Xiao Bian once in the article "missing teeth do not fill, beware of these hazards to find you", when it comes to the harm of missing teeth, but also mentioned three kinds of dental filling methods, the effect is relatively good dental implants. How much do you know about dental implants?

Teeth loss is common in middle-aged and elderly people. The main causes of tooth loss are caries, periodontal disease, trauma, tumor and so on. But many people suffer "toothache is not a disease""old" and other misconceptions, missing teeth are not repaired in time. More and more medical research shows that problems such as facial deformation, speech leakage, malnutrition and gastrointestinal diseases caused by missing teeth are gradually affecting the health of middle-aged and elderly people.

After tooth loss, there are many kinds of restoration methods, among which dental implants are more and more favored by people because of their good function recovery, high comfort and convenient use. They are also recognized as the preferred way of tooth loss restoration by the stomatology community, and are called "the third pair of human teeth".

Dental implants are also called artificial dental implants. They are not really planted with natural teeth. Instead, through medical methods, pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bone is precisely designed into cylinders or other shapes similar to tooth roots. They are implanted into the alveolar bone in the toothless area by surgical minor surgery. When the artificial tooth roots and alveolar bones are tightly combined, porcelain crowns are made on the artificial tooth roots. Dental implants can obtain restoration effects similar to those of natural teeth in function, structure and aesthetic effect, and have become the preferred restoration method for more and more patients with missing teeth.

The restoration time of dental implants varies according to the jaw conditions of patients with missing teeth. Patients with good alveolar bone conditions generally take 1 to 3 months, and patients with poor alveolar bone conditions may take 4 to 6 months or even a year. How to choose the type of restoration should be selected according to the local conditions and needs of the patient's mouth.

For patients, dental implants have relative indications: adults in good general condition, physical and mental health, bone and tooth development have been finalized; Oral soft and hard tissues without obvious inflammation, disease damage; Patients have clear requirements, economic conditions permit; Professional doctors for oral clinical examination, X-ray examination and blood routine examination, such as bleeding diseases, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and other systemic diseases, in the stable treatment of the disease, can accept dental implants, etc.
