What Are Dental Implants?

What Are Dental Implants?

  • What are the benefits of digital implant dentistry?

Regardless of the dental implant treatment method, "4D minimally invasive navigation system" dental technology can assist doctors during treatment. In addition to using the doctor's clinical experience and technology, it can also accurately control and judge all conditions of the patient, reduce risks that may occur during the treatment, and alleviate postoperative discomfort.

The doctor will install a "monitor"-like machine on the patient's missing tooth, paired with "4D dynamic navigation system" dental technology, so that the doctor can real-time and accurately monitor the condition of the patient's oral bones when implanting teeth.

  • Is there a golden treatment time for dental implants?

The golden treatment period for dental implants is "the sooner, the better!" Why "the sooner, the better?" The main reason is that teeth and alveolar bone are interdependent. When the teeth are missing in the first year, the bone will absorb very quickly, and then it will be absorbed at the same rate every year.

When you have any problems with the teeth in your mouth or have missing teeth, you should seek help from a dentist as soon as possible! Assessing the need for treatment and bone reconstruction avoids making reconstruction more difficult or even impossible to treat.

Whether it is suitable for "dental implants" or "tooth bridges" using the teeth on both sides ultimately requires the professional judgment of the doctor.

 

  • How to find a suitable dental implant surgeon in the vast medical field?

"General dentistry, prosthodontics department, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontal specialist" Modern people like to do research online, but when they want to find a dental implant doctor, they don't know where to find a suitable dental implant doctor.

In fact, doctors who can provide patients with professional dental implant technology usually receive professional training in three major disciplines: "prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and periodontal disease."

If you are worried that problems with dental implants may arise after spending money but cannot be dealt with, if the dental clinic you visit for a long time does not have relevant professional doctors, you can ask the doctor for referral.

In addition, you can also select several doctors you like and conduct face-to-face consultations to find the most suitable doctor. Finally, full communication and cooperation with the doctor are also important keys to the success of dental implants.

 

  • Dental Implant Steps

The dental implant process can be roughly divided into several stages: data collection, data analysis and reconstruction of the ideal tooth position, dental implant surgery and temporary implant denture production, and finally, the most important implant denture production.

The first step in dental implant consultation is “information collection”

Data collection and analysis: First, use oral scanners, facial scanners, X-rays, tomography, etc. to collect clinical information on the patient's overall oral environment, gums, and bones, as well as record the condition of the temporomandibular joint and occlusion.

 

  • Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery: After a professional medical team conducts a pre-operative assessment and formulates a personalized treatment plan, the dental implant surgery will begin. The surgical steps include gum flaps, drilling, artificial tooth root implantation, suturing, and suture removal.

Many people may have felt their scalp numb after hearing the above steps. During the treatment process, the professional medical team will use "sleep anesthesia" treatment, which can reduce the patient's discomfort and fear of gathering during the process.

Generally, the healing period of artificial tooth roots takes about 6-12 weeks. After healing, the production of "implant temporary dentures" will begin.

 

  • Are dental implants permanent? Do dental implants have a warranty period?

"After the dental implant is successful, is it done once and for all? Don't you need to meet with the doctor?" Dental implants are titanium nails. After the bone is implanted and healed, it will not cause tooth decay. However, if the tooth flesh and bone around the dental implant are not properly maintained, it will still lead to the occurrence of periodontal disease, which is the so-called peri-implantitis.

The dental crown attached to the dental implant is like buying a car. Once the crown is used for a long time, just like the car is used for a long time, parts and screws will still be damaged, so regular follow-up visits and maintenance are very important.

Usually, after dental implant braces are completed, you should return for a visit at least once every six months to have the dentist check to confirm that there is no accumulation of dental plaque and calculus on the teeth near the dental implants, that the gum around the implants is not inflamed and suppurative, that the fixing screws in the middle are not loose, that the braces are not damaged, and that the bite is stable, etc.

In addition, patients must maintain good oral hygiene. You can refer to the tooth cleaning methods I introduced before to maintain good oral hygiene, smoke less, etc. This, combined with regular follow-up examinations, can extend the life of the implant.

  • The structure of the implant

The treatment process of dental implants is very long. The most common question many patients ask is "What exactly is installed in the mouth?"

Today's "Dental Implant Core Classroom" will take you to understand the "overall structure of dental implant" (Dental implant)

The dental implants in the oral cavity are, in order from top to bottom: crown, abutment, and implant.

Dental crowns: Also known as denture crowns and braces, they provide the same chewing function as real teeth and restore the appearance. The most common materials for permanent crowns are: all-ceramic, metal alloy, and porcelain-fused metal.

