The dental implant or dental implantation is a root treatment made of titanium and used to replace the crooked or missing tooth with the new tooth that matches with the natural color of tooth such that one can’t differentiate the artificial tooth and the original tooth. Practically in all tooth implantations the replaced tooth looks similar like actual tooth and is fixed inside the bone. The jaw bone receives the new connection and osseointegrates with the tooth placed. The osseointegrates directs the combination of the implant surface with the immediate bone. The dental implant is fused with the bone, since there is a scarcity of periodontal muscles so the patient may have a little different feeling of the new teeth while chewing the food. Before the root canal implantation, the major implants were done with blade endosseous implants in which a metal piece kept in the gap matched with the flat blade. Other method subperiosteal implant was used in which the created framework was connected with the screws to the outer part of the bon of the jaws.
The dental implants are also used to maintain various dental treatments like crowns and bridges. They also support orthodontic teeth movements such that they allow non-directional movement of teeth without causing unwanted actions. Regular implant includes titanium screw with tough or plane surface. Generally the dental implants are constructed of Titanium that is provided in four categories varies as per the amount of carbon and iron present. Mostly the grade five is used. While beginning with the treatment, careful and comprehensive planning is made to recognize the significant structure like alveolar nerve, shape and the size of bone to install the dental implant properly to get the desired result. Before the surgery, Orthopantomographs or CT scan is obtained. With the help of CT scanned or manual stent the exact placement of the implants is performed. The stent is an acrylic wafer that perfectly imbedded over the tooth or at the place of missing tooth through pre-made holes to locate the position and angle to fix the implants. In majority of dental implants, the embedding of dental implant needs the preparation inside the bone through manual osteotomes or the accurate drills with perfectly monitored speed such that the flaming or pressure imbalance in bone circumstances can be avoided.
Once the bone grows up on the surface of the implants, the crowns can be fixed on them. The time period required to implement the dental implant depends on the tendency of surgeon and the amount of the bone and circumstances. Typically a standard dental implantation takes around 2 to 6 months for proper healing however if the implants undergo the loading before completion of healing period they hardly or never cause difficulties. Opposite to traditional implants, in the mini dental implantation the burden on the bone is increased quickly still it has a higher life. Besides of this if you take care of your dental implant during the healing period, you get back your original tooth appearance and enjoy your smile forever.
