What is an IMPLANT?
Implant Latin October-bread is a word that means. In dentistry, replacement of lost teeth, function and aesthetically similar structures to natural teeth placed in the bone root or cylindrical structures are called implants.
Implant treatment has been developed to raise the patient’s standard of living. It is not a vital practice.
Today, Titanium is the most widely used metal as implant material. Titanium is a metal that has been used safely in many areas of medicine for centuries, with perfect tissue harmony. It does not form an antigen-antibody reaction, as in heart-kidney transplantation. Therefore, tissue rejection does not develop.
Who can IMPLANT treatment be applied to?
1-Individuals with Normal wound healing
2-Individuals who can provide oral hygiene
3-Individuals with a sufficient or adequate amount of bone structure that can be reached,
4-Implant can be applied to people who do not have a systemic barrier to Implant construction.
Can the IMPLANT be applied at any age?
In order for an individual implant to be applied, the individual’s bone development needs to be completed. Girls also complete bone development at about 18 years of age at 16-17 boys. Therefore, the implant can not be applied before this age, after this age can be applied. There is no upper limit. Adults can be applied at any age.
Dental losses of individuals depend on many causes. Gum disease, trauma, delayed treatment, or malpractice is the beginning of these. In patients who have had tooth extraction as treatment, the pull gap over time disrupts the patient’s existing closing and chewing function. Therefore, these cavities need to be treated as functional and aesthetic. There are several treatment options available for this. Today, the most popular treatment option is the Implant, which is made of tissue-compatible titanium metal materials are used. There are stages of applying this treatment. First of all, the patient’s medical history should be examined very well and wound healing should be evaluated. In individuals with Normal wound healing process and who are in good general health, clinical examination is then carried out. Clinical examination is supported by a panoramic X-ray taken from the patient or, if necessary, computed tomography. In these X-rays, whether the width and length of the patient’s bone is suitable for implant application, anatomical formations are evaluated.
At this stage, after approval is given, the implant application is carried out under appropriate anesthesia. In order for Implant application to be performed, bone development in individuals needs to be completed. For this, boys must be 18 and girls 16-17 years of age. The biggest advantage of Implant treatment compared to other prosthetic treatments is that while the implant is placed in the cavity formed by tooth extraction, other adjacent teeth do not need to be cut and reduced. Thus, the health of the other adjacent teeth is not to be played. In addition, the waiting process varies according to the brand of implant used. After placing the brandimplants we use, it is necessary to wait 6 weeks in the lower jaw and 6-8 weeks in the upper jaw for the implant to boil into the jawbone. In some cases, as soon as the implants are placed, the superstructure is done. However, some measurements need to be made in order to do this. After the implants have been placed and waited long enough, healing heads are inserted to open the implants to the oral environment. After 1 Week, the prosthetic stage is passed. In order to achieve successful implant treatment, the correct diagnosis and diagnosis should be made first and foremost, the correct planning should be made and then successful prosthetic treatment should be made.
