Dental implants have mortal enemies.

Dental implants have been widely recognized by society because they have incomparable innate advantages:

1. Improve the quality of life. Compared with traditional dentures, implant teeth are more likely to make people feel the delicacy and delicacy of food, thus improving people's quality of life.

2. The implant can protect the neighboring teeth, the porcelain teeth need to grind off the crowns of the adjacent teeth, and the implants only need to be implanted in the missing area, which will not damage the adjacent teeth.

3. The advantage of dental implant is that it can increase the retention of complete denture, implant can better fix complete denture and make it stronger; get rid of the inconvenience of removable dentures and gingival pain, foreign body sensation, odor, pronunciation caused by dentures.

4. To restore the occlusal function of natural teeth, the bite force of general dentures is only 1 > 20 of that of natural teeth, while the bite force of implants is close to that of natural teeth and can chew hard food.

5. Maintaining healthy alveolar bone and using traditional dentures for a long time can cause alveolar bone atrophy. Implanting implants in the edentulous area can increase the bone mineral density of alveolar bone and reduce bone resorption, and no dental caries will occur. (the chance of dental caries in implants is 0%)

However, although the implant teeth are almost perfect, they definitely meet their sworn enemies when it comes to cigarettes. Because of dental maintenance after dental implants, including quitting smoking.

Before dental implants, doctors also require patients to quit smoking, smoking will affect oral health, the formation of smoke-stained teeth, cigarette nicotine and other toxic substances will also have a negative impact on periodontal tissue.

Cigarettes can hinder the growth of epithelial tissue or wound healing, while dental implantation is a special process, and the gap opened during implant implantation needs to be healed. Oral experts say that the wound healing ability of normal people decreases with age.

The report shows that the wound healing ability of 50-year-old smokers is only equal to that of 68-year-old non-smokers, which means that the wound healing ability of smokers is less than 30% of that of non-smokers. Smoking can cause inflammation around the implant and affect alveolar bone resorption resulting in dental implant failure.

If smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day, the failure rate of dental implants will be twice as high as that of non-smokers. Even if the initial implant is lucky to survive, smoking after the implant may lead to loosening of the root of the implant, resulting in poor retention of the implant and easy to fall off.

Do not smoke or drink within two weeks after dental implantation to prevent tobacco and alcohol from irritating the wound and causing infection.

Cigarettes are just one of the natural enemies of dental implants. You should also pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Don't eat spicy, hot, cold and hard food to avoid irritating the wound.

2. Brushing teeth within one week after operation can not brush the operation area.

3. Do not take glucose drugs and aspirin after operation, so as not to aggravate wound bleeding.
