QUESTION & ANSWER
- DENTAL IMPLANTS
-
Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed in the place of teeth lost for any reason and function as roots, providing retention and support for fixed and removable prostheses.
The closest approximation to natural teeth in improving the functional, aesthetic, phonetic and psychological status of patients with a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth or complete edentulism results are achieved with dental implant treatments.
Implants are placed in the jawbone by specialized dentists in sterile environments with a small surgical procedure. Approximately two to three months after this procedure, the implant is completely attached to the jaw bone. After these stages, the implant, which replaces a real tooth root, becomes capable of carrying the prosthesis to be placed on it. - BONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CRITERION IN IMPLANT APPLICATION
- In order for the implant application to be performed, first of all, the bone structure and gums that will support the implant must be healthy and in sufficient quantity. Quality and quantity of bone structure the number and localization of implants should be determined by different radiological examinations such as panoramic, dental tomography, and after proper planning, the number and localization of implants should be decided.
- CONDITIONS WHERE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BONE MASS
-
In cases where there is not enough bone, implants can be placed with additional bone surgery applications and the success rates of these applications are quite high.
• Bone augmentation
• Artificial bone graft application
• Sinus lift
• Autogenous block bone graft
different applications such as these can be applied according to the indication. - SUCCESS OF IMPLANTS
- The success rate of dental implants is 95-98%. In this success, correct planning, application of the correct surgical protocol, correct material selection, prosthetic the presence of superstructures and timely controls are very important.
- CARE AFTER IMPLANT TREATMENT
- After the completed implant-supported prosthetic treatment, individual oral and dental care should be taken with the necessary care and attention to ensure that the implants can be used for many years without any problems. Periodic check-ups with the dentist should be done regularly.
