Dental implants are a permanent replacement method for missing teeth. In this method, an artificial root replaces the missing natural tooth root and then other parts are installed on it. Currently, dental implant is one of the best methods of replacing lost teeth, which can be done with different methods.
?Why is dental implant important
An empty tooth space in the mouth (dental vacuum) can cause complications for the mouth and face. Below, we examine some of the possible complications of having an .empty tooth space
1.Changing the structure of the mouth and face
The presence of a dental vacuum can lead to a change in the structure of the mouth. Also, if the number of missing teeth is large, it may lead to jaw bone degeneration and will cause a change in the height of the person’s face and appearance.
2.Digestive problems
Loss of teeth can cause problems in a person’s digestive system. Without proper teeth, the process of breaking down food is not complete, which can lead to problems such as digestive disorders and nutrient deficiencies in the body.
3. Language and pronunciation problems
Teeth play an important role in pronouncing words correctly and making different sounds. The presence of a dental vacuum can cause pronunciation problems and cause difficulty in pronouncing some letters and sounds.
4. Psychological and social effects
Teeth are used to smile, speak and communicate. Dental vacuum in a person can give him an unpleasant feeling related to his appearance and will lead to negative psychological and social effects such as reducing self-confidence and avoiding social activities.
5. Creating problems and changing the shape of the adjacent teeth
The absence of a tooth in the mouth can have a negative effect on the adjacent teeth. If there is an empty space in a tooth, the adjacent teeth may lean towards the existing empty space and change their position. This can cause other problems such as scratching and erosion of the teeth.
Dental implant steps
The most important stage of dental implant procedures is implanting a titanium screw (fixture) in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth. But before and after this stage, there are other stages that we will explain in order.
Examination and consultation stage
The first stage of a dental implant is an examination and consultation from a dentist specializing in implants. The dentist will evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums and determine if a dental implant is right for you. One of the best centers for dental implant placement and consultation is Dr. Shahram Esaadi’s clinic, located on Shariati Street, Tehran, with the website address drshahram.com.
Surgical stage
If dental implants are suitable for you, the dentist will perform the surgery. In this surgery, a titanium screw called a fixture is placed in the jaw bone. This screw is welded to the jawbone and creates a base for the artificial tooth prosthesis.
Abutment installation stage
In general, the implant has three main parts.
fixture
abutment
Dental prosthesis
After the fixture is implanted in the jaw bone, a piece called abutment is installed on it, the task of which is to connect the fixture to the prosthesis. The abutment is usually made of titanium or other alloys compatible with the human body.
molding
After the surgery, the dentist takes a mold of your mouth. This mold is used to make dentures.
Installation of artificial teeth (prosthesis)
Dentures are usually installed a few weeks after fixture implant surgery. This artificial tooth attached to the abutment replaces the missing tooth.
Types of dental implants
In general, there are two types of dental implants, which are called endosteal and subperiosteal implants, and each of these is divided into several different methods. In the following, we will explain each of these cases.
Endosteel implant
Endosteel implant is a titanium screw that is implanted into the jawbone. This screw is welded to the bone over several months and becomes a base for the dental prosthesis. A dental prosthesis can be a crown, a bridge or a complete prosthesis.
Periosteel implant
A periosteel implant is a metal plate that is placed on the jawbone. This plate is attached to the bone with screws and then the artificial tooth is placed on the plate.
Differences between Endosteel and Periosteel implants
An endosteel implant is implanted into the jawbone, while a periosteel implant is placed over the jawbone. This means that an endosteal implant is more stable than a periosteal implant and is less likely to dislodge
An endosteel implant requires more surgery, while a periosteel implant requires less surgery. This means that the endosteel implant has a longer healing period.
Endosteel implant is more expensive than Peristeel implant.