Abutment teeth: The extended part that connects the crown and the implant, plays an important role at the midpoint, because it must support the biting force of the crown, and at the same time provide a healthy growth environment for the tooth pulp. Therefore, when installing, the specialist must "customize" the design based on the patient's oral conditions to find the most suitable shape, size and angle.

Implant: It is placed in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth. Its function is to replace the original "tooth root" and is responsible for stabilizing the foundation of the tooth. Currently, the most common implant materials are pure titanium and titanium alloy.

 

  • Dental implant x crown material

For modern people who pay more and more attention to beauty, if they spend money on dental implants, they certainly hope that they can be both beautiful and functional.

Today's "Dental Implant Core Classroom" will take you to understand "Dental Crown Materials"

Currently, the most common materials for permanent dental crowns on the market are all-ceramic, metal alloy, and porcelain-fused-to-metal.

1. All-ceramic dental crowns: The materials include zirconia and strengthened glass porcelain. They do not require the use of metal. The material has high biocompatibility with the human body. It also has the characteristics of high hardness, high wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. In appearance, the color is natural and looks like real teeth, with excellent aesthetics.

2. Porcelain fused metal crowns: Due to the complex composition of the alloy, if the composition of the noble metal (gold, platinum) is not high enough, in the high temperature and humidity environment of the oral cavity, the metal will easily corrode, resulting in a rough surface, making it difficult to thoroughly clean the dental plaque, which will easily cause gum inflammation and staining, making it difficult to meet the long-term aesthetics and practicality, for patients who value a natural appearance.

3. Metal alloy crowns: Because they are made entirely of metal, they are not easy to crack or break, but their appearance is metallic, so when you open your mouth, you can see the position of the dentures at a glance. If you use metal and gold crowns, it is recommended to use materials with higher noble metal content.

 

  • Precautions before dental implantation

In order to improve the success rate of dental implant treatment, it is very important for doctors and patients to cooperate with each other. From pre-operative data collection, evaluation and diagnosis, to giving exclusive treatment guidelines based on the patient's condition, from intra-operative treatment process to postoperative maintenance, it is very important. First, let's talk about the things to pay attention to before dental implant.

1. Maintain oral hygiene: Oral hygiene is the biggest key to the success of dental implants

2. Reduce smoking addiction: Smoking will affect the success rate of dental implants and should be avoided as much as possible. If you can successfully quit smoking, the success rate of dental implants will be improved.

3. Continue to take medications for chronic diseases: If you are taking medications for chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, etc.), be sure to provide a complete medication history to the doctor during pre-operative consultation.

 

  • Teeth Cleaning Steps After Dental Implantation – Tools

"Dental implants neglect dental cleaning and health care, and millions of Taiwan dollars will be lost immediately without leaving a trace." This is a bloody case. Don't think that once the dental implant is completed, it will be settled once and for all.

Postoperative oral hygiene and maintenance are very important! Very important! Very important! Because the "service life" of dental implants is very closely related.

There are three treasures for dental implant maintenance: toothbrush, interdental brush, and dental floss

Toothbrush: You can choose the brush head you are used to, or choose a toothbrush with a short brush head and moderately soft and hard bristles.

Interdental brush: When gingival recession and the gaps between teeth become larger, you should choose an interdental brush suitable for the size of the gaps between teeth to clean the gaps between teeth and the plaque and food residues at the bottom of the braces.

Floss: Use super floss to clean the supporting teeth under the bridge.

Mouthwash, dental rinsers, etc., these are just auxiliary tools and must not be regarded as regular tooth cleaning equipment.

 

  • Teeth Cleaning Steps After Dental Implantation – Cleaning

How to clean dental implants.

First: Use a toothbrush at the junction of the dentures and the gums, using the brushing method, and brush lightly back and forth at least 10 times.

Next: use an interdental brush, lightly apply it to the surface of the teeth, and clean it before and after. In the same way, enter from the tongue side, apply it lightly to the surface of the teeth, and clean again, at least 5 times each time.

Finally: Use about 45CM of dental floss, and you can use the aid of a threader to clean under the bridge, at least 5 times each time.

 

  • Teeth cleaning steps after dental implants - electric toothbrush vs. ordinary toothbrush

"Can I use an electric toothbrush to brush my teeth after getting braces? How to choose a tooth cleaning tool?" The previous article talked about how to clean dental implants. Should you use an electric toothbrush for dental implants? The answer is "yes".

Scientific research points out that using an electric toothbrush can clean more deeply into the spaces between teeth and the undercuts of teeth. This is especially true for people with poor hand coordination and those with messy teeth, which can achieve better cleaning results.

