Dental implants
Dental implants are a common and useful way to compensate for missing teeth. They are designed in a way that is compatible with other teeth in the mouth. Dental implants are surgically supporting bones in the upper or lower jaw bone, act as a strong foundation for the tooth to be implanted, The dental implants are made of titanium, which stimulates the implantation of the implant in the bone without feeling the body as a foreign body. Dental implants have advanced to a success rate of 9% or approximately 8%. Bone marrow transplantation takes a few months to complete, and dental implants are not decaying and do not affect adjacent teeth as in fixed bridge cases. Dental implants are preferred for oral and surgery for best results. The implant works of the root of the real tooth, and is left for 3-6 months to complete the process of docking with the bone, and then the artificial tooth is installed on the implant in case of confirmation of stability in the bone. The patient may suffer from pain and a little bloating in the days of the process of implanting, and describes the doctor in this case, sedative and advised the patient to eat soft foods, and it must be noted the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of dental implants and teeth that are installed on them, the patient must clean brushing and medical dental thread.
Benefits of dental implants
There are many benefits to dental implants, the most important of which are the following:
- Improving overall appearance: Dental implants appear to be natural teeth, and because dental implants are embedded in the bone, they are permanent.
- Improved pronunciation: Compared to moving kits that can slip out of place and difficult to speak.
- Feeling comfortable: Because implants look like part of the human body and are therefore more comfortable than moving kits.
- Easy to eat: Since dental implants work like natural teeth, and enables the person to eat food that he loves with confidence and without pain, reversing dentures, which are difficult to eat and chew food.
- Easy to maintain the cleanliness of the mouth and teeth: the neighboring teeth are not affected by the presence of implants, as in some types of bridges that need support for neighboring teeth, and this provides a better opportunity and a greater area of cleaning between teeth.
- Prolonged longevity: Lifelong implantation may last for a lifetime and may be conserved.
- Re-ability to smile and feel good about yourself.
Appropriate conditions for implantation
Dental implants are not an appropriate choice for all people. The candidate for the transplant must be healthy and there must be enough bone in the jaw. This amount of bone is required to stabilize the implant. Implanting is not an appropriate option for people suffering from it. Of chronic diseases such as diabetes and leukemia, due to the slow process of healing, and smokers also suffer from slow to heal, and heart patients and people who have radiation treatment in the head and neck to assess their condition before the start of implanting. It is important to emphasize that the person who is nominated for the transplant has a healthy gums, teeth, and regular dental visits.
Causes of implants failure
As in all cases of surgery, dental implants need careful planning. It is necessary to ascertain the health of the person, and to confirm the presence of blood diseases, or any type of infections, or allergies, and the types of drugs taken by the patient to deal with these cases. In spite of the high success rates of dental implants, the few failure rates are due to problems such as inflammation, a fracture of the dental implant, a heavy load on the dental implant, or a defect in parts surrounding the implant, such as the destruction of a blood vessel or nerve or age next door, the other things that lead to the failure of dental implants, implant placement in an appropriate place, or having a bad type of bone structure and quantity of hand, it is possible to replace the old implant new ones taking into account the waiting period of time until the bone healed place of the previous implant.
Dental care
Dental implants are always at risk of peri-implantitis, a inflammation of the gums and bone around the implant. This occurs due to the presence of large pressure on the implant or as a result of bacterial infection affecting the tissues surrounding the dental implant. Failure to treat this infection may result in the loss of the implant. In order to avoid such a condition, care must be taken of the implant at home with periodic visits to the dentist. The patient should routinely clean his teeth with brush and dental thread. Prevent the accumulation of food residue around the implant and prevent the formation of the plaque as well, while in the dentist’s office, the doctor examines the soft and hard surrounding implanted tissue, as well as to remove debris surrounding the implanting special tools, and can be modified occlusion in order to relieve the pressure on the implant.
