missing teeth
Replace their missing teeth: dental implants and risks.
The dental implantA dental implant is a screw, usually made of titanium, a surgical procedure to insert into the jawbone where it replaces the root of the missing tooth. A dental prosthesis is then secured to the artificial abutment. The implant technique can replace a single tooth, to fill a larger or smaller gap between two teeth, or fix a denture in an almost toothless jaw.
There are 2 types of dental implants, those attached to the jaw (juxta-bone) and those in the jaw (endosteal) are by far the most used. The generally cylindrical shape may also have a cone shape, disk, blade ... Their diameters usually range between 3 and 5 mm and length between 10 and 15mm. This variety matches the diversity of the jaw and the clinical cases encountered.
A dental implant is not indicated or is not the best solution for each patient or patient. A professional assessment of each case by the dentist plays a key role in an implant treatment. As part of a detailed analysis before the start of treatment, the dentist examines and evaluates the mouth situation (mucosa, teeth and jawbones) as well as the general state of the patient or the patient, to assess the risks and minimize complications.
Diseases
Among the risk factors during an implant treatment, there are diseases that negatively influence bone formation and healing (eg poor health, diabetes mellitus often loose), diseases which can be influenced in a negative way by an implant operation (eg endocarditis, heart valve replacement, organ transplant, joint replacement, rheumatism) and damage to the bone as a result of radiation and / or chemotherapy and certain mental illnesses (p .g. depressions).
Medical and dental jaw problems that are not treated before or parallel to the implant treatment (eg periodontitis, untreated diseased teeth or necrotic, remnants of roots, pathological changes of the mucosa, local inflammation and chronic bone) or certain drugs ingested by the patient, can also negatively influence treatments implants.
Surgery
Any surgery has some risks, upon implantation, similar to a surgical extraction of a tooth. Most often encountered bleeding, swelling or bruising. To contain these risks, we must clean up the condition of the mouth of the patient or the patient prior to implant placement, that is, the mouth should be in a completely healthy state. With the help of a professional planning the surgery and at an unbeatable and most sterile operating conditions, the dentist ensures minimization of postoperative complications.
Healing phase
In rare cases, implants can be lost due to an infection or excessive mobility during the healing phase. Optimal oral hygiene and rinsing of the mouth helps to minimize the risk of infections. In addition, an appropriate implantation by a specialist ensures firm integration of the implant into the bone without early release.
