Full lower jaw teeth implantation
Various factors can cause a stage of decay of the teeth in the lower row, despite their good strength. This can be a variety of diseases, all kinds of infections, hygiene that is not performed properly, unbalanced diet and other reasons. To restore the function of the teeth naturally, such a method does not exist today, so most experts from around the world have been searching for the most effective ways to help replace teeth that are missing. The resulting method is called dental implantation. The peculiarity of this method is that it is not a simple process of tooth replacement with a piece of crown, but it is the most aesthetic, natural and reliable method of prosthetics.
Let us find out in more detail how the procedure works, what the pricing policy is for the procedure and other important points.
Basic techniques used in the implantation procedure
To replace lost teeth in the lower row, several techniques are used:
- two-step implant technique;
- express technique, which uses a so-called temporary crown.
The most effective method of treatment is chosen for each individual case. This may be related to what teeth need to be restored, taking into account a variety of details for the individual patient.
In addition to the method used for placement, the methods on the implants used may also vary considerably. If a patient only needs to have 1-2 teeth restored, then based on what are the nuances of damage and their location, the doctor may suggest the option of placing the implant directly under each individual tooth that has been lost. It is also possible to have a bridge-like prosthesis where the implant is supported. If multiple dentures are considered, it is the latter option that is more cost-effective.
Peculiarities of the procedure for dental implants belonging to the masticatory group
The teeth belonging to the masticatory group are under the greatest strain of all teeth. Therefore, before implantation, each dentist takes into account the load and selects the method that can create the best parameters of endurance and stability of the applied structure. In this area of the jaw, the prosthetic procedure is carried out in 2 stages. This is done in order to create the conditions in which the implant can take root correctly and as quickly as possible.
You can put the implants in place no sooner than a few months after the procedure. For teeth belonging to the masticatory group, metal-ceramic crowns are used, which are designed to withstand substantial mechanical loads.
Peculiarities of restoration of the tooth row in the area of the smile through the use of the implant method
When looking at molar teeth, their key function is to have excellent functionality. Teeth belonging to the frontal group have the main requirement, which is aesthetics. In this case, among the most comfortable methods used for the implant procedure for the patient is single-stage implantation, where the so-called instant loading is used. Immediately after the procedure, a special prosthesis is inserted for the time needed for the healing process to take place.
Permanent crowns are placed several months after the main treatment. Here, it is a good idea to choose zirconium dioxide or ceramic crowns.
Peculiarities of the tooth implant procedure in the case of complete absence of teeth
Implants have advantages not only in the case of single dentures. If there are no teeth at all on the jaw below, this method will be quite effective and efficient.
Several techniques are used in current dentistry to solve the problem associated with total adentia:
- a special method of prosthetics based on the use of 4 implants called all-on-4;
- a technique in which there is a restoration process through the use of 6 implants called all-on-6;
- еhe basal method.
Let's take a look at the features and other nuances of the above mentioned techniques separately.
The All-on-4 method
This technique was created and subsequently patented in Sweden by Nobel Biocare, a renowned manufacturer of devices used for the implant procedure. The use of this method is advisable when the process of atrophy is mild or moderate.
Only 4 implants are used as a supporting element in the presented method of prosthetics. Two of them are integrated directly in the front section, where they are placed in a parallel position. Other implants are placed in the lateral areas. The peculiarity of the lateral implants is that they are screwed into the bone at a certain angle. This leads to the stability of the system to significant loads during chewing.
The presented method can be used for dentures of no more than 12 teeth.
All-on-6 technique
The effectiveness of this method is high when there are conditions for an average reduction in bone density. This method can be used when there is a need for multiple support components for the implant.
For implants directly in the jaw from below, the following methods are used:
- four implants are placed in the anterior region;
- two variants are placed in the sections placed on the sides.
Not only computer diagnostics, but also special navigational templates are used to assess the density values and the volumes themselves as correctly as possible. This helps to determine as accurately as possible the positioning of the implants during the procedure.
The main advantages of the presented technology include the following:
- the most effective method of distributing the load that goes on the structural parts of the prosthesis and on the bone itself;
- the possibility of solving the problem associated with the complete absence of teeth;
- low risk of possible rejection of the installed implants;
- stopping the process associated with bone resorption.
Peculiarities of basal implantation
If the bone atrophy of the teeth on the lower jaw is severe, a method called basal implantation is used. Compared to the standard methods, in which the implant is integrated directly into the cancellous bone, basal implantation uses special elongated implants, for which the implant is placed in the deep layers.
In basal implantation, 8 to 12 implants can be used. Immediately the day after the procedure, the main load on the implant can take place. In terms of aesthetics, this method belongs to the most highly traumatic category. But there is an advantage that is associated with low rates of implant rejection and inflammation.
If we consider modern dentistry, this method is rarely used.
The main stages of prosthetics for teeth on the lower jaw
-
Conducting diagnostics
Особ The peculiarity of the presented stage is the implementation of laboratory and instrumental studies, with the help of which the dentist can build up a complete picture of the condition of the dentoalveolar system. Based on this, an effective and correct method of further treatment is developed.
Before implantation, the following tests can be performed:
- blood tests;
- CT SCAN;
- blood tests to determine the presence of hepatitis and other infections;
- urinalysis;
- coagulogram.
-
Complete restoration of the oral cavity
The peculiarity of this stage is that the dentist does everything possible to eliminate all sources of infection in the oral cavity. This can be the removal of dental plaque, treatment of periodontal disease and tooth decay.
-
Selection of implants and preparation of a treatment plan
Based on the results after the study, the dentist determines the most effective method for implants, the need for such a process, such as bone grafting, determines the most accurate positioning of the implant, which will allow to get a really good result.
-
The implant placement process
The procedure itself is carried out under local anesthesia. From the dentist's side a clavate incision is made in the gingiva, allowing direct access to the bone. A hole is then created in which the implant blade will be placed. The dentist then screws in the implant and sutures the implant.
-
Abutment placement and gum shaping
In the case of one-stage prosthetics, where instant loading is used, a gingival shaper is inserted. If we consider the classic two-level implantation, where loading is carried out after a certain period of time, an abutment must be placed on the implant.
-
The process of installing a prosthesis
After the successful engraftment of the implant, dentists are involved in the creation and further installation of prostheses belonging to the category of permanent type.
If during the examination of patients the presence of bone resorption has been established, it is worth highlighting an additional step, which is associated directly with the augmentation of the bone tissue itself. This method is called osteoplasty. Until bone regeneration procedures are performed, the implantation procedure will be delayed.
Peculiarities of the process of dental implantation
- The bone tissue on the lower jaw is denser than that on the upper jaw. From this we can conclude that the grafting process on the lower jaw will be faster and much better.
- Due to the fact that the bone density is very high, it is possible to achieve a good fixation strength of implants, and this minimizes the risk of implant rejection or inflammatory processes.
- Absence of all kinds of risks that can occur during implantation. These risks include maxillary sinus damage or the nerve itself.
- After the teeth are extracted, the bone retains its density and volume indicators for as long as possible, therefore different technologies can be used for prosthetics with implants.
The cost is calculated individually for each case. The price policy may depend on the necessity of osteoplasty, number of stages required for treatment, number and type of implants used, and technology used for prosthetics.
Denta-PRO Clinic uses only the most effective methods used for dental implants. Denta-PRO treats each patient's problem individually and selects the system that will help to achieve the ideal result.
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%!
