Why did the implant teeth become loose after being finished?

Brother Shao old dentist, talk about oral problems ~ more than 10,000 implant teeth, spent 6 months of surgery plus revisit treatment, this process is really painful and painful, but just finished less than a year, obviously other gingival edges are quite normal, but the gingiva near the root of the implant began to atrophy, why even the implant teeth are loosened?

Because the artificial root of the implant is not protected by periodontal ligament! Alveolar bone tissue is more likely to cause damage, slowly absorb the horizontal level of alveolar bone, the gums will also retreat, just like trees without soil, the root of the implant becomes thinner and obvious, and the implant tooth will automatically fall off over a long period of time. But it does not mean that the implant teeth will atrophy and loose. The key depends on whether your gums have periodontitis. Once the alveolar bone is absorbed seriously, it will directly affect the life of the implant.

1. What if the root of the implant is loose?

Now that we know that it is caused by periodontitis, we must first treat and do basic periodontal treatment, such as tooth washing or periodontal curettage, to remove pathogenic bacteria from the tooth surface. Although the gums cannot grow back, they have controlled the degree of gingival atrophy, at least preventing the alveolar bone from being reabsorbed.

If the root of the implant is loosened for the second time, you have to do periodontal surgery and transplant other gingival tissue to cover the root. When you feel that the implant is about to fall off, it is a pity that you have to pull out the third degree loosening in time. The missing part can only be treated with dental inlay, or do periodontal surgery to repair the gums and continue to plant teeth!

2. How to prevent root loosening of implants?

In fact, it is in the prevention of periodontitis, after dental implant surgery, in addition to post-care also need regular check-up! In general, the nearby gingival tissue will be more fragile, in the brush implant abutment should be more careful not to damage the gingival tissue, try to choose a soft-haired toothbrush, do not bite too hard food, otherwise the crown may collapse, or even the implant is loose, which is why the doctor before dental implantation will be more strict on your bone problem.

Therefore, the root loosening of the implant is nothing more than the fault of periodontitis, which determines whether the root of the implant is closely combined with the alveolar bone. As long as the gums are maintained regularly, an implant can last for about 40 years.
