With the aid of technological tools, dental implants, which many people thought took a long time to complete, can now be completed in just one day. Liang Jiayuan, dental implant specialist director of the Modern Dental Digital Dental Implant Center of the Modern Dental Medical System, said that "instant extraction and implantation" can also be called immediate extraction and implantation, and immediate dental implantation. Simply put, it is a dental implant method that removes useless teeth and immediately implants artificial tooth roots.

Artificial dental implants are now a common way to treat missing teeth. Compared with traditional dental bridges and removable dentures, although dental implants are more expensive, they also have obvious advantages. When performing dental implant treatment, you must first remove the original problematic tooth and wait four to six months for the wound to heal before proceeding with the second stage of dental implant treatment. The overall treatment time is quite long.

Liang Jiayuan shared that with the development of medical technology, the "instant extraction and implantation" method of dental implantation has been derived. As the name implies, tooth extraction and dental implantation are performed at the same time. The abbreviation of immediate tooth extraction and immediate dental implantation can effectively shorten the treatment period of artificial dental implantation. When a tooth must be extracted and replaced with an artificial dental implant due to root fractures or other reasons, the doctor can evaluate the tooth through immediate extraction and implantation.

During the treatment, the doctor will use the natural dental socket left after tooth extraction, immediately implant artificial tooth roots, and completely fill the cavity with bone repair. Tooth extraction and dental implantation are performed at the same time. There is no need to drill another hole. Not only the wound during the operation is smaller, but also the treatment time can be effectively shortened. It is especially suitable for busy business people or patients who have less time to see a dentist.

Surgical evaluation of extraction and implantation. In addition to the technical test of the surgeon being higher than that of ordinary dental implants, the extraction and implantation method also requires the assistance of high-tech instruments. Liang Jiayuan said that with the advancement of dental technology, doctors can now confirm the condition of the alveolar bone in the dental implant area through 3D computed tomography before surgery, making the treatment more precise, with smaller wounds, less bleeding, and faster recovery.

Liang Jiayuan pointed out that the immediate extraction and implantation surgery has the following three advantages:

1.Tooth extraction and dental implantation are performed at the same time, effectively shortening the treatment course.

2.The natural cavity after tooth extraction is directly used for dental implantation, without the need to drill additional holes.

3.Reduce alveolar bone loss caused by tooth extraction and maintain the shape of the gums.

By shortening the treatment process, patients spend less time traveling back and forth. The doctor said that implants are directly inserted into the dental socket after tooth extraction without the need for additional surgery. The hole for the implant is drilled out. In this way, the physiological absorption of the alveolar bone is reduced, gum recession is avoided, and the shape of the gums can be maintained, making the shape more beautiful after healing.

Generally speaking, most patients' oral conditions can be used for extraction and implant surgery, but they still need to be evaluated by a professional doctor. If there are serious alveolar bone loss, periodontal disease, root apex lesions, etc., more careful evaluation is needed. The final judgment for extraction and implant surgery should be based on the patient's current alveolar bone condition.
