Implants Applying

Implants are tissue-friendly materials in the form of screws that are placed inside the jawbone to support prostheses that will be made to replace teeth that have been lost for various reasons. With implant applying in dentistry, dental deficiencies can be eliminated with a fixed prosthesis or the use of a mobile prosthesis can be made more comfortable. Factors such as the patient's expectation, bone volume, oral hygiene and anatomy of the jaw are evaluated when deciding on the use of a fixed or movable prosthesis.

Many factors such as the patient's oral hygiene habits, anatomical structures, bone quantity and bone quality are evaluated with a clinical examination and X-ray before implant applying. The amount of bone in the toothless area where the implant will be placed is very important. Since the amount of bone in the toothless area will decrease over time, it should not be waited for a long time for implant applying after tooth loss. With the implant, bone resorption due to tooth loss will disappear. Implant planning and applying times vary depending on the time elapsed after tooth loss.

Implants that serve as a tooth root are placed inside the jawbone and wait for an average of 3 months to fuse with the bone. According to the planning made later, measurements are taken for the prosthesis to be designed on the implant, and the prosthesis can be started to be used in a short time after the necessary rehearsals.

The most important advantage of prostheses made with implants is that it allows you to complete the lack of teeth on other teeth without the need for any processing. Especially in patients who do not have support teeth for the use of bridge prosthesis, implant is the most comfortable option. The problems caused by the use of prostheses with insertion and removal can also be solved by making an implant. It is possible to make a fixed prosthesis with the use of a sufficient number of implants even in patients with a large number of missing teeth or even in patients who do not have any teeth.

In which cases can the implant be applied?
An implant can be made for single tooth deficiencies, long spaces without teeth, in cases where there are no teeth on the backmost side of the jaw, and in patients who do not have any teeth.

In which cases is the implant not applied?
Some systemic diseases cause obstacles to implant applying, especially when it is not under control. The course of the disease in cancer patients, patients with bone resorption, patients with advanced organ failure, risky heart pathologies, patients with uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes, and many other conditions, and whether it will cause obstacles to implant applying are evaluated by specialist doctors. In cases where there are any risk factors for making an implant, alternative treatment options are recommended to patients. In addition, implant applying is not preferred in patients who smoke /alcohol excessively, pregnant women, under 18 years of age, patients who do not have sufficient bone quantity and patients with poor oral hygiene.

Is having an implant a painful procedure?
During the implant applying, a complete numbness is provided in the area to be performed with local anesthesia. For this reason, it is not possible for patients to feel pain during the operation.

How does it go after the implant?
With the methods we have applied together with the developing technology, the pain experienced by patients after surgery has been minimized. Thanks to the antibiotics and painkillers prescribed to the patient after the operation, the procedures performed can be easily tolerated by the body. After the implant, patients can continue their daily lives.

What are the things to be considered after the implant is made?
Medications prescribed after the operation should be used regularly, and if there are other medications used, the doctor should definitely be consulted. To minimize the occurrence of swelling and pain, the ice given should be applied at intervals of 5 minutes during the day. After the operation, habits such as smoking/alcohol should be avoided for at least 1 week. If bleeding occurs in the form of leakage, it should not be spat out. In the first days, movements such as vigorous shaking, pulling the straw quickly should be avoided. Granular, spicy and hot foods should not be consumed, they should be carefully brushed with a soft toothbrush so that there is no accumulation of food on the seams.

Is there an age restriction for implant applying?
The implant can be applied at any age after the growth and development is completed. Implant treatment can be performed in every individual over the age of 18 as long as systemic and anatomical factors are at hand. There is no upper age limit.

How long is the life of implants?
The success of the implant depends on many factors such as smoking, oral hygiene, bone quality, systemic diseases, and the brand of implant used. It is a form of treatment that has shown a high long-term success rate in clinical trials. In order for the implant to last a long time, the patient's general health should be good, there should not be too much smoking/alcohol consumption, oral hygiene should be good, along with factors such as the correct diagnosis, diagnosis and treatment should be applied.

IMPLANT FOR SINGLE TOOTH DEFICIENCIES:

In case of single tooth deficiencies, a single tooth crown prosthesis is performed without shrinking neighboring teeth with the appropriate distance and implant applying in the presence of bone. In this way, while providing an aesthetic that is compatible with neighboring teeth, the protection of other teeth is ensured.

IMPLANT IN THE ABSENCE OF THE LAST TOOTH:

When patients do not have teeth to be supported at the last end, it is not possible to make a bridge using the front teeth. In this case, there are two options. Movable prostheses, popularly known as palate, can be used or dental Decontamination can be eliminated with implant treatment.

BRIDGE OVER THE IMPLANT:

There is no need to make one implant for each tooth deficiency. Bridge prostheses can be made on implants that will place them in the appropriate position.

IMMEDIATE IMPLANT APPLYİNG:

This is the process of immediate implantation after tooth extraction, if appropriate conditions can be achieved. This can be done after infection and removal of teeth that do not have a cyst at the tip of the root. Both tooth extraction and implantation are performed in one session.

ALL ON FOUR/ ALL ON FIVE/ ALL ON SIX TECHNIQUES:

It is the making of a fixed prosthesis with the applying of 4 to 6 implants in a jaw where not all teeth are present. In traditional implant treatment, 8 implants are applied to a jaw without any teeth, while in this technique, a fixed prosthesis can be made using 4 or 6 implants by placing the implants at an angle when appropriate conditions can be provided. The prosthesis used is in one piece connected to each other. It is difficult to build.

IMPLANT-SUPPORTED MOVABLE PROSTHESES:

These are systems in which a movable prosthesis is used using at least 2 implants in the lower jaw and at least 4 implants in the upper jaw in case all the teeth are missing. With the use of these systems, patients are able to use the mobile prosthesis more comfortably, eat more comfortably, and the prosthesis is prevented from moving.

IMPLANT STAGES

» Clinical examination and radiological examinations of the patient are performed.
» Consultation is taken from specialist doctors in cases where it is necessary regarding his general health.
» The amount of bone in the area where the implants will be made is measured digitally, and the future prosthesis planning on the implant is planned according to the patient's wishes.
» If necessary, oral hygiene is corrected before, necessary procedures and tooth extractions are performed.
» The area to be implanted is numbed with local anesthesia.
» Screw-shaped implants are placed in the slot that opens into the jawbone. Stitches are placed on it to cover the gum.
» The stitches are removed after 1 week. The time required for the jawbone to fuse with the implant (average 3 months) is expected.
» At the end of the waiting process, measurements are taken for the prostheses to be made on the implant, rehearsals are performed, and implant-supported prostheses are started to be used in a short time.
