Q

an autogenous bone, which is a bone graft taken from other areas of the patient, for example, the iliac crest.

A

Osteogenesis

21
Q

also known as osseointegrated implants, and are the most common type of implant placed.

this implant is surgically placed into the jawbone

A

endosteal implants

22
Q

Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth.

This type of implant generally is used for patients requiring a crown, bridge, or partial and full denture.

A

endosteal implant

23
Q

Implants and abutment screws are commonly made from this metal

A

titanium because of its compatibility with bone and oral tissues

24
Q

what can titanium implants be coated with

A

hydroxiapetite

25
Q

Endosteal implants have three components:

A
  1. The titanium implant
  2. The titanium abutment screw
  3. The abutment post or cylinder
26
Q

the process by which the living cells of the jawbone naturally grow around the implanted dental supports

A

Osseointegration

27
Q

how many appointments are needed for endosteal implants

A

3 appointments

28
Q

how many months is the osseointegration period

A

3-6 months

29
Q

this implant is a metal frame that is placed under the periosteum and on top of the bone

A

subperiosteal implant

30
Q

Subperiosteal implants are indicated for patients who:

A

do not have enough alveolar ridge remaining (to support the endosteal-type implant)

most frequently to support a MANDIBULAR complete denture

31
Q

this implant is inserted through the inferior border of the mandible and into the edentulous area

A

Transosteal Implant

32
Q

These implants are used primarily in patients with severely resorbed ridges and only when no other options exist.

A

transosteal implant

33
Q

The most common type of transosteal implant are called the

A

transmandibular staple implant,
OR
fixed mandibular implant.

34
Q

The health of this tissue is a critical factor in the success of dental implants.

A

peri-implant tissue

35
Q

this tissue responds to bacterial plaque with inflammation and bleeding, similarly to gingival tissues around a normal tooth

A

peri-implant

36
Q

forms on implants just as on natural teeth.

A

dental plaque and calculus

37
Q

why is calculus easy to remove from implants?

A

implants have a smooth surface, it cannot become embedded in the titanium surface.

38
Q

the goal is to remove all plaque and debris from implants how many times a day ?

A

atleast once daily

39
Q

the following devices are essential in plaque removal for implant patients:

A
  • Toothbrushes, manual or electric
  • Single-tufted toothbrushes
  • Partial denture clasp brushes
  • Interproximal brushes
  • Floss
  • Dental implant floss, with a stiff, curved end.
40
Q

specific factors that affect the success of the implant:

A
  • Patient health and lifestyle factors
  • Presence of periodontal disease
  • Lack of osseointegration
  • Fracture of bone during the osteotomy
  • Graft failure
  • Prosthetic design
  • Postimplant soft tissue defects
  • Miscalculation of bone density or tissue thickness
  • Improper selection of type of implant
  • Poor drilling technique
  • Patient force factors
41
Q

provides a natural-looking and functional replacement for missing teeth that combines the principles from fixed and removable prosthodontics with the use of bone-anchored implants.

A

dental implant

42
Q

The placement of dental implants involves both ______ & ______ of prosthesis

A

surgery and delivery

43
Q

the lower full denture yields a low rate of patient satisfaction, whereas implant dentistry has a better chance of solving the problems associated with a mandibular denture.

t or f

A

TRUE

44
Q

type of medical conditions that can contraindicate implants:

A

bone diseases that interfere with osteointegration

or

a compromised immune system can affect the healing process.

45
Q

SPECIFIC medical conditions that could interfere with implants include

A
  • diabetes
  • a suppressed immune system
  • chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
46
Q

useful for locating the exact positions of anatomical structures such as:

  • the inferior alveolar nerve
  • mental foramen
  • maxillary sinus
  • nasal floor,
  • any abnormalities
A

radiographs

47
Q

what is the patients mouth rinsed with during sterile surgical implant procedure

A

0.1% chlorhexidine.

48
Q

what kind of PPE do the clinician and surgical dental assistant wear during surgery

A

gown, mask, talcum powder free sterile gloves

49
Q

what kind of packaging are implants delivered in during the implant procedure

A
