Dental implants
Dental implants are the third and most recent alternative to replacing missing teeth, as this is the most successful method because it does not affect in any way the teeth and surrounding tissues. Dental implants compensate for the missing tooth roots by titanium braces. To ensure the success of dental implants, certain conditions must be met, including:
The patient should be free from some diseases that affect bone condition, such as advanced diabetes and osteoporosis.
The presence of an appropriate amount of jaw bones, as this type of bone is considered a functional type, which is often eroded when a tooth is lost, and to ensure the success of the transplant process you must first replace the missing bone, and then complete the transplant.
Checking the distance of the bone to be implanted from the nasal cavities and jaw nerves, and that is the task of the doctor, as it is evaluated by analysis and x-rays.
And of course, maintaining and maintaining oral and dental health.
How to start dental implants?
After the patient decides to use dental implants and selects the appropriate doctor, the doctor begins a complete examination of the patient’s mouth. The examination is done in a regular manner that does not differ much from the periodic and routine investigations, in addition to performing a CT scan of the jaws and panorama rays, and sometimes blood and calcium analyzes. Examination of neighboring teeth and oral health in general is very important, as a clean oral environment must be provided to receive dental implants.
The doctor warns of appropriate instructions to maintain oral and dental hygiene, and instructs the patient to adopt healthy social habits such as quitting smoking or limiting them temporarily during the transplant process.
How to grow teeth
The tooth implant consists of:
The body of the implant: It is the part that is implanted in the jaw, and it is made of completely safe and fast titanium metal that adheres to the jaw bone, and is considered the offset part for the root of the missing tooth, its diameter and length vary depending on the location and size of the missing tooth and the number of implants adjacent to it.
Shutter Pin: placed over the implant body after the completion of the implant phase.
Healing and healing cover: It is a temporary cover over the body of the implant and the shutter screw, and it remains until the date of the installation of the new tooth.
Compensating part: It is the new tooth that is attached and attached to the implant body.
How to make dental implants
Dental implants are routinely performed in dental clinics, and they are carried out in stages which are:
The first stage: The suitable place for transplantation is prepared by placing implants made of pure titanium metal in the jaw bone, in the place of the missing tooth.
The second stage: jawbone healing and implantation, and this is called osteoclastosis. This process takes six months for the upper jaw and three months for the lower jaw.
The third stage: the final formula for dental implants, so this stage includes a number of sessions to make the final combination of mouth prints and try it out for the final fixation.
Dental implants pass without pain or very slight and normal pain, which can be overcome with regular analgesic tablets. The success rate of dental implants is 95% for the lower jaw and 90% for the upper jaw. The average age of implanted teeth as determined by the doctors is 25 years.
It can last throughout life, but keep in mind the patient’s interest in his health, his dental hygiene and taking good care of it.