Selection of brush head: Always choose a brush head with a small brush head and moderate hardness of the bristles. It is recommended that the brush head must be replaced every 1-3 months, or if the appearance appears to be bent and deformed. Don’t be reluctant to replace the brush head just because it is more expensive than ordinary toothbrushes, as this will compromise the effectiveness of cleaning your teeth.

Teeth cleaning method: The difference between electric toothbrushes and ordinary toothbrushes is that electric toothbrushes only need to place the brush head lightly on a single tooth and let the brush head rotate at the junction of the teeth and the gum tissue. There is no need to move the brush head back and forth with your hands. But be sure not to put too much pressure on your teeth. Applying too much pressure on your teeth can actually cause damage to your gums.

In addition, whether you use an electric toothbrush or a regular toothbrush, you must use dental floss and an interdental brush to clean the adjacent surfaces between teeth to ensure that dental plaque is removed.

Teeth cleaning time: After three meals, it is best if you can clean your teeth within 30 minutes. If not, it is most important to clean your teeth thoroughly before going to bed! In addition, you must be patient when cleaning your teeth. Don't just brush 2.3 times just to save time.

How to choose: Budget, operation and portability are the primary considerations, and choose products that have passed the inspection by the "Ministry of Economic Standards and Inspection Bureau". Poorly designed electric toothbrushes may cause oral injuries.

 

  • Postoperative care after dental implants

Whether dental implants are ultimately successful or not, post-operative care is really important! Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. The following are the key points of care.

1. Ice application: One week after surgery, there will still be some swelling and slight bruising. Within 48 hours, it is recommended that the patient apply ice application on the outside of the cheek for 15-20 minutes, rest for 10 minutes, and repeat the action until 48 hours.

2. Do not soak in hot springs, hot baths, swim or engage in strenuous exercise.

3. Diet: In the early stage, it is still recommended to mainly eat liquid and soft foods. Liquid foods that are too hot or too cold are not suitable. Foods that are too hot, spicy, and contain alcohol and irritating ingredients should be avoided.

4. Reduce smoking cravings: In order to allow the dental implant wound to recover smoothly, it has been documented in medical literature that smoking cravings must be reduced one week after surgery.

5. Regular follow-up visits: After the dental implant is completed, regular follow-up visits are still required to allow the doctor to confirm the health of the wound and oral cavity.

Depending on the course of surgery, each post-operative care method is also different, which will be shared and discussed with you in the future.

 

  • After dental implantation, it can be restored once and for all, and there will be no periodontal disease?

Most patients know that before getting dental implants, periodontal disease and other oral problems need to be treated to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth in order to proceed with the implants. However, many patients mistakenly believe that once the implants are successful, they can permanently say goodbye to periodontal disease. This notion is completely incorrect.

Simply put, "periodontal disease" is the result of the destruction of the bones around the teeth by bacteria. Therefore, after dental implantation, if the tooth flesh and bone around the implant are not properly cleaned and taken care of, bacteria will still breed in the oral cavity, which will also lead to the occurrence of periodontal disease.

 

  • After dental implants, is it also possible to say Bye Bye to sensitive teeth?

What is commonly referred to as 'sensitive teeth' is technically called 'Dentin Hypersensitivity.' Sensitive teeth are mainly caused when the outer enamel layer of the teeth is worn away and loses its protective function, or when gingival recession exposes the tooth roots. Both situations lead to the exposure of nerve tubules inside the dentin, causing nerve pain and discomfort when stimulated by cold, heat, air, or pressure.

After dental implantation, there are no nerves in the reconstructed artificial crown, so there will be no chance of sensitive teeth. However, other natural teeth will not be changed by dental implants. When the enamel is damaged, tooth sensitivity will still be a problem.

 

  • Are people with osteoporosis suitable for dental implants?

"Osteoporosis" has a trend of getting younger and younger. In addition to increasing age, the lack of proper maintenance of the body is also one of the culprits. If it is mild osteoporosis, as long as you supplement calcium appropriately, there will still be no problem with dental implants! The overall situation must still be evaluated by a professional physician.

"Patients with osteoporosis", especially those taking high doses or using anti-bone erosion drugs, will affect the success rate of dental implants. The reason is that most anti-osteoporosis drugs contain bisphosphonates, which can affect the repair function of bone cells and prevent jawbone repair. Therefore, if you are taking related medications, you must inform your doctor before dental implantation.

 

  • I am a patient with high blood pressure, can I get dental implants?

