Dental implant or denture – which is better to choose

The loss of even one tooth is accompanied by changes in the functionality of the entire row. Neighboring teeth are distorted, shifted to the side of the missing tooth. Bone loss begins in the empty area. There is no need to talk about the violation of chewing function and psychological discomfort. Implantation and classical prosthetics will help to restore the smile in this case. But dental implantation completely solves the problem of functionality and aesthetics of the tooth row. It is a physiological, durable method of prosthetics.

Methods of restoration of missing teeth

For the installation of any prosthetic structure, a support is necessary. Removable prostheses can be fixed directly to the gums, while fixed prostheses are supported by your own teeth or implants.

Removable prosthetics

Removable structures based on nylon or acrylic (full plate prosthesis) are fixed in the mouth by suction to the gums. They are indicated for comple…

An alternative to dental implants

August 29, 2024 Reading time ~ 7 min Number of reads: 99004

Patients are looking for an alternative to implantation because of financial or clinical limitations to implantation of artificial roots. Removable prostheses (bra, flexible, acrylic) and fixed products made of metal-ceramic, all-ceramic, zirconium (dental bridges) are able to replace the implants incompletely. Rarely missing units are replaced by displacing the neighboring ones with braces. Implantation is the preferred option: it guarantees an aesthetic, long-lasting and reliable result, with safety for the neighboring units and benefits for the jawbone.

When an alternative to dental implants may be necessary

Implantation is not organized for everyone. Contraindications to surgery are:

Psychiatric pathologies; immunodeficiency conditions; cancer; decompensated diabetes mellitus; rheumatism; blood clotting problems; dis…

Dental implants in HIV infection

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the last stage of HIV infection. The body's ability to resist infections and diseases is rapidly declining, which affects organs and systems. Until recently, implantation in HIV was considered impossible. The emergence of one-stage minimally invasive techniques has made it possible to implant implants in people with severe chronic pathologies, including HIV and AIDS. Even patients diagnosed with immunodeficiency or hepatitis can be successfully implanted with the RUTT implant.

Whether implants can be used with HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gradually destroys the immune system, using its resources to replicate new viral particles. At a certain point, the body's resistance decreases to a critical point. An HIV-infected patient develops severe diseases that are rare in people with normal immunity. These are called opportunistic or AIDS-associated diseases.

Implantation is a surgical…

Dental implantation in hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammatory pathology of the liver. When the disease develops, increased bleeding of wounds is observed against the background of protein deficiency. The prolonged healing period limits the number of surgical interventions: implants implantation in patients with hepatitis is longer and more difficult. On the eve of implantation of implants in a patient with hepatitis it is important to make a thorough preparation: examination by an implantologist, medical examination, tests. Permission for implantation is given by the therapist.

Is it possible to implant teeth with hepatitis?

Hepatitis is not an absolute contraindication to implantation. The operation is done if a number of conditions are met:

hepatitis is diagnosed in remission; there are no manifestations of pathology; blood parameters are not disturbed; the patient undergoes regular preventive examinations with a specialized doctor and follows therapeutic principle…

Can dental implants be placed with diabetes mellitus

November 6, 2023 Reading time ~ 6 min Number of reads: 7981

Diabetes mellitus is a pathology of the endocrine system, accompanied by insulin insufficiency and failure of carbohydrate metabolism in the body. High blood glucose concentration in diabetes worsens wound healing. This is a factor that previously prevented implantation in diabetics.

The impact of the disease on the condition of the teeth

With increasing blood sugar levels, the negative effect of glucose on the body increases - conditions for the development of a number of oral diseases appear:

Hyposalivation (saliva deficiency). Dry mouth destroys the enamel layer - caries develops, pathogenic microflora spreads in the oral cavity. At high rates, acetone is released, increasing the demineralization of enamel. Inflammation of the gums. The root system of the tooth is destroyed. Wounds take a long time to heal, with the attachment of inf…

What are the dangers of implants from different manufacturers

Dental implants are made of medical grade titanium. This metal is inert to the natural tissues of the body, does not cause oxidation and other negative reactions. But in the manufacture of titanium alloys, a small percentage of impurities is allowed, and each element has its own electrochemical potential and bioactivity. When installing implants of different brands, metals-impurities in the acidic environment of the mouth may not combine, causing allergies, galvanic syndrome ("battery effect" in the mouth), rejection of the design.

Materials for implants

To create implants, metals not subject to corrosion, electrochemical reactions, neutral to the surrounding tissues are used. This is titanium and its alloys - a strong, lightweight material, resistant to corrosion, bioinert, contributing to the rapid formation of bone around the implant.

Manufacturers use different grades of titanium for implant constructions. In Russia they use tech…

Indications for dental implants

November 22, 2023 Reading time ~ 1 min Number of reads: 2513

The procedure of dental implantation is popular. The number of those who want to install the latest generation implants in ICSDI ROOTT - a reputable dental center of the capital is growing.

There are indications for implants - "necessary but not sufficient" reasons for implant placement. It is important that the patient has no absolute contraindications.

Indications for implantation:

A lost single incisor or molar with healthy neighboring ones. Sharpening intact dental elements for a bridge is a medical "sacrilege", while implant placement is a safe way to regain chewing function. End Defect. Implantation is the only solution to restore the last missing tooth in a row. In this case, there was no hope for a long-term orthopedic effect after the installation of a bridge, because the structure was attached to a single support. Having a "root…

Contraindications to dental implants

The absence of teeth causes many problems: the jaw system is disturbed, internal organs, posture and psychological state are affected. Difficulties with diction and articulation appear. Dentists have developed several protocols for restoring teeth, the most modern of which is implant prosthetics. But, as with any medical intervention, there are contraindications to dental implants.

Implantation is a method of dental rehabilitation of patients who suffer from the absence of teeth. The essence of the method is that a titanium root is inserted in place of the lost unit. Its surface is gradually overgrown with bone tissue and the implant begins to perform all the functions of a living root: it takes on the chewing load, stimulates tissue metabolism, significantly slows down the loss of bone.

Dental implants - contraindications

Let's start with the good news: the list of contraindications is shrinking as new protocols are developed literally ever…

Recommendations after implantation

December 10, 2023 Reading time ~ 2 min Number of reads: 7068

Dental implant surgery can bring trouble if a person does not follow the doctor's recommendations and appointments. Our clinic performs dental implant surgeries every day with minimal negative consequences. But healing also depends on the patients.

To accelerate healing, minimize the risk of implant rejection and complications, follow the recommendations prescribed for the first days after surgery and in the future. These include food, oral care, and lifestyle.

It is especially important to comply with the requirements at the stage of postoperative healing, when the oral mucosa is vulnerable to infection.

1. Mode and diet

It is forbidden to eat in the first two hours. After two hours, warm soup or other soft food is allowed. Spicy foods, fruits with acid are not recommended. Do not consume seeds, nuts, stretchy can…
