How to maintain dental implants after restoration?

Daily health care includes choosing the right tools to clean dental implants, and how to maintain them after implants? Pay attention to the choice of soft-bristled toothbrushes, toothpastes with relatively low friction, flexible single-bundle toothbrushes, effective dental floss, interdental brushes with no steel wire in the middle, etc., or choose suitable electric toothbrushes, oral irrigators, etc.; Don't smoke and avoid chewing hard candy, dried fruits, bones, and other foods that require excessive exertion with dental implants.

Dr. Changchun Baibo recommends proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups.

Dental implant surgery is actually the same as natural teeth, it needs regular examination and care, similar to we bought a car to the 4S shop for regular maintenance, because dental implants can be brushed every day by patients, in fact, you have nothing to do extra, and some problems when they occur, in fact, you are already very serious, so we require patients to go to your dentist for regular check-ups; Generally, when we first bring teeth, we are required to pay attention to the occlusal problem within the first three months, and after three months after the occlusion has no problem, we ask the patient to re-examine when we are half a year and a year, pay attention to the alveolar bone stability around the teeth and the tartar around the teeth, or some factors that can cause tooth instability are eliminated, so after the completion of the dental implant, we should regularly follow the doctor's instructions and conduct regular re-examination. We only need to remove some tartar or plaque around the implant, and we don't need to do too much intervention.

The chewing function of using dental implants is much better than that of porcelain teeth, and dental implants do not require the base and snap ring necessary for traditional dentures, and are small in size, metal-free, and beautiful, which is conducive to keeping the oral cavity clean and hygienic. Dental implants have strong retention and stability, and can be rooted in the patient's mouth like real teeth; At the same time, it does not have the dullness and discomfort caused by a large area of plastic base.

After the patient has dental implant implant and restoration, the regular dentist or dentist will recommend the patient to have a follow-up visit 1-2 times a year. During the follow-up visit, the doctor will check the patient's bite and dental hygiene in detail, and if necessary, take corresponding X-rays for further examination, which the doctor needs to do during the follow-up. Patient care methods at home include:

1. Pay attention to the balance of nutrition; 2. Pay attention to oral hygiene, including the use of toothbrushes, dental floss, oral irrigators, interdental brushes and other tools, and do a good job of local cleaning; 3. If necessary, you can do a regular percussion exercise. Some dental implants are not regularly maintained by patients, so they must go to a professional dentist or dentist for cleaning, maintenance and maintenance.

According to Ningxia Ruide oral implant experts, the daily maintenance of dental implants should pay attention to the following points:

1. Daily health care includes choosing appropriate tools to clean dental implants, paying attention to the selection of soft-bristled toothbrushes, toothpastes with relatively low friction, flexible single-bundle toothbrushes, effective dental floss, interdental brushes with nylon protection in the middle, etc., or the selection of suitable electric toothbrushes, oral irrigators, etc.;

2. Don't smoke and avoid chewing hard candy, dried fruits, bones and other foods that require excessive exertion with dental implants.

3. Regularly go to the dental hospital for teeth cleaning to remove the tartar and plaque that cannot be removed by brushing, so as to maintain the long-term cleanliness and stability of dental implants.

4. Use correct brushing methods to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent the occurrence of implant periodontitis. When brushing teeth, focus on brushing the gum part of the dental implant to maintain the health of the dental implant for a long time.

5. During the regular review every six months, the dentist will carefully check the condition of the implant and clean the implant and its surrounding tissues with special tools according to the specific situation.

The whole process of dental implant restoration generally takes three months to six months. Dental implants are a popular minimally invasive surgery to repair missing teeth, and the requirements for patients are relatively high. The whole process of dental implant is divided into two stages, the first is to choose an artificial tooth root with good compatibility of human body tissue and implant it on the alveolar bone, under normal circumstances, it is observed for 3 to 6 months, if the artificial tooth root does not reject the body, it is a successful implant.