As long as high blood pressure is well controlled, dental implant surgery can be performed! Normal blood pressure refers to systolic blood pressure 120/diastolic blood pressure 80mmHg. When blood pressure is high, it will increase bleeding during surgery, increase the complexity of surgery, and even increase the infection rate after surgery.

Many patients with high blood pressure take "anticoagulant drugs." "Anticoagulant drugs" may cause the wound to bleed during surgery. Therefore, when evaluating a dental implant, the doctor must let the doctor know his or her chronic medical history and medications, and try to find a doctor who can provide a detailed treatment plan and is good at minimally invasive dental implant surgery to reduce the risk of dental implants.

 

  • I am a diabetic, can I get dental implants?

Diabetic patients and patients with high blood pressure can complete dental implant surgery if they are well controlled. Because patients with poorly controlled diabetes have lower cell repair capabilities and immune systems than normal people, their relative periodontal tissue regeneration capabilities and wound healing are also poor.

Therefore, if you want to have dental implants, you must work with a metabolic surgeon and an dental implantologist at the same time to stabilize blood sugar. In addition, diabetic patients should also develop good oral health habits and provide a complete treatment plan after professional evaluation by a physician.

 

  • What is the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease?

"periodontal disease has been listed as one of the complications of diabetes." As mentioned earlier, "as long as blood sugar is controlled well," dental implants can still be done. We also mentioned that periodontal disease must be controlled before dental implantation. Today we will talk about "The relationship between periodontal disease and poor diabetes control".

In fact, patients with poorly controlled diabetes are three times more likely to develop periodontal disease than normal people. The main reason is that the amount of bacteria in the oral cavity is higher than that of normal people. Since the immune system is relatively poor, it is more susceptible to infection, so the wound recovery ability is also low.

Once people with poorly controlled diabetes receive periodontal disease, the course of the disease will also accelerate, and the rate of bone destruction and damage will also accelerate. Moreover, long-term inflammation in the body will make blood sugar more difficult to control.

 

  • Are cancer patients suitable for dental implants?

"Cancer has been the top 10 cause of death in China for many years." But can cancer be used for dental implant surgery? First, the doctor will first understand the patient's cancer type and stage, as well as past medical history, treatment history, and medication history, and make an accurate judgment based on the information provided by the patient.

Cancer radiation therapy, immunosuppression, etc. will affect wound healing. Antiresorptive agents and antiangiogenic agents are used in the treatment, which may increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw. In addition, radiation exposure to the head and neck can also cause the activity of bone cells to decrease.

Moreover, when patients receive chemotherapy and targeted drugs, their immunity will be reduced and their cell repair ability will be weakened after treatment. If you want to have dental implants during or after treatment, you should first see a doctor to evaluate various physical parameters to improve the success rate of dental implants.

 

  • Can I get dental implants during pregnancy?

Although dental implants are a minor surgery, doctors usually do not recommend expectant mothers to undergo dental implant surgery at this time. First of all, because dental implants require X-ray examination, exposure to radiation should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy.

At the same time, dental implants must go through an anesthetic step. Although the anesthetic will be excreted from the body through urine, most anesthetics contain "vasoconstrictor" ingredients. The extra anxiety caused during the treatment may cause the patient's risk of premature uterine contraction. Therefore, expectant mothers who want dental implants are advised to undergo dental implant surgery after giving birth.

 

  • Precautions for dental implants after childbirth and lactation

"Doctor, can I have dental implants if I am breastfeeding?" During pregnancy, even if the first stage of dental implant surgery has been completed, doctors will directly suspend the treatment until postpartum in order to protect the mother and fetus. However, "How long does it take for women to get dental implants after delivery?" and "Can dental implants be done while breastfeeding?" have become the most frequently asked questions of many mothers.

In fact, once a woman’s physical condition recovers to a certain level after childbirth, she can undergo dental implants. In order to worry about the secretion of anesthetics, antibiotics, and analgesics into breast milk, and because the half-life of each drug is different, it is usually recommended to wait 24 hours after taking the last drug before breastfeeding.

 

  • Will taking healthy foods affect dental implants?

"Vitamin C, B complex, fish oil, ginkgo, calcium supplements..." A variety of health foods can be eaten with peace of mind. Many patients come to the clinic. One of the most frequently asked questions to me is "Doctor, I am taking various health foods, will it affect dental implants?"

In fact, it depends on the ingredients extracted from the health food. Not all health food will affect dental implants. If the nutritional product contains health food with "anticoagulant effect" ingredients, such as ginkgo and safflower. It is recommended to stop taking it 1 week before surgery.

