One-stage tooth implantation
The implantation procedure can effectively replace lost teeth and restore the teeth. One-stage teeth implantation spares the client months of waiting before a denture is fitted. The implant is inserted immediately after extraction and modern standards of such procedures allow for carrying out these operations comfortably for the patient.
Differences and peculiarities of one-stage implantation
In the past, the implantation process took a long time. Between the extraction of the problem tooth and the implantation of a new prosthesis a long period of time was needed for the regeneration of bone tissue. This was difficult for the patient due to
incomplete functioning of the jaw and aesthetics.
Modern techniques such as one-stage teeth implantation involve all the action in a single appointment:
- Removal of a root tooth;
- implantation of a pin;
- placement of a temporary crown.
The main concern with all this is to ensure good rooting behaviour. Titanium roots are often used for this purpose, as they are characterised by excellent compatibility and durability.
Stages in the execution of the procedure:
- The preparatory phase involves an examination of the oral cavity, taking the necessary tests, sanation if necessary (treatment);
- Anaesthesia - to prevent pain and discomfort;
- Careful extraction of the diseased tooth;
- removal of dead tooth tissue and debris from the extraction site;
- implantation of artificial root and formation of gum;
- Placement of a temporary crown.
After all these operations, the patient goes home. Periodically, he or she must have the permanent denture checked and checked.
Indications for emergency implantation
This method is usually recommended in cases of severe damage to the teeth caused by diseases or mechanical influences. It facilitates quick restoration of full masticatory function and gives the person a sense of physical and emotional peace of mind.
Indications for this type of prosthesis are:
- Injuries to the jaw apparatus;
- loss of one or more teeth;
- A disease resulting in the destruction of teeth that are no longer suitable for treatment.
In order to perform the procedure, it is necessary to create the right conditions, i.e. a minimum of Minimum trauma from tooth extraction, sufficient bone tissue, appropriate thickness of gum. The absence of any inflammation and infection is also important.
The indications for this operation are splinter and oblique fractures, horizontal fractures of the teeth when conventional restorations cannot be performed.
Factors preventing a one-stage implantation
It is not always possible to have a tooth extracted and implanted at the same time.
There are a number of contraindications:
- traumatic tooth extraction;
- inflammation of the tissue;
- cyst;
- intolerance to any of the components used in the treatment;
- existence of diseases - diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, blood and heart diseases, tuberculosis, oncology
- Pregnancy and lactation;
- suffered a heart attack, stroke or hypertensive crisis in the last six months;
- presence of unhealthy habits.
Some of the contraindications are avoidable, which means that the implantation is not cancelled completely, but only postponed.
For implant stability, the necessary volume of bone tissue and gum thickness is important. If this is not the case, the procedure will not be carried out.
In some cases, however, the doctor decides in favour of this treatment despite the contraindications. He or she also assesses the risks.
There are generally no age restrictions; the older generation can easily benefit from the implantation.
Advantages of one-stage implantation
The classic two-step implantation and rapid implantation are similar in their effectiveness and are characterised by successful implantation of prostheses. Lately, doctors are increasingly favouring the second option.
The advantages of this procedure are as follows:
- bone tissue preservation - there is no need for bone grafting, as the tissue does not have time to degenerate after the tooth has been extracted;
- short treatment time - in the past, you had to wait for about two months before replacing a tooth, but now it happens immediately;
- minimal traumatism - the implant is inserted in the extraction site immediately, which eliminates the need to cut the gums and make hollow spaces in the bone;
- easy care of the denture - hygiene is achieved by simply brushing the teeth;
- saving time of the patient - no need for long and frequent visits to dental clinics;
- psychological aspect - since a person does not have to wait and walk around without teeth, they do not feel uncomfortable while talking, smiling and eating.
Those wishing to resort to such a procedure should be aware that it has its own disadvantages.
For example, there is a list of contraindications that many patients may find themselves on.
In addition, the risk of rejection of the implant is greater than with a traditional regimen. But in practice, up to 98% of cases are successful.
Some clients also see the cost of the service as a disadvantage, but considering the technology and reliability of this method, as well as the fact that the client gets the effect immediately, the benefit-cost ratio becomes crystal clear.
Compliance with the recommendations after an instant denture prostheses
The positive outcome of the entire operation and the successful implantation of the denture depend on the compliance with a proper regime after the procedure. The patient must strictly follow the dentist's recommendations.
The basic rules are as follows:
- In the first few hours, cold compresses should be applied to reduce swelling and stop bleeding;
- Do not allow the wound to come into contact with hands or other objects;
- Do not eat until the anaesthetic has worn off;
- In the first few days, avoid eating spicy, overly hot food to avoid irritating the mucosa in your mouth;
- No alcohol or smoking;
- Avoid physical activity;
- Avoid thermal procedures such as saunas and baths;
- do not lie on the injured side while sleeping, keeping the head elevated.
Usually the patient is given detailed instructions at the consultation on how to behave during the post-operative period. This regimen must be followed for several weeks.
Only then can you expect the treatment to be completed successfully.
Price appropriateness of the surgery
The price of simultaneous dental implantation is determined based on two main factors - the work of the doctor and the materials used. The volume of manipulation and the materials used vary from person to person. Accordingly, the cost varies too.
However, in general, the economic benefits of such a procedure are higher in comparison to a classic.
This is due to the smaller number of visits to the dentist and the shorter treatment time.
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%!
