crown is a plastic design designed to form gums, and sometimes - for loading the implant for the period of its adheated to the bone. The installation of such crowns allows you to solve the aesthetic problem - the patient does not need to walk with a "hole in the mouth" for several months. The crown forms the natural contour of the gums, eliminates the formation of so-called "black triangles" - gaps between the implant and neighboring teeth. Moreover, eat food becomes more comfortable. After the period of the implant adhesion, the temporary crown is removed, a constant crown is made.
Single-step implantation
This technique implies the removal of the tooth and the implantation of the new one for one visit the dental clinic. Such an approach is especially relevant when replacing the front teeth or when replacing several in a row. There are several varieties of simultaneous implantation:
- installation of a temporary crown;
- installation of the gum shaper;
- embedding implant completely.
The gum shaper allows you to preserve the natural dispersion of the gums to the formulation of the abutment and constant crown.
This technique reduces the time before the new tooth appears and reduces the number of surgical interventions and, accordingly, stresses for the patient.
Laser implantation
Laser implantation is nothing more than a marketing move. The difference from the classical approach consists only that the incision for the installation of the implant is carried out by a laser, and not a scalpel. No significant advantages this technique has no.
3D - technology
The development of computer equipment made it possible to create tools for scanning the oral cavity followed by modeling. This allows the dentist to work in detail the course of the operation, taking into account the unique features of the patient's jaw device. With the help of computer 3D modeling, implants can be installed and create crowns, ideally corresponding jaw architecture. Unfortunately, not many clinics have such equipment.
Modern dental practice shows the growing popularity of dental implants. Durability, aesthetics and fast installation of artificial teeth - these qualities allow implantology to develop and achieve large results. Today, the dental slogan "new teeth in a couple of days" is not a fiction or some kind of deception.