Although proper consumption of health foods is indeed beneficial to health, it is still important to inform the doctor during dental implant evaluation so that the doctor can make a more accurate evaluation.

 

  • Do dental implants require local anesthesia or general anesthesia?

"Does dental implantation require general anesthesia or local anesthesia? What are the methods of anesthesia? What are the differences and are there any sequelae?" Many patients will have the same questions. Starting today, a series of articles will answer their questions.

In fact, dental implant surgery is the same as general oral treatment. It can be treated while the patient is awake. Doctors usually use local anesthetics containing a small proportion of vasoconstrictor (Epinephrine) to give the patient an accurate dose of anesthesia based on the content of the surgery and the time required for the treatment.

Since most local anesthetics contain vasoconstrictors, as mentioned in the previous article, patients with high blood pressure must provide medication history and blood pressure control during treatment consultation, and should have their blood pressure measured on the day of surgery to confirm the safety of the medication.

 

  • What is the success rate of dental implants? How to solve the problem of dental implant failure? What are the sequelae of dental implants?

"Can dental implants be 100% successful? Will there be no need for follow-up visits after dental implants? What should you do when dental implants start to have problems? How to treat dental implants after they fail?" These questions are very important considerations for patients now when choosing dental implants.

"The success rate of dental implants and the longevity of the implants." In fact, the most important thing depends on whether the doctor and the patient cooperate well. Both the doctor and the patient should play each other's roles in the treatment process, so that the lifespan of the implant can be extended after the implant is successfully osseointegrated.

Patients must provide the physician with accurate medication and medical history during consultation. During the treatment period, follow the doctor's instructions, implement oral hygiene, and return for regular follow-up visits after the operation. In addition, when any problem occurs with the implant, you must seek help from a doctor immediately for "early detection and early treatment."

Physicians, with their skills and experience, must provide patients with precise and personalized treatment guidelines, and use implants and biomedical materials from big brands to improve the success rate of treatment. At the same time, we should absorb new medical knowledge at any time and apply it to provide patients with the best treatment.

The above is one of the indispensable keys to the success of dental implants.

 

  • Post-implantation condition x dental crown porcelain cracked

"What should I do if something goes wrong after dental implantation?"

As mentioned before, dental implants are like a car. Parts will be damaged after being used for a long time. If you want to talk about "what should I do if something goes wrong?", we need to go back to the root of the problem and prescribe the right medicine. Next, I will give a detailed explanation of "several common situations after dental implants":

If the dental crown porcelain is cracked, the denture can be removed and repaired with porcelain to restore the appearance and bite function. Due to advances in dental materials science, the new type of zirconia crowns (Zirconia) will almost never crack. This is also the reason why among the current dental crown materials, they have high stability in terms of quality and aesthetics. Before repair, a professional prosthetic surgeon will clean the gap between the connector and the crown to prevent the implant from the risk of bacterial infection.

 

  • Situations after dental implants xLooseness and damage of implant accessories

"Looseness and damage of implant accessories." In the previous dental implant core class, we introduced that the crowns and abutment teeth contain various small parts. When the implants are used for a long time and the parts begin to show signs of failure, what should be done?  

Before we talk about how to deal with it, we must first understand why "looseness and damage of implant accessories" occur. The reasons can be roughly classified as: parts life and long-term occlusal stress on the implant.  

After the patient completes the dental implant, the dentist will confirm these detailed parts during regular visits every six months to determine whether there is any looseness or shaking.

Once the screws become loose and are not treated in time, the screws will break within the implant. Removing the broken screws from the implant is a complex and high-risk procedure that must be handled by a professionally trained dental implant prosthetist. This will be explained in more detail in future articles.        

 

  • What are the anesthesia methods for dental implants?

"Sleep anesthesia, general anesthesia, laughing gas anesthesia" are keywords that are relatively easy to find when searching for information. Today I will briefly introduce these proper nouns for anesthesia.  

Sleeping anesthesia: Currently, the anesthesia method most commonly used by pseudosurgeons is superficial anesthesia, which allows patients to undergo treatment in a relaxed state and can also reduce the dosage of local anesthesia. A series of introductions to "Sleeping anesthesia" will follow.

General anesthesia: It is a deep anesthesia. The dose of anesthetic will make the patient lose consciousness and unable to breathe on his own. The postoperative recovery period is long and must be performed in the operating room.

Laughing gas anesthesia: It is mainly used for sedation rather than anesthesia. Some patients will still feel the tension of visiting a dentist when undergoing local anesthesia in the mouth. Therefore, some hospitals or clinics will be equipped with laughing gas equipment to help patients calm down during local anesthesia.
