Tooth died. Long live the tooth!

God gives man the teeth twice, both times - in childhood. If during the life of a person is not able to preserve this precious gift, to help compensate for the lost implantologists

Dental Implantation - a method of implanting the place of the missing tooth artificial (titanium) design, which plays the role of the root. This dental prosthesis consists of two parts: the implant itself - titanium screws introduced in the jaw, and the abutment - the upper part connectable after a period of healing. On top of all this splendor is crowned with the crown of the cermet. And here it is - the resurrected from oblivion alive tooth, almost no distinguishable from its natural "neighbors".

Adequate replacement

Of course, the implantation - is not the only method of prosthetics. But - the best. And not only because such structures - the most durable (stand for 10 years or longer). And not even because this method allows you to keep intact adjacent healthy teeth, without facing them, as when installing the bridge.

The most important advantage is that the implant can only be an adequate substitute for the living tooth as takes care of all its functions. In particular, the roots are able to create artificial mouth same pressure on surrounding tissue that natural teeth, preventing the decrease of bone tissue, which inevitably occurs under the "curtain" part of the bridge.

With this method it is possible to "grow" Any number of teeth. Additionally, implants help to fix the "bridges" - artificial limbs long-haul (and removable and semi-removable dentures).

You are not standing!

The first stage of treatment - examination of the patient: oral examination, assessment of general health, the removal of diagnostic casts. Then - X-ray: orthopantomogram (panoramic picture of the jaws) sighting shots teeth requiring treatment. Next, the doctor selects the type of prosthesis, based on the state of the patient's dentition. Then - turn to work with diagnostic model missing teeth recovered from a wax or plastic. If everything is in order, "engineering design" the work can be finished and get to work "live", that is to implant itself.

It usually comprises two operations, although there is a one-step procedure .  The first step is to excision under local anesthesia the gums, implant placement and suturing the gums .  The abutment is often attached to the implant immediately, but during a second surgery, occurring in 2-3 months in the mandible and 3-6 months - on top .  In this period the patient can set temporary dentures .  During a second operation in the prosthetic gingiva incision, the implant healing abutment is screwed, which in turn quickly changed to the abutment .  But it subsequently put the crown, the latter procedure does not require anesthesia or any surgical procedures .  Postoperatively, the patient, depending on the amount of operations for 3-5 days can be a slight swelling of the gums .  At this time, to avoid overheating, as well as hypothermia, as well as strong physical exertion .

Tooth mythology

Dental implants are popular all over the world. However, in Russia to this method of prosthetics many still are incredulous. Is there any reason for fear and doubt?

Myth . If one day there was the rejection of the implant, implantation of a person is not suitable.

true . If rejection occurred most likely doctor something left out. This is not a disaster. After a while, everything can be repeated again. To minimize the risk, you need to carefully look for the doctor and the clinic, which will prosthetic. It is better not to go to the new clinic, and go to those that are known in the market more than 10-15 years. Or you can find a reputable doctor, better - a specialist in this field. To do this you need to collect information on the Internet, but better - ask the friends who have set themselves the implants and happy with the result. However, we must look for those people who have artificial teeth are at least 3 years, because in the course of the year hold on almost any design, even the palest hue. It is for this reason you should not too inspired, if the clinic promises to provide a guarantee on their work for a period of 1 year.

Myth . Implants are unreliable and often do not take root in the jaw.

true . Thanks to modern equipment and technology that happens very rarely. According to the medical literature of the world, take root implants in 96% of cases. The reason for failure is most often a failure to comply with physician examination or treatment protocol. Or revaluation doctor of their own capabilities or capabilities of the patient.

Myth . For implantation of a huge number of contraindications.

true . For this method there is practically no limitations. Even diabetes, which until recently was considered an absolute contraindication for implantation, is no longer a categorical obstacle - just such patients require more attention. However, if the doctor to whom you have come, not even interested in the state of your health, and immediately offers to business, you need to escape from this place.

Previously, when the patient has insufficient bone implantation zone, it is no longer able to implant artificial tooth. It is now generally used augmentation technique or by using bone taken from the patient, or by means of special biomaterial. In addition, today's product range of any manufacturer have implants of different diameter, which makes it possible to choose the size that will reduce the percentage of rejection to zero.

Nevertheless, the implantation is not for everyone. People with poor oral hygiene, as well as smokers better to not to resort to this method - they have the speed of recession (outcrop) above the gums. After implantation, (as well as after the classic prosthetics) to care for their teeth even more thoroughly than before: in addition to a toothbrush should be used dental floss, brushes, oral irrigators, and so on. D.

Myth . Implantation is much more expensive than any other dental prosthesis.

true . Not always. For example, if a person is not only one tooth, it can put a bridge for three crowns. Or only one implant. But the "bridge" will serve less time, and besides, abutments, retaining prosthesis on itself over time can not overpower the load, and then would have to spend prosthetics. A lifetime of quality delivered by the implant is practically unlimited.

Myth . All implants were identical, although there are different.

true . Today there are more than 60 manufacturers of imported implants. There are models of different price categories: economic (15-22 ths. Rub.), Medium (up to 45 ths. Rub.) And high (50 ths. Rub.). Expensive and high-quality models, of course, better. But in principle it is possible to put the prosthesis and the budget, as long as it matches certain criteria: had a moderately aggressive thread and quite a rough surface, and would not be smooth and polished - or in the bone tissue it does not take root. It is also important that the implant was performed technically correct junction of the upper and lower part of the prosthesis. But the patient is not necessary to understand these subtleties - the main thing to find a doctor to whom he trusted and who could clearly explain why it is necessary to put it is this, rather than other implants.
