Implants step by step
Implants step by step
- One of the most important factors in the first phase is the qualification for the procedure, which consists of a detailed interview about the patient’s general health paying special attention to allergies, diabetes, osteoporosis, blood diseases.
- Next a radiological examination is made (panoramic picture, computer tomography, periapical) and a clinical examination. On this stage the experts at Exceldent (dental implants Szczecin) determine, if implants are suitable for the given place of the prosthetic base. We also decide about its purpose in the final construction of the prosthetics. Here we also choose which dental implants Szczecin will be suitable – this has to do with the prosthetic target design and all anatomical conditions of the patient. We also specify the type of implant, length and diameter. If the anatomical conditions do not allow for implants, it is possible to use natural bone substitute materials for the patient in the location of the planed implantation. This very often allows to use implants in areas where is normally would not be possible to perform this procedure. More than one, aside
from clinical experience in planning implantologic procedures, special computer programs are used, which use the previous computer tomography to create a 3D image of the patients bone structure, allowing for a precise planning of the ideal place for implant placement. After passing this qualification and an unambiguous determination of the applicability of the implant we choose a term for the procedure.
- The procedure is performed in local anesthesia as in the case of tooth extraction. Technically, the procedure involves an incision of the mucosa and detachment from the periosteum, in the place where we plan to place the dental implant Szczecin. Next, using precision drills and cutters into the alveolar bone according to the rules of the art. The prepared implant is inserted in the precinct of the drilled bone bed and the mucosa is stitched together.
Local anesthesia
- The stitches are removed after 7-10 days. The procedure, in which the dental implants Szczecin are placed, is done with a prophylactic antibiotic treatment, so we can minimalize any risk of complications. After the removal of the stitches the implant is left in the bone for a couple of months (maxilla 4-8 months and mandible 3-6 months). During this time a temporary dental restoration is utilized, and after the given period of time, the implant in exposed, equipped with a healing screw and after a period of about 2 weeks we proceed with the implementation of the previously planned restoration.
This method deals with the integration of the implant with the bone without access to the external environment of the oral cavity. However, there are also methods and implants, which are inserted immediately after implantation, which are later replaced with the appropriate design.
