Study Notes
Implant Composition
- Implants are made of titanium, which is lightweight, soft, and non-corroding.
- Implants are often intentionally roughened after manufacturing to improve bone cell attachment.
- Most implants are threaded and have a shape designed to transfer biting forces to the surrounding bone.
- Some implants are coated with hydroxyapatite to promote bone healing.
Osseointegration
- Osseointegration is the process where living bone tissue directly bonds to an implant material.
- This was accidentally discovered by Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark in 1952 while researching bone tissue healing patterns.
Implant Components
- Implants consist of three main components:
- Fixture (the part that is surgically placed into the bone).
- Abutment (connects the implant to the crown, may be angled).
- Crown (the visible part of the tooth).
Dental Implants
- Dental implants are titanium fixtures that replace a tooth root.
- The implant is connected to the bone through osseointegration.
Types of Implants
- Supragingival: Positioned above the gum line.
- Subgingival: Positioned below the gum line.
Contraindications
- Poor or insufficient quality of bone
- Low nerve or sinus bundles
- Smokers
- Patients with:
- Endocrine disorders
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Bone diseases
- Uncontrolled hematologic disorders
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Bone marrow cancer
- Parathyroid disorders
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- Patients with uncontrolled hematologic disorders such as anemias and hemophilia.
Dental Implant Placement
- The process of dental implants involves several steps:
- Implant placement into the jawbone.
- Osseointegration (usually occurs within 6-8 weeks).
- Abutment placement.
- Crown placement.
