What are teeth?
Teeth are solid structures, similar to bones in their composition, implanted inside the jaws, and the tooth consists of parts, namely:
- The core of the tooth: This is the cavity within the tooth containing the nerves and blood vessels.
- Ivory: is the part surrounding the heart of the tooth.
- Enamel: It is the one that wraps the ivory, in the crown area (the prominent part of the tooth).
- Root: The part that is implanted inside the gums of the jaw, surrounded by so-called dental mortar.
The teeth may be exposed to many diseases and problems, such as tooth decay, and sometimes these problems may lead to the loss or loss of some teeth, so many people resort to the placement of mobile or fixed dentures, and there are also those who resort to dental implants.
What is dental implants?
Dental implants are one of the most dramatic developments in the field of dentistry. It is a good way to compensate for tooth loss and is done by placing dental implants in place of lost teeth. The success rate depends on the good cold of the jaw bone, the degree of sterilization of the tooth, And mastering the placement of dental implant in place, and knowledge of the axis of tangled with other teeth.
And why is this method considered the best, despite the possibility of putting the dentures?
Dental implants are best because:
- Dentures are subject to movement while chewing food or speech, so they cause atrophy in the jaw bone, while the implanted teeth remain as fixed as natural teeth, thus preventing the atrophy of the jaw bone.
- Cultured teeth maintain healthy teeth around them, because dental implants do not need to carve the surrounding teeth.
- The implanted teeth are as fixed as natural teeth, they do not move during eating or speech, and thus restore the confidence of the person and his smile.
- But how is dental implants performed?
Dental implants are performed in three stages:
- The first stage : The appropriate places for implantation of the jaw are first identified, processed and then implanted, and the teeth are made of titanium metal.
- The second phase : This is called bone marrow fusion, which takes three months for the lower jaw and six months for the upper jaw.
- third level : The external teeth are placed on the teeth so that they appear in the natural teeth.
As for the success or failure of this process, we can say that with the continuous progress in the field of dentistry, this process is successful most of the time, having a success rate in the lower jaw 95% and 90 in the upper jaw.
