4. Dental Implantology Flashcards
What are some implant surface modifications?
-Hydroxyapatite (HA): no longer used
-Micro-rough surfaces (0.5-2.0 microns) either by acid etching or spraying implant surface with titanium oxide, hydroxyapatite, aluminum oxide
-Electrowetting: wettability of implants important to improve plasma protein adherence and mesenchymal cell adherence and differentiation (Fluoride and magnesium ions used, some manufacturers package implants in saline).
How does micro surface roughness improve implants?
Increased implant to bone surface area, clot retention, earlier osseointegration, harder and stronger bone around implants by increasing mRNA expression of osteonectin and osteocaclin.
Distance between implants and natural teeth
1.5mm
Normal bone loss in first year and each year after
<1.5mm for first year
0.2mm per year after
Distance between two implants
3mm
Distance between implant and buccal/lingual wall
1mm (2mm in esthetic zone to preserve buccal bone and for emergence profile)
Distance of implant apex to IAN
2mm
Distance of implant apex to nasal floor
1mm
Each 0.25mm increase in diameter yields a x% increase in surface area
10%
Thermal necrosis during drilling occurs above temperatures of x degrees C
47 degrees C
Minimum inter-arch space for cement retained vs. screw retained crowns
5mm cement retained
8mm screw retained
Contact point to crest of bone with preserved papilla
3mm - 100%
4mm - 100%
5mm - 98%
6mm - 56%
7mm - 27%
Define osseointegration
Branemark: direct, structural, and functional connection existing between ordered, living bone and the surface of a functionally loaded implant.
Process of which there is a bone to alloplastic interface without the interposition of non-bone tissue, which is clinically asymptomatic and is maintained in bone during functional load (based on electron micrograph findings)
What is primary stability?
Mechanical stability achieved at the moment of implant placement.
Depends on bone quality (density), shape of implant, and adequacy of surgical technique.
What is secondary stability?
Biological stability achieved after bone healing (osseointegration). Influenced by bone quality, implant surface, overall health of patient, and loading protocols.
Lekholm and Zarb bone classification
Bone classification based on the ratio of cortical and cancellous bone using radiographs:
- Type 1 bone is composed mostly of compact bone
- Type 2 is mostly a compact bone surrounded by a core of trabecular bone
-Type 3 thin layer of cortical bone surrounded mostly by trabecular bone - Type 4 thin layer of cortical bone surrounded by a core of low density trabecular bone
Misch bone density classification
D1: dense cortical bone (mandible)
D2: thick cortical and coarse trabecular (ant. mandible, post mandible, ant maxilla)
D3: Thin cortical compartment with dense trabecular (ant maxilla, post maxilla, post mandible)
D4: fine trabecular, extremely thin cortical (post maxilla)
