Today's questions are the following:
Who can recieve a dental implant?
The ideal candidate for dental implantation is in a good general health condition, has good oral hygiene, and a correct maxillary arch. This area needs to be completely healthy and free of any inflammations. In case there is periodontal disease or there are carious teeth in the mouth, these must be treated and healed before the implantation may begin. With the newest methods even the amount of bone may be increased, if necessary. There are certain diseases, illnesses and habits that require consideration: diabetes, hemophilia (bleeder's disease), usage of certain medicaments, smoking, etc. Only after a thorough examination can it be decided if the patient may undergo implant surgery.
What are the risks of implant surgery?
Implant surgery requires local anesthesia. The side-effects of anesthesia can be prevented with due foresight. In some cases the trauma of surrounding organs is possible, but with careful planning and good surgial technique the risk of this is minimal. The rejection of the dental implant is very seldom, the possibility of this to happen is under 2%. In case of good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, the rejection of the dental implant is nearly impossible.
How are dental implants planted?
The planning and implementation of implant tooth-replacement requires great care and awareness from the dentist and the dental laboratory technician. First of all the surgeon must be informed of the general health condition of the patient, the illnesses of the patient, and about the medicaments used to treat these. This is followed by a thorough dental examination. Essential x-rays and radiographs are made in every single case. Impressing is also necessary. After all these the dentist decides if dental implants may be used by the patient. During the operation the patient is under anesthesia. The mucous membrane is opened, and the place of implantation is prepared in the maxilla. The artificial root is then placed into position and the mucous membrane is stitched together. The implant is kept covered this way during the recovery period of 3 - 6 months. During this time the bone overgrows the root and the implant infiltrates perfectly into the jaw. A temporary replacement may be used under the recovery time to assure an aesthetic look. After the operation smaller facial swellings may appear, but major pain is unlikely. Naturally regular control examinations are needed. After the recovery period the dental implant is made free and a superstucture is attached. An impession is made whereof the dental laboratory technician creates a sample model and then the prosthesis. Fixing the prosthesis into the mouth is again the dentist's job.
