Reading time ~ 3 min Number of readings: 2539

The surgeon can refuse the patient in sinus elevator, if he has health problems. Conventionally, contraindications to surgery are divided into two groups: absolute and relative.

Absolute contraindications

These include conditions that make it difficult to carry out surgical manipulations or repeatedly reduce the chances of implant engraftment. Surgery is not possible in:

mental disorders, severe heart disease, cancer, tuberculosis, blood clotting disorders, autoimmune diseases (lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis), pregnancy. Relative contraindications

They can be easily eliminated or corrected by the time of implant placement. The decision to operate is made by the surgeon after a thorough diagnosis of the patient and consultation with subspecialty doctors.

Relative contraindications include:

Recommendations after sinus elevator

Reading time ~ 4 min Number of readings: 14015

Recovery time after a sinus elevator depends on the surgical technique, the patient's health status, and adherence to the surgeon's recommendations. Most patients are fully recovered in 5-7 days. On the 7th-10th day, the doctor invites for a control examination to assess tissue healing and remove sutures.

What sensations bother me after surgery?

Before the procedure, the surgeon will tell you how the rehabilitation period will be. The first 2-3 days, patients are bothered by swelling and pain on the side of the face where the gum was opened.

Pain

The most severe is in the first 3-6 hours after sinus elevator. To deal with it, the surgeon will prescribe over-the-counter analgesics (usually ibuprofen). Take the analgesic every 3-4 hours, but no more than 5 times a day.

If the operation was performed on an empty stomach (under general anes…

Where to do implantation inexpensively and qualitatively?

Implantation is a surgery to replace a natural tooth with an artificial tooth. A metal post, the implant, is screwed into the gum, replacing the removed root. Then a crown is placed on it.

Implantation allows you to save neighboring teeth, because they do not have to be depulped and ground, as in the case of a bridge. The artificial jaw is perfectly supported on the implants. It can even be made irremovable. But implants also provide stable support for a removable jaw.

Implantation has few disadvantages. Contraindications for health reasons, the duration of the two-stage protocol and, most importantly, the price. Therefore, many patients are concerned with the question: "where to place inexpensive implants?". And the concept of "inexpensive" is different for everyone.

What affects the cost of implantation Manufacturer

Traditionally, the most expensive implants are made by the pioneers in this field - European brands. Nobel Biocare, St…

Where is the best place to get dental implants?

Implantation of teeth has entered the life of modern man, but still most people are wary of this operation. Expensive and long - these are the main associations. But this is not the case at all.

An implant is a titanium pin (rod) that is screwed into the gum. There it overgrows bone tissue and serves as a solid base for a crown. Why is it better to have an implant? Implant-supported bridges and dentures hold firmly and do not irritate the mucosa. They prevent bone loss, which means that your smile remains youthful and your jaw does not droop. In addition, implants are easy to care for, no different from natural teeth.

What about expensive and time-consuming?

Yes, implants are not cheap. But dentures and bridges need to be replaced regularly, while implants will last for the rest of your life. And it's not so clear-cut about "long" anymore. There are different implant protocols. Two-stage, also called classical, take several months. …

German dental implants: types and features

Russian patients like implants from Germany because of their long service life. Many of them come with a lifetime warranty. The quality of the products is confirmed by certificates of the European Union and the ISO 13485 quality system for medical products.

Implantologists appreciate them because the system can be tailored to any clinical case. In addition, all implantation protocols are carefully designed to minimize complications.

Among the countries that produce implants, Germany takes one of the leading places, primarily because the manufacturers rely on a strong scientific base. Scientists develop new types of surfaces, threads, and shapes of implants to increase the level of engraftment and accelerate osseointegration. Reputable medical journals regularly publish research data that confirm a high percentage of successful engraftment.

There are several types of German implants on the Russian dental market.

Russian dental implants

Dental implants in Russia began to be manufactured in the mid-90s. This allowed engineers and implantologists to use foreign experience and scientific research data in their developments. Russian dental implants meet modern requirements to the physical properties of products - in their production they use medical titanium of high purification, and the surface is processed by sandblasting. Unfortunately, in the field of technology and methodology, domestic products are inferior to foreign ones.

Conmet

Conmet implants appeared on the market in 1996, they were the first implants produced in Russia.

The company Conmet supplies the following types of implants:

Cylindrical. Diameters from 3.5 to 5.5 mm and lengths from 8 to 16 mm. Conical. Their diameter is 3.4-4.5 mm with the same length as the cylindrical ones. Classic. They have a diameter of 4.0 to 4.8 mm and a length of 8 to 12 mm. Mini. Diameter 1.8-2.0 mm, length 8-12 …

Swedish implants: features and comparison

Implants were introduced in Sweden in 1952. A Swedish scientist, Per-Ingvar Branemark, discovered the phenomenon of osseointegration and applied it to dentistry. He discovered that a titanium post overgrows bone tissue in such a way that it is very difficult to remove it. Based on this property of bone tissue, Nobel Biocare developed the first implants from Sweden.

Nobel Biocare remains the leader in global implant production, but it is quickly being overtaken by another Swedish company, Astra Tech Implant System, which is part of the international corporation Dentsply Sirona.

Swedish dental implants: features

Implant or bridge – which is better for missing teeth?

Bridges and dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. With a bridge, only the outer, crown part is restored. An implant is an artificial root made of titanium, which is integrated into the bone tissue and takes over the functions of the natural tooth root. All things being equal, a classic bridge is not able to compete with implants. Although implant placement is a physiologic technology, the bridge prosthetics supported by your own teeth does not lose ground.

What is a dental bridge

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic structure consisting of several artificial crowns. It allows you to restore a segment of missing consecutive tooth units from 1 to 3. Two supports are required for attachment, which are your own teeth. That is why bridges are not used when the farthest units are lost (end defect).

The classic bridge is a framework in the form of several crowns made of metal or precious alloys, covered with a layer of ceramic …
