Basal dental implantation
Teeth can be lost for many reasons. A special method - implantation - allows the restoration of missing teeth, the aesthetics of the smile and the full functionality of the tooth row. When classical prosthetics is not possible due to certain indications, basal implantation is used.
What is the essence of basal implantation?
Basal implantation aims to replenish the tooth row. It involves placing implants at the base of the jawbone, the basal layer. This deeper bone tissue is less prone to atrophy.
It is worth noting that atrophy often occurs after tooth extraction. When chewing increases the load on the jaw, blood circulation deteriorates, leading to bone problems.
The shape and size of products for basal implantation are selected according to the characteristics of the tooth row. The peculiarity of the method is the rapid restoration of chewing functions - immediately after the surgical intervention.
Today, the basal implantation method is used in cases of atrophic processes when there is no alternative.
Distinctive features of the basal dental prosthesis
Implants with a T-shaped design are used for the basal denture procedure. The main materials used are hypoallergenic and fully bioavailable alloys of titanium, vanadium or aluminium.
The main advantage of basal implantation is its short duration. Installation of the design is placed within a few days after the extraction of the damaged tooth.
The basal method of implantation differs from the classical method in the following points:
- The place of implantation is the basal part of the bone tissue;
- Price of basal dental implantation - the cost is more affordable than other prosthetics options;
- Duration of treatment - the average course of implantation lasts up to ten days: a tooth implanted in the basal layer can be crowned on the 2nd or 3rd day (with classical implantation, the implant takes longer to take root - 5-6 months);
- Degree of engraftment - due to the physiological characteristics of the basal layer, the engraftment capacity of the products is slightly lower than in conventional implantation.
After implantation, the load on the jaw is evenly distributed and the patient does not feel any discomfort. The optimal configuration and materials allow the implantation method to achieve an efficiency of up to 98%.
Varieties of basal implants
The service life of the implants is more than 20 years, and in the case of a successful engraftment they can be used for a lifetime. To date, there are several types of prostheses available for implantation in Dnipro.
Classic
The design is made of titanium alloy and has the shape of a conical pin with a pronounced thread. As the post is placed in the deep basal layer, its size is slightly increased. An abutment for crown placement is also included.
Disc
The name refers to the shape - it resembles a disc. The method of implantation of this type is quite traumatic: the specialist must remove the mucous part of the bone, which requires more time for recovery.
The engraftment of the structure into the bone tissue is associated with a high risk of rejection. Today, this type is almost not used.
Zygomatic
Titanium implants for prosthetics of the upper jaw. They are fitted at an angle of 30° to 60°. This type is most commonly used in all-on-4, all-on-6 implantation.
Compression
The design is suitable for implantation in the spongy layer and small bone. It has a compression type thread. After the implant is fitted, the process of dense bone fibre formation begins.
Stages of basal implantation
The basal implantation procedure follows a strictly defined algorithm.
The main stages of prosthetics:
- Diagnostics - examination of the oral cavity before implantation, evaluation of the bones, alveolar processes. Radiographic examination is performed, computer diagnostics, blood sampling for analysis.
- Modelling - a computer programme makes it possible to create an accurate 3D model of the future implantation and avoid mistakes.
- Implantation - the main stage. An anaesthetic is administered to the patient, followed by the removal of the unsuitable tooth and the implantation of the pins. The soft tissues around the implant are then sutured.
- Prosthesis - after 2-3 days a prosthesis must be fitted. In order to restore the row of teeth as accurately as possible, the dentist will adjust the inclination. Temporary dentures are often used first and replaced with permanent ones after six months to a year.
It is important to understand that in each case, individual nuances of implantation are possible. At the end of the procedure, the patient is given detailed recommendations for oral and dental care.
Indications and contraindications for basal implantation
Carrying out basal implantation in Dnipro doctor prescribes in certain situations. Indications for the use of this method are:
- Absence of a significant number of teeth or complete dentition in the upper or lower jaw;
- Gum atrophy
- Inflammatory processes in the oral cavity
- Neoplasms such as cysts;
- Refusal of removable dentures.
However, there are contraindications when the basal denture method cannot be used. These include:
- Deficiency of bone mass;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- Tuberculosis;
- Oncology;
- Cardiovascular disease;
- Chronic arthritis;
- Mental disorders.
In view of these factors, basal implantation in Dnipro is performed only after examination by a dentist and subspecialists.
Price of basal tooth implantation in Dnipro
The price of turnkey basal implantation of teeth in Dnipro depends on the quality and reliability of the installed structure.
The final amount of prosthetics depends on the following aspects:
- The number of prostheses;
- Implant material
- Complexity of the implantation
- Additional procedures and manipulations.
Basal implantation is an effective and affordable method of restoring chewing function, the ability to smile without discomfort.
The clinic of modern dentistry "Denta-Pro" offers a wide range of services on basal implantation in Dnipro. Specialists will conduct a thorough examination to determine all the features of the future implantation procedure.
At the first consultation, the doctor will tell you in detail about which teeth need to be treated first, about the condition of your gums and about which design you need to choose in order to fill in the missing teeth.
About what actions and manipulations need to be carried out. Learn how to take good care of your mouth so you don't have to go to the dentist as often as possible.
After discussing the above aspects, your dentist will draw up a treatment plan, guide you by the stages, timing, cost of the upcoming treatment, make, if necessary, computer diagnostics of the teeth and make an appointment for you at a convenient time for you to start treatment.
It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
