Implantology

Implants are titanium screw systems applied to the jawbone in order to restore the chewing and aesthetic functions of the patients to replace the lost teeth. It can be applied in single or few tooth deficiencies as well as in total edentulous mouths. The aim is to restore the chewing function lost by the patient. In implant applications, a good planning should be done first. Incorrect planning is the cause of failure. At this stage, a good intraoral examination is performed by using digital imaging methods. The general health status of the patient is evaluated together. After a correct planning, the implant is applied to the application process. In simple cases, it can be performed under local anesthesia. If it will be done in large numbers and the patient cannot be cooperative, it can also be performed under general anesthesia. The attachment of the implant to the bone surface (osteointegration) takes place by a mechanism we call. It is necessary to wait for a while for this merger to take place completely. During this period, the patient can use a temporary prosthesis depending on the situation. In this way, his social life will not be interrupted. This waiting period may vary depending on the structure of the bone and the area where it is applied. After this period is completed, the stage of making the prosthesis on the implant begins. Factors that increase the success of implant treatments: * Good intraoral planning, * Preferred reliable implant brands, * The general health status of the patient, * The patient does not smoke, * Ensuring good oral hygiene, It can be listed as.

In which cases is implant treatment preferred? It is preferred because of the placement of screws in the jawbone instead of missing teeth. It is preferred to prevent bone resorption that develops in the jawbone after tooth extraction, to protect the health of other teeth in the mouth, and to restore the chewing function of the patient as in their natural teeth.

What is the process after implant application? After the application, the recovery period begins. The patient is informed by the physician about what to pay attention to in this process. After the implant is made, an average of 3 months is expected for osteointegration. In the new period, prosthesis can be made without waiting for some implant systems.

IWhat are the types of prosthesis over implants? In case of single tooth deficiencies, single-tooth screw or cementochrons can be made. These can be made of porcelain or zirconium. In case of multiple tooth deficiencies, screwed or cemented bridge options are still available, again, it can be zirconium or porcelain. If the number of implants is low, screw prostheses on the implant or total prostheses on the implant are made in semi-removable prostheses.
