15. Implantology Flashcards
Types of implants (regarding their anchorage component as it relates to the bone): (3)
- Upon the bone (eposteal/subperiosteal).
- Through the bone (transosteal).
- Within the bone (endosteal/endosseous).
What is alloplastic material?
“Any non-biologic material suitable for implantation
as an alloplast”.
Types of implants (regarding their silhouette or
geometrical form): (6)
- Fin.
- Screw.
- Cylinder.
- Blade.
- Basket.
- Root form.
Almost all current implants are … (4)
endosseous and
either cylindrical, root-shaped or screws.
How are implants placed?
surgically placed into the bone doing a osteotomy with especial drills
What is a dental implant? (3)
- alloplastic material prosthetic device implanted into oral tissues beneath MUCOSAL AND/OR PERIOSTEAL LAYER on or within the bone
- placed into/on jaw bone
- for retention or support for fixed/removeable dentures
Who discovered osteointegration?
Brånemark 1952
What happened with the discovery of osteointegration? (2)
- Brånemark 1952 discovered that bone adheres to titanium
- experiments with rabbit femur
What is osteointegration? (4)
- Direct attachment or connection of osseous tissue to an inert, alloplastic material
without intervening connective tissue - Direct connection of exogenous materials’ and the host bone tissues, without intervening fibrous connective tissue present
- Interface between alloplastic materials and
bone - Thanks to titanium oxide
The most used brands for implantology (5)
- Nobel Biocare (Brånemark system).
- Straumann.
- Biomet 3i.
- Zimmer.
- Astra Tech (Dentsply).
When do you chose Number, location, width, length, etc of implants ?
AFTER deciding the type of
prosthesis
Why do we place implants?
to place a denture
Do implants on their own make any sense? (lol)
no
What is a dental implant abutment? (2)
-connected to the implants after the healing process is over.
- connect the
implant (fixture) to the
prosthesis.
What are the parts of an implant? (2)
Body
Platform
What are the types of implant connections? (2)
External
Internal
What does the implant body surface condition? (3)
◦ Quality of osteointegration.
◦ Healing time.
◦ Long term success.
What are the main implant body surface types? (2)
◦ Additive (plasma spray).
◦ Subtractive (acid etch, sandblasting…).
The implant body is not important during….
prosthetic rehabilitation
What is important for prosthetic rehabilitation?
