The correct care of a dental implant is especially important to guarantee a long durability. Different implant systems and their construction require different care. In contrast to a dental implant, the own tooth has its own special anchoring mechanism in the bone and a higher body’s own defence. Although implants cannot cause caries, they are … The correct care of a dental implant
Periotest (synonym: tooth mobility analysis) is a device that allows measuring the mobility of teeth or implants in the jawbone. It allows an objective evaluation of the condition of bone or periodontium. Indications (areas of application) Periodontal status (status of the periodontium)Incipient damage to the periodontium (periodontium) or failure of an implant to heal can … Tooth Mobility Analysis (Periotest)
Auxiliary implants (synonyms: temporary implants, provisional implants, mini-implants, IPI for English : Immediate Provisional Implants) serve as anchoring elements for orthodontic appliances or for provisional dentures during postoperative healing phases and – unlike permanent implants – are inserted only temporarily (temporarily inserted). Auxiliary implants differ from permanent implants (permanently placed artificial tooth roots) in terms … Auxiliary Implants
In dentistry, implants are usually screw- or cylinder-shaped systems that serve to replace natural tooth roots and, after a healing period, are usually fitted with fixed dental prostheses in the form of crowns or bridges or improve the hold of dentures. Among a number of alloplastic implant materials (insertion of foreign material), titanium currently appears … Implants
Immediate implantation is when a dental implant (artificial tooth root) is placed in the alveolus (tooth socket) that has not yet regenerated bone within up to eight weeks after tooth loss. A distinction is made between primary immediate implant placement (immediately after tooth loss) and secondary implant placement, which is performed only after the soft … Immediate Implantation: Implantation directly after Tooth Loss
An aesthetic smile plays a prominent role for all of us in today’s society. Implantology, as a branch of dentistry, helps a patient with tooth loss to get artificial tooth roots, which are aesthetically restored with crowns or extended dentures. Since its introduction in Germany, implantology has been very popular with patients. As a result, … Dental Implantology: Teeth Implants
One possible procedure for bone augmentation prior to implant placement (bone augmentation prior to the placement of artificial tooth roots) is the insertion of previously biotechnologically produced autologous bone, the so-called bone chips.Tooth gaps that occur due to premature tooth loss can be closed today in many cases by implant placement (placement of artificial tooth … Bone Augmentation using Bone Chips (Bone Chips)
Surgical procedures for bone defect filling are used to regain lost bone substance in the upper or lower jaw. Bone defect filling may be required, for example, after the removal of large cysts. Special techniques are also used to prevent collapse of the alveolus (collapse of the bony tooth compartment) after extraction (tooth removal). This … Bone Defect Filling
Introduction A dental implant is a metal pin, usually made of titanium, which is inserted into the jawbone to replace a tooth root. After a generous healing phase (up to 4 – 6 months), the tooth is reconstructed on this dental root replacement, i.e. a crown, bridge or similar is placed on it. Since these … Removal of a dental implant
What are the costs of this procedure? The costs vary depending on the effort and duration of the operation. Loose implants, which are no longer anchored in the bone, for example due to chronic periimplantitis (inflammation of the periodontium, see article on periodontal disease), can be removed like a tooth with pliers. A simple anaesthetic … What are the costs of this procedure? | Removal of a dental implant
The durability of dental implants The durability of a dental implant, or how long an inserted dental implant can be maintained, depends strongly on the condition of the surrounding bone. Shortly after the operation, i.e. during the healing period, the dental implant should grow together with the jawbone. The more pronounced this adhesion is, the … The durability of dental implants
Durability in relation to bone quality Bone quality is described by various factors. It is a yardstick that plays an important role when considering an implant, as it can provide information about both the difficulty of implant placement and the prognosis. The balance between bone augmentation and bone resorption is one of the key factors … Durability in relation to bone quality | The durability of dental implants
