Dental implantation is the replacement of the root of an extracted tooth with a biocompatible metal rod that fuses with living bone tissue. The upper part of the implant is prosthetized with a crown or bridge, providing aesthetics and functionality. Some people refuse the surgery, condemning themselves to the discomfort and low functionality of using removable prostheses.
Lyubov Aleksandrovna, Podolsk "Dentalroott" is the third clinic where I turned with a desire to restore my teeth. In the first in our Podolsk I was refused because of diabetes (although in a compensated stage). In the second one in Moscow they voiced a cosmic price for 4 implants, a lot of additional procedures plus bone grafting, and without it, they said - no way. Well, I didn't stop there. Dr. Voznyuk, whom I consulted at the Ruth Clinic, carefully studied my scans and anamnesis and told me that it was possible to place implants directly, without grafting - but special basal implant…Dental Implants – Placement Process and Lifespan

All-on-3 implantation (Trefoil)
Reading time ~ 6 min Number of readings: 2185
Nobel Biocare was the first company to offer many methods to restore teeth. Among them: zygomatic implants, implants with immediate loading, All-on-4 protocol. One of the company's latest developments is the All-on-3 or Trefoil method. The method was patented in 2015, but began to be widely used in 2017. Scientific studies with the results of grafting in the long term are impossible to conduct due to the novelty of the technique.
Differences of the Trefoil protocol from other methods The design is placed on three implants. 3 titanium posts are inserted into the lower jaw, strictly vertically, at the same level. The titanium arch (beam) is an innovative invention. 5 joints allow for a stress-free fit (passive fit), which compensates for vertical, horizontal and angular deviations of the implants. The arch is manufactured in advance, without taking into account t…Implantation at the same time as a sinus elevator
Implantation is the replacement of a lost tooth with an artificial tooth. In order for the implant to function like a natural tooth, it must be securely anchored. Unfortunately, once we lose a tooth, the bone tissue begins to decline. Over time, the atrophy becomes so pronounced that there is simply nowhere to insert the metal post, there is not enough room for it.
In the upper jaw, bone loss is accompanied by the lowering of the maxillary sinus membrane. As a result, there is not enough bone volume, and there is a risk of the membrane rupturing during surgery.
Dentists have developed a method of bone grafting, which raises the wall of the maxillary sinus. They called it sinus lifting, from the words "sinus" (maxillary sinus) and "lift".
What is a sinus elevator for implantation?The main task of sinus lifting is to ensure sufficient bone volume for implant placement.
The essence of the method is that when the sin…
Recommendations after implant placement
An implant is a metal screw that is screwed into the bone to replace a lost tooth. In order for it to be able to perform all the functions of the natural root, the implant must take root and grow bone tissue. This ensures its stability in the gum. The period of engraftment varies from patient to patient and takes 3-5 months on average. To ensure that the post is fixed in the gum and does not wobble under load, dentists ask to follow a number of recommendations. This minimizes the risks of complications and rejection, accelerates healing and improves quality of life.
Implantation is a surgical intervention. After any surgery, you need time to recover. Especially important are the first days after dental implants, when the mucosa is vulnerable to infection and the implant has not yet stabilized sufficiently.

Possible complications after dental implants
Implantation is a method of restoring teeth by screwing a titanium post in place of a missing root. Dental implantation is the only procedure to date that restores the functionality and aesthetics of teeth to their full potential.
However, it is worth bearing in mind that implantation is a surgical intervention and, like any operation, has its consequences. Sometimes they are insignificant and pass on their own. In some cases, the problem must be solved by the doctor.
Complications after dental implantation are conditionally divided into 3 types:
Operative Postoperative early Postoperative late What can happen during surgeryNo matter how expensive and high-quality implants are, complications during surgery depend on the qualifications of the implantologist. This is why choosing a doctor is so important. Experienced doctors practically never have misfires in the form of:
Bleeding due to vessel damageBleeding can b…

Which implantation method should I choose?

The arguments in favor of implantation are plentiful: from the unnecessity of grinding neighboring teeth to the lifelong results of the procedure. But making a choice among implant systems is not an easy task.
Methods of implantation Classic protocol. It takes place in 2 stages. Place the implant: incise the mucosal flap, implant, suture the wound. Do osseointegration. Time for the procedure on upper teeth is 6 months, for lower teeth - 4 months. At the 2nd stage, the mucosa over the implant is incised, the abutment is fixed, the gingival margin is formed, and the prosthesis is placed Single-phase protocol. Single-phase protocol. The operation is minimally invasive: mucosal incisions and wound closure are not made. The implant is implanted through a small puncture. On the 2nd day after implantation, a temporary crown made of metal-plastic is placed. Th…Implant engraftment
Implantation is the only prosthetic method that restores the functionality of the entire tooth, not just the crown part. A dental implant is a multi-component construction made of biocompatible material (titanium and its alloys) that is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth unit. It fully replaces the natural tooth, taking over all its functions. Those who dare to implant are usually interested in how dental implants take root, how long it takes, and what problems may arise.
The viability of the artificial root depends not only on the choice of its type, shape and size according to the parameters of the jawbone. But also on the general state of health, the correctness of implant placement, compliance with the doctor's instructions in the postoperative period.
How long do dental implants take to healThe process of fusion of the implant with the bone is called osseointegration. It occurs in this way:
In the first 30 days after…
