Nowadays, modern dentistry has reached certain heights and losing a native tooth is no longer an irreparable situation. One of the most progressive ways is implantation. With technology improving every year, implantation is becoming affordable for most people.
Unlike dentures, it will take more time to make and install an implant, but the result is worth it - an artificial tooth installed for life is no worse than a native tooth.
There are many benefits of dental implants:
- 1. Unlike dental crowns and bridges, an artificial tooth is placed for life.
- 2. This technique does not traumatize neighboring teeth.
- 3. A dental impaction can replace almost any missing tooth and restore the integrity of the entire dentition.
- 4. The implant has no limitations, it can withstand the same chewing load as the native tooth.
This procedure still raises many questions and myths about implantation, although it has been practiced by dentists for quite some time. In this article we will tell you more about what types of implantation exist today.
Intraosseous or endosseous implantation
The most common and often used. This method is considered the most reliable and, if there are no contraindications, it is used. Implantation is divided into several stages.
First, the implant itself is placed by implanting it into the bone. At this stage, a temporary crown is placed.
Secondly, after 4 months, if the implant has successfully engrafted and there are no complications, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent crown.
There are also one-piece implants that can be placed in a single visit to the doctor. The structure in this implant is one piece, so if it needs to be replaced, it will cause some difficulties. It is rarely used.
2. Basal dental implantation
This type of implantation is used when the amount of bone tissue is insufficient and it is impossible to restore it. Basal implantation involves placing the implant deep in the jawbone. It is often prescribed to patients when it is necessary to restore a large number of teeth or the entire row of teeth.
The installation technology is different from the previous one. Instead of an incision, a puncture is made and the placement is done by screwing. With this implantation, crowns can be placed immediately.
There are several other cases of implantation, but some are outdated and others — rarely used.
