Artificial dental implant

Artificial dental implant

What is an artificial dental implant?

A titanium artificial tooth root with good biocompatibility is implanted in the missing tooth to replace the lost tooth root and then sutured. After a few months, the artificial tooth root will be tightly integrated with the bone and can withstand the force of normal bites, and then a denture crown will be placed on top of it to restore the bite function.
Whether you have just lost a tooth or you have been missing it for many years, even if it is just one tooth, you will realize that you have lost an important part of your body. Today, artificial dental implants are one of the treatment methods that combine medical technology and modern technology, and also give us a third set of teeth.

Sequelae of missing teeth

If a missing tooth is not rebuilt, the non-adjacent teeth will fall toward the missing area, and the opposing teeth will lose their bite and overgrow. In addition to affecting the original normal bite, the irregular arrangement of the teeth will increase the difficulty of cleaning, which can easily lead to tooth decay or periodontal disease. If multiple missing teeth are severe, it may cause facial asymmetry, depression, etc. in appearance.

Comparison of methods of reconstructing teeth

Reconstruction method   Treatment Appearance support part Degree of bite recovery Does it harm healthy teeth? Foreign body sensation alveolar bone atrophy
Artificial dental implant Titanium implants with good implant compatibility
Replace lost tooth roots
Beautiful as real teeth artificial root 90~100% none none no
Traditional dental bridge Grind the front and back teeth in the missing tooth area smaller
Carrying in the form of piers to support the middle dentures
Materials will change over time Healthy teeth on both sides of missing teeth 50~80% Healthy teeth before and after must be ground None, but easy to stuff food yes
Removable dentures Grind a small part of the natural tooth
Use metal hooks to support dentures
Unsightly, with metal ring Good teeth and gum tissue 10~30% A small amount of healthy teeth must be removed serious yes

Benefits of artificial dental implants

  1. Artificial dental implants do not need to destroy adjacent teeth like traditional dentures. They only need to place artificial tooth roots in the missing tooth area.
  2. Unlike removable dentures, they must be removed and cleaned every day and are less able to bite.
  3. The bite strength of artificial dental implants is close to that of real teeth. It can be said to be the third set of teeth brought about by technological advancement.
  4. It can help maintain bone height, and bones are less likely to atrophy and alveolar bone loss caused by missing teeth.

Danger areas that must be paid attention to when dental implants

Confirm before surgery

Before the surgery, the dental implant surgeon will use the information provided by the 3D computed tomography scan to reconfirm the patient's bone condition and the location of the dental implant.

blood extractionPRF

The patient's own blood is extracted into PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), which can avoid infection problems caused by "artificial chemically synthesized growth factors" and "non-autologous tissue rejection effects" that lead to surgical failure, and improve the safety and success rate of dental implant surgery.

TCI physiological monitor

The surgery will also be equipped with TCI physiological monitoring equipment (to monitor the patient's ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure and heartbeat during the surgery) to increase the safety of the surgical process.

Confirm implant position

After the implant is placed, a 3D computed tomography scan is taken again to confirm the implant placement.

Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy(HBOT)It allows patients to inhale pure oxygen for a short period of time in a hyperbaric chamber with a pressure greater than one atmosphere to increase the concentration of oxygen molecules in the blood and accelerate the repair speed and ability of body tissues. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for dental treatment to promote wound healing.

Post-operative instructions

After the patient has had adequate rest, the specialist will explain health education and postoperative precautions to the patient, and provide him with a paper copy before he can return home.

Dental implant navigation system: replace the blind spots of traditional dental implants and reposition the dental implant journey!

Have you ever been to an unfamiliar place and used the digital electronic map on your mobile phone to navigate and find your way? Dental implant navigation is similar to this. Every patient’s mouth is unique and may encounter many different situations, so dental implant treatment cannot be completely standardized.
Therefore, we use dental implant navigation, and the surgical information and digital files are displayed simultaneously on the computer screen, allowing the doctor to place the dental implant at the target location more quickly, accurately, and safely.
With the help of real-time computer tomography data, dangerous areas can be grasped in time, which is relatively safer. Moreover, the drill system on the hand can also immediately interpret the angle, depth, and position. It is similar to the concept of GPS navigation we use when driving. Carefully monitor all real-time information and stay away from high-risk areas, making dental implants a great success.
