Periodontal implants give you a third set of teeth

There are only two sets of natural teeth in human life: deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. If a deciduous tooth is lost, it will grow into a permanent tooth, but if one permanent tooth is lost, there will be one less, so it can not be regenerated. However, due to the lack of awareness, the tooth loss rate of the elderly in China has always been high, and 10% of the middle-aged and 74-year-old people aged 65 to 74 have been "gloriously laid off".

The loss of natural teeth has a great impact on health. Studies have shown that missing teeth can not only cause malnutrition and deformation of nearby teeth, but also affect head and neck muscles and cause soreness. Therefore, the repair of missing teeth should be paid attention to by the middle-aged and elderly.

With the development of science and technology, traditional dental inserts and removable dentures have been increasingly unable to meet people's pursuit of quality of life. Dental implant has become the first choice for more and more patients with missing teeth because of its similar function, structure and aesthetic effect to natural teeth. It is also known as the third pair of human teeth.

Dental implants are more suitable for the elderly.

Most of the patients with missing teeth have had the experience of wearing dentures, but the traditional dentures are not satisfactory in restoring masticatory effect due to the restriction of technical conditions. With the development of oral medicine, experts from all walks of life do not recommend the use of traditional dentures to repair missing teeth, because of the emergence of dental implant technology, the gap of missing teeth can be better made up.

Due to the implantation of pure titanium biological root with strong bone fusion in the missing tooth area, the implant tooth has no damage to the adjacent teeth, because the tooth root is more stable and durable than the traditional denture, and can restore the normal masticatory function to the maximum extent, and the bite force reaches 98.8% of the normal tooth.

It is understood that implants can grind less or not their own real teeth, and the masticatory function of implants is much better than that of many traditional dentures. The implant has strong retention and stability, but it can take root in the patient's mouth like real teeth, prevent bone attraction and preserve your alveolar bone. Dental implants are necessary bases and clasps that do not require movable dentures, and there is no taste dullness and discomfort caused by a large area of plastic base. The implant teeth are small, metal-free and beautiful, which is conducive to keeping the oral cavity clean and hygienic. These are the advantages of dental implants.

Rong Ming Lantern also said that dental implant surgery is a smaller alveolar surgery, similar to tooth extraction, the use of local anesthesia, less trauma, postoperative food can be eaten, almost painless. In general, implant implantation can be completed in tens of minutes to hours. Due to the selection of biomaterials with excellent compatibility with the human body, dental implants do not have any adverse side effects on the human body. Even if the osseointegration of the implant fails, the method of replantation can be improved after removal, or it can be changed to a common denture.

Three kinds of questions are most suitable for dental implants.

Dental implants are increasingly favored by patients with its unique advantages most similar to natural teeth. Although the one-time investment is slightly higher, it has higher curative effect and longer service life. Generally speaking, the following three situations are more suitable for dental implant treatment:

1. The loss of a single tooth. At this time, if you do removable denture restoration, you need to use dental hooks or dental braces, affecting beauty and pronunciation, and it is not convenient to use. If you choose to fix the dentures, you need to grind off part of the healthy dental tissue of the adjacent teeth on both sides.

2. There are no real teeth behind the missing teeth. At this time, the effect of the traditional tooth insertion method is not ideal.

3. Complete or half teeth are missing. Using the traditional method, with the increase of age, the upper and lower alveolar bone atrophied seriously, affecting the restoration of complete dentures. Excluding the following diseases, implant restoration can be carried out: there is sufficient bone mass in the alveolar bone of the missing teeth in the oral cavity, and there is no periodontitis, diabetes and other serious oral diseases. no kidney disease, heart disease, blood coagulation disorder, mental disorder, infectious and bone metabolic diseases and so on.

The risk of minimally invasive tooth implantation is low.

Rong Mingdeng pointed out that many patients are afraid of dental surgery and think it will cause damage to teeth and bones. He said that at present, dental implant surgery has been carried out with minimally invasive means.

As a minimally invasive dental implant technology, it must include minimally invasive concept and minimally invasive technology. It is obviously different from the traditional dental implant technology, the operation is more accurate and reliable, lower risk, less trauma, faster recovery and so on, whether physically or psychologically, strive to reduce the trauma of patients to the minimum.

In order to achieve this, we must have advanced examination equipment and auxiliary means as the premise, from patients' oral conditions to dental mold analysis, to accurately and fully measure the bone bed where teeth are to be planted, such as using advanced 3D printers to quickly make three-dimensional dental molds and three-dimensional analysis of teeth and jaws. Using the cone bundle CT equipment for dentistry, we can fully understand the height and hardness of the dental bone, the height of the dental bone at the base of the maxillary sinus, the diseases in the maxillary sinus, and the distribution and trend of the important nerves and blood vessels of the maxillary and mandible, etc., through the above complete data to select the appropriate specification and quantity of the dental implant system, and accurately determine the expected position and direction of the artificial dental root implantation. If necessary, a special template for dental implant surgery can also be made by computer navigation technology to minimize the risk of operation.

In addition, although the minimally invasive dental implant technique is a minimally invasive operation, it is not suitable for every patient, and it also has some corresponding contraindications, such as serious systemic diseases, uncontrollable or uncontrolled periodontal diseases, and so on. Therefore, whether patients can undergo minimally invasive dental implant surgery must also be carefully evaluated by professional implant dentists.

How long is the dental implant operation time and treatment cycle respectively?

The time of the implant operation varies according to the number and location of the implant, which is basically completed within 1-2 hours. After the implant was implanted, in order to improve the bonding strength with the alveolar bone, the maxilla was restored after 4-6 months, and the mandible was repaired after 2-3 months. However, it needs to be decided according to the status of oral health, which varies from person to person.

Is there an age limit for dental implants?

In principle, there is no age limit for dental implant surgery, and many elderly patients with missing teeth have undergone dental implant surgery. However, before dental implantation, patients should be given necessary blood tests and electrocardiograms to fully evaluate their health. For elderly patients with poor alveolar bone conditions, dentists can implant bone before dental implant surgery to increase the height and width of alveolar bone, so that the postoperative alveolar bone of elderly patients can fully meet the requirements of dental implantation.

Can dental implant operation have sequelae?

If the pain does not disappear 10 days after the operation, you should consult your doctor. It is normal for a small amount of blood oozing to occur after the operation, but if there is still bleeding after 1-2 hours, it should be treated immediately. When the gums are swollen, the implants are loose, and you still feel paralyzed after the effects of the anesthetic are relieved, it is best to consult your doctor.

How long can the dental implant be used?

The time is determined according to the state of the patient. Compared with ordinary bridge crowns, the life span of dental implants is much longer, which mainly depends on the health status of patients. Oral hygiene, or smoking and drinking too much, can lead to inflammation of the tissue around the implant, thus affecting the life of the implant.
