The history of dental implants, what is the process of dental implants

As early as ancient times, people in Europe, the Middle East, and Central America tried to implant jaws to replace missing teeth using a variety of homogeneous or dissimilar materials, including human and animal teeth, carved bones, and shells. In modern times, there have been attempts to use artificial materials to make implants of various shapes to repair missing teeth or to provide support for dental restorations by implanting them in or out of bone. However, these implants do not meet the requirements of the complex oral environment, and a large number of shedding failures occur.

In the mid-20th century, Swede br Nemark observed that the bone tissue of animals could be tightly bonded to an implanted titanium device. He later defined this phenomenon as osseointegration. In 1965, he successfully repaired a cleft palate defect with the developed osteointegrated titanium implant for the first clinical case.

In 1982, at the Toronto conference, B.R. Nemark reported on a large 15-year study of osseointegration, which was recognized as a breakthrough in oral medicine. It laid the foundation for a new sub-discipline of stomatology, oral implantology. In the decades that followed, dental implantology developed and matured rapidly, and dental implants have become the first choice for the dental community and edentulous patients as a restoration method that closely resembles the function, structure and aesthetics of natural teeth.

The whole process of dental implants:

1. Examination and design: The physician asks the patient in detail about the necessary whole body and oral examination, takes X-rays, and understands the bone quality and bone mass of the toothless area, so as to determine whether the patient is suitable for dental implantation, and provide the best for the patient according to the patient's requirements.

2. Under local anesthesia, the implant is inserted into the dental bone bed and sutured tightly, and the sutures are removed after 7-10 days.

3. After implant placement in the bone healing period, the upper jaw is generally 6 months, and the lower jaw is generally 3 months in the bone healing period. If surgery such as bone grafting is performed at the time of implantation, the bone healing period will be prolonged.

4. Connect the healing abutmentWhen the implant is combined with the jawbone, a healing abutment is connected to the implant to form the soft tissue within three weeks.

5. After the soft tissue cuff is formed, the doctor replaces the healing abutment with a permanent abutment, takes an impression, designs the restored tooth, and once the crown or bridge is done, you can wear the tooth supported by the implant.

1. 3 months after tooth extraction, check the growth and healing of the tooth position.

2. Take an X-ray of the tooth to check the tooth position (if the bone loss is serious, it is necessary to fill the tooth grain, that is, to fill the gum bone meal, which is the missing place to grow the gum that meets the requirements, so that the implant root can be implanted and fixed, if the bone powder is made, the time and money will be increased), and the implant position is designed.

3. Determine the implant plan, gargle with the whole bottle of mouthwash, perform surgery, and implant the root part of the tooth (metal pile implantation).

After a few months (during which the two check-ups are performed), the implant root is fitted (the area where the dentures are installed), and the shape and color of your teeth are designed.

After a month of installation and commissioning of the crown, your dental implant journey will be over, congratulations on your successful dental implantation!

This is my personal experience of implanting teeth, which cost 5,000 and took 9 months! Now except for the occasional plugging of teeth, it is very sturdy!

Preparation before planting.

1. Communicate with customers before planting to understand their expectations and wishes.

2. Exclude dental pathological conditions and infections.

3. For teeth that do not have ** and preservation value, the extraction time is planned according to the specific situation.

4. Adjust or make a temporary restoration, so that it has the appropriate vertical distance, dental arch shape and jaw plane, and can complete certain functions and desired aesthetic requirements.

Let's take a look at how dental implants are implanted.

First: Oral examination.

1. Conduct routine periodontal examination and extraction of the customer's periodontal to determine that the tooth has no retention value, especially the adjacent tooth for in-depth examination and **.

2. Before dental implantation, the doctor will do a pre-implant diagnosis and treatment, including: soft tissue plasty, alveolar plasty, alveolar bone augmentation, maxillary sinus lift and other surgeries that cannot be performed at the same time as implant placement.

Second: the production of dental implant guide, a method for making a dental implant surgical guide with incomplete tooth loss, is divided into CT data collection, bone three-dimensional model reconstruction, patient skeletal condition design implant scheme, according to the implant position, design to determine the simulation cylinder of the implant fossa and other more than 10 schemes.

Thirdly, the implant socket is prepared according to the pre-designed template, and the implant socket of appropriate length and the corresponding series of drills are selected according to the bone mass of the alveolar bone to formulate the implant socket.

Fourth: Thread preparation: Thread preparation Prepare threads on the bone wall of the implant socket with taps, so that the implant is in closer contact with the alveolar bone and more stable.

Fifth: Implant placementThe implant is slowly implanted into the prepared implant socket and carefully tightened with special tools to make the top edge of the implant level with the bone surface, and the pulp heals with the implant more quickly.

