Introduction to Tooth Implants

Article Category: Medical Business

Author Name: Zaheed Patel

A loss of a tooth or a number of teeth can be devastating to some. Not only does it alter the appearances of individuals, it can also impede the overall function of the mouth as a whole. oftentimes the missing teeth can be replaced by dental prostheses like dentures, however these are temporary and can easily be removed or lost.

A dental implant, also known as a fixture, a tooth implant or an endosseous implant, is a dental accessory that connects to the maxillary bone or mandible to reinforce a bridge, a crown, a facial prosthesis or a denture and acts as an orthodontic fastener.

The foundation for contemporary tooth inserts is a natural activity commonly known as osseointegration. This is a process wherein materials such as steel or titanium are integrated into the bone and subsequently form a bond with it.

Before a dental prosthesis is attached, the tooth implant must first be attached to the bone. The process of osseointegration takes a considerable amount of time and may depend on the patient. The abutment and dental prosthesis of choice will be attached after the implant has totally bonded with the bone.

The glorious success, or devastating failure, of implantation is dependent on the overall health and wellness of the individual receiving the procedure. Drugs and nutrition can also affect the health of the oral and skeletal tissues, thus affecting the chances of total osseointegration.

Individuals who opt to undergo the process of installing tooth implants should have healthy bones and gums. However, there are cases wherein individuals undergo a number of dental procedures to meet the prerequisites of the procedure.

Once functional, the implants will be subjected to a considerable amount of stress. Thus, tests are done beforehand to assess and evaluate the amount of biomechanical forces that a client's mouth can generate, particularly during the process of mastication. The dentist also determines the quantity and position of implants to be installed, thereby ensuring that the tremendous forces are evenly distributed all throughout the mouth. Dentists use CAM/CAD simulations, stents and Computed Tomography Scans to determine the appropriate position and angle of a tooth implant.

The dental prosthetic of choice can either be permanent (the dental prosthesis is fixed to the implant and therefore cannot be removed; fixed with cement or lag-screws) or temporary (the prosthetics can be removed and attached when needed; attached using an adapter). In both cases, an abutment is installed to the tooth implant.

The danger and complications associated with dental implants either occurs during the actual procedure or takes place after the procedure. Common complications that happen during the procedure are nerve injury and bleeding. Peri-implantitis, inability to completely osseointegrate and mechanical failures are common complications that occur after surgery.

The lifespan and durability of an implant is highly dependent on an individual. Considering that he has healthy teeth and gums and the implants are properly installed, the implants could last for 12 to 15 years. It is also important to note that proper hygiene and dietary practices play a big part in the longevity of any dental material. They can increase, or decrease, the lifespan of the implants and the prosthesis they hold.