Second, the model is taken inside the oral cavity and then the crown repair is performed according to the patient's requirements. The advantage of dental implants is that they can repair missing teeth without damaging the front and back teeth. The downside is that sometimes the planting fails.

First of all, proper cleaning of dental implants and the entire oral cavity is the key to maintaining the health of dental implants. After wearing implant dentures, take care to clean the implants with the appropriate tools, and brush them carefully and gently as if they were real teeth. You can choose a toothbrush with soft, smooth bristles with round and blunt ends, and a fluoride toothpaste with a finer pull and less friction; Depending on the situation, dental floss, a gap brush for nylon filaments can also be used to clean the interdental spaces, implant sections, etc.

It is recommended to develop the habit of regular tooth cleaning, preferably once every six months or so. Secondly, proper chewing habits should also be established. The combination of dental implants and surrounding bone tissue requires a physiological adaptation process, and within 1 year of wearing dental implants, it is necessary to transition from soft to hard food, gradually bear weight, and avoid biting hard objects and foods with special toughness during future use.

A thorough, regular and standardized follow-up is important for the maintenance of all dental implants, and it is recommended that implant patients have 1-2 follow-up visits per year. Dental implants, like natural teeth, are made up of multiple parts, but the parts of natural teeth are organically combined, while dental implants are generally connected by screws or adhesives, etc., and the joints will loosen due to loosening or aging of the adhesive. People who wear dental implants should pay attention to whether there are signs of loosening of the various parts of the dental implants, so as to achieve early detection and early follow-up.

Regular check-ups not only monitor the condition of the soft and hard tissues around the dental implants, but also help to detect the remaining natural teeth and other parts of the oral cavity at an early stage.

In addition, other diseases of the body can also lead to a decrease in local oral immunity, which is not good for dental implants and natural teeth. Therefore, it is also necessary to actively prevent and treat systemic diseases and maintain dental implants.

If there is any abnormality found during use, such as the dental implant is accidentally injured by external force, the implant is loose, the gums are red, painful, and the tooth brushing bleeding should be treated in time.

Dr. Xiangzhanggu said that in conclusion, implant maintenance is an important part of the implant restoration process, and it should accompany the implant for a lifetime. Dental implant maintenance needs to block the undesirable factors that affect the long-term success of implants in a timely manner, detect minor lesions around dental implants early, and focus on prevention, early detection and early detection to ensure the long-term success of dental implants.

1. Post-implant care: Within three to six months after the suture is removed, do not shake the artificial tooth root, and do not chew it vigorously, so as not to loosen the tooth root, so that the newly formed bone and fibrous connective tissue around the tooth root will be affected, thus affecting the implant effect, which is an extremely important issue to ensure the implant effect.

2. After the implant is inserted, the post-implant care should pay attention to the hygiene of the area between the adjacent teeth to prevent caries of the adjacent teeth.

3. Post-implant care to prevent impact by external forces, once the impact may hurt the root degree, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Fourth, after implanting the artificial tooth root, attention should be paid to oral hygiene, gargle in time after meals, you can also rinse your mouth with medicinal solution, and use a soft brush or cotton strip to clean the implant abutment once every morning and evening, which is also the postoperative care method of dental implant.

Fifth, after the tooth is inserted, it is not advisable to chew hard things, on the one hand, because there is no protective baroreceptor around the artificial tooth root, therefore, the tooth root tissue is susceptible to damage; On the other hand, dental implants are brittle and are not easy to repair after damage.

6. Conscientiously implement the doctor's instructions and return to the hospital regularly for follow-up. Follow-up visits are usually done at a few months.

Precautions after dental implant surgery:

1. Do not brush your teeth within 24 hours after surgery, and do not rinse your mouth with water, but rinse your mouth after eating, and you can eat and drink appropriately within 2 hours after surgery, and the food should not be overheated.

2. Postoperative examination should be fixed, and the daily care of teeth must be done well. If properly maintained, dental implants can last for more than 40 years or even a lifetime.