Sixth: suture the wound.

Seventh: Implant abutment, bring the crown to wait for the implant nail to heal tightly with the alveolar bone, and complete the whole process of dental implant surgery after the crown is installed.

step1

First of all, I will do an oral panorama film, jaw CT, etc. Check the specific condition of the oral cavity, whether there is inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, etc. Then, the doctor will ask the patient about the patient's general medical history, and may need to check the blood routine, coagulation time, blood pressure, blood sugar, hepatitis B 5 items, pulse, etc.

After it is confirmed that the operation is possible, the mold removal will be diagnosed and the dental implant plan will be specified. (The first time is about 1 hour or so);

STEP2Dental implant surgery begins. A hole is prepared in the alveolar bone for the placement of an artificial implant. The bone bed is tightly sutured, and the stitches can be removed after about a week. This time it was about 2 and a half months - 3 months).

Step 3: Wait for the osseointegration phase. (The length of time varies from person to person and from crop system to crop system.) Some people, some dental implant system system takes 2-3 months; Some take more than half a year).

STEP4Install the healing abutment. Thread the implant out of the gums. Wait for the soft tissue to form.

Step 5After about 2-3 weeks, after the soft composition is formed. The implant doctor will replace the healing abutment with a permanent abutment.

STEP6Wear dental implants.

STEP7After all the work is completed, we will visit the hospital twice a year.

1. Preoperative examination and design: This is the prelude to surgery, the patient should do a preoperative examination in the dentist's office, if you have heart disease, blood disease, diabetes, etc., it is not suitable for dental implants, and there are teenagers under the age of 16 who are not suitable for dental implants because their gums have not fully grown. If you are completely suitable for dental implants, you need to do oral cleaning, anti-inflammatory and other matters after the doctor's restoration examination and design.

2. Implant nails: In the sterilized operating room, the doctor implements local anesthesia for the patient, cuts the gums at the missing tooth site, exposes the gum bone, and implants and sutures the implant nails with special implant equipment and instruments. Under normal circumstances, it will not affect the patient's eating and daily activities.

3. Bone healing: After the implant nail is implanted, it takes 2-6 months to heal with the gum bone, and the patient can wear a temporary denture prepared by the doctor during this time.

4. Connecting the abutment: When the implant nail is completely combined with the jawbone, the gums are incised, and a healing abutment is connected to the implant nail to make the soft tissue take shape within two to three weeks, during which the patient must maintain oral hygiene and no inflammation.

5. Restoration: When the soft tissue is formed, the doctor replaces the healing abutment with a permanent abutment, begins to take impressions, impressions, designs the restored teeth, and then sends them to the laboratory for processing, and when the crown or bridge is done, you can wear a new tooth supported by implant nails.

Clause.

1. Preoperative examination and preparation, including the exclusion of systemic contraindications, such as severe bleeding disorders, periodontitis, malignant tumors, and dental implants; The date of surgery and the surgical plan to be used should be determined;

Clause. 2. Carry out the implant surgery plan according to the agreed date;

Clause. 3. Entering the implant restoration stage, after the implant calcaneus is formed and combined, we need to take an impression to make artificial dentures, and then wear artificial dentures to complete the entire implant work;

Ville Mouth.

Implants (artificial roots), abutments (connectors) and crowns. The implant is the foundation, the abutment is the trunk, and the crown is the branches and leaves on the entire trunk.

1. Preoperative examination and design. This is the prelude to surgery, do a good job of preoperative examination The patient should be in the dentist's office, if the patient can be completely suitable for dental implants, through the doctor's restoration examination and design, it is necessary to do a good job of elegant cleaning, anti-inflammatory and other matters.

2. Implant the implant nail. In the sterilized operating room, the doctor administers local anesthesia to the patient, cuts the gums at the missing tooth site, exposes the gum bone, and uses special implant equipment and instruments to implant and suture the implant nails. Under normal circumstances, it will not affect the patient's eating and daily activities.

Three: artificial tooth root and bone healing. After the implant is implanted, it takes 2-6 months for the gum bone to heal, during which time the patient can wear a temporary denture prepared by the doctor.

Four: connect the abutment. Once the nail is fully integrated with the jawbone, a healing abutment is attached to the nail to allow the soft tissue to take shape within 2 to 3 weeks, during which time the patient must maintain good hygiene and no inflammation.

Five: Repair. When the soft tissue is formed, the doctor replaces the healing abutment with a permanent abutment, takes impressions, imprints, designs the restored teeth, and sends them to the lab to be processed, and when the crown or bridge is ready, you can wear the new tooth supported by the implants.
