Placement of dental implants
Place the implant, the surgeon first making an incision on the gums (cut) to expose the bone. He or she is a hole in the bone and implant in the hole. A radiograph of the area to ensure the surgeon probably make sure that is where it will implant. The surgeon will then sew the gums are closed over the implant.
Time for this process depends on:
The number of implants
Whether you need a bone transplant, whereas
In most cases, the placement of a dental implant takes about an hour. You will feel some pain after the procedure. The amount of discomfort depends on the person, but in general has been described as relatively mild.
If the implant is placed in front of your mouth, your dentist give you a denture or a temporary bridge so that you will not have to be without teeth. He or she will discuss options with you before surgery.
After surgery, antibiotics and painkillers your doctor. You also get instructions. These are:
Not spit, smoke, or straw to suck up. The blood clots, and slow healing can migrate.
Eat only soft foods to avoid injury to the gums.
Clean for the next two years trying to replace the implant bed, but the rest of your mouth Do not clean in general. Your dentist can help an antibacterial rinse the area clean.
Back to 7 to 10 days after surgeons pulled his strings.
After the implant is placed in the jaw, you have to wait several months to connect the bone with implants. The 3 or 4 months and the upper jaw jaw usually takes 5 or 6 months. During this time, the head of the implant usually remains hidden under the gums.
Second Operation
After the implant is integrated (in) around the bone, is ready for another surgery. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision in the gums. This makes the implant. The surgeon implants safe to remove a screw and a metal cap therapy (neck) may change with. A small cylinder of metal, such as in medicine where the tooth is placed on the gums, feeling. Around the implant provides space for the gums to heal properly.
In a very small percentage of cases, transplant is not successfully integrate with bone. If this happens, your dentist may be one of the following:
Transplant Remove and immediately replace it with a little wider.
Remove them and try each other for several months before you leave the recovery area.
Some dentists are using a single-stage implants. These implants will be placed in the jaw and exposed in the mouth so they do not need a second operation.
Repair
Usually after the second operation, go to your dentist or prosthodontist has two or three weeks, begin the process, your crown, bridge or a denture made.
Complications during surgery
Any surgery carries the possibility of complications. Problems may include the imposition:
Bleeding
Infection
Nerves, sinuses (located above the upper teeth) or nasal cavity Injuries
When implants are used to replace the lower teeth, your dentist can nick the nerve that runs along the jaw during drilling. It may be pain or numbness. If there is numbness, usually affecting the lower lip and chin or on the edge of the tongue. It may take several months to heal the nerve. In some cases may be permanent.
Upper jaw, the jaw bone of a breast or the possibility of drilling into the nasal cavity. This could result in infection. To avoid this, a special x-ray taken before surgery, surgeon, sinuses and nasal cavity to determine where the nerves.
Transplant failure
90% of the time of implantation is more successful.
Sometimes an implant does not integrate with surrounding bone. In the second phase of the operation usually find, when the implant is exposed and the surgeon found the loose. In this case, the implant is "no" can be removed. Either immediately or after a transplant can be placed on a trip.
Sometimes the bone around the implant with the first phase of operation do not integrate. Possible reasons:
Surgical trauma
Infection around the implant
Smoking - the blood gums and bone healing, which can interfere with the bonding process sync seems to flow.
Lack of healthy bones - if there is enough bone for implants to stabilize the bone, the implant can not move and unity.
Allergy Titan - these are very rare.
Excessive or the way teeth come together when chewing and talking (cutting) because of the violence irregular implants.
Problems can also be set for years to develop implants. For example, like natural teeth and gums, the gums around the implants become infected with bacteria. Perry is a form of it is called periodontitis. Untreated, this condition can lead to bone loss. Then loosen the implant should be removed. Usually very periodontitis, which affects the natural tooth can be similar to the treatment.
Another type of complexity that may break over time. Transplant or implant restoration (crown, bridge or denture) can be broken. This is usually when the bite (the way your teeth meet) is not aligned properly. If the bite is gone, excessive force, or implant restoration can be used. Restorations often broken beyond repair. However, an implant fracture has been removed.
A new implant with an implant or the breaks are not changing from an infection.
