What does dental implant mean?

The dental implant is a medical metal device which is introduced into the bone to replace the missing root. Inside, it has a thread in which the new tooth will be screwed. Dental implants are the treatment preferred for missing teeth, giving support for all or part of your teeth.

What is the dental implant made of?

The raw material used for implants is titanium.

Why titanium?

• Because this metal oxidizes instantaneously in contact with air forming on the surface a film of titanium dioxide which establishes a bivalent bond at the molecular level with the bony tissue, meaning that titanium is a bio compatible material
• The titanium's strength is comparable to the one of special steel, only that it's lighter
• It's imposible to corrode
• Acceptable as price

All these qualities make it the proper material to be used in oral implantology.

Advantages:

• Esthetics
• Long lasting and easy to use
• Comfortable
• Maintains the teeth healthy
• Economic

How is the implant inserted in the gum?

Very simple

• The gum is cut off , the jaw bone is pierced and the implant is screwed with a key, then the gum is sewed over the implant
• During a period of 3-4 months the implant is observed to get better fixation
• After this period the manufacturing of the tooth can begin: moulding, technician, fitting it and in the end cementing it

Problems

The problem encountered in the case of implants is the inadequate hygiene of the patients. A patient wearing a dental implant must be aware of the fact that keeping the implant means to take real good care of the gums around it.

Surgical treatment in periodontology onsists in coming the tooth's gum unstuck, meticulous cleaning of the bacteria and the tissue produced by it, filling up the empty space after cleaning with natural or synthetic bony substances, covering up these substances with protein gels which stimulate the ropes' recovery.
