Dental Implants Flashcards
Worst place for an implant.
Posterior maxilla
Keratinized or non-keratinized soft tissue better?
Keratinized
Mobile or immobile tissue better?
Immobile
Bone type in the posterior maxilla.
IV
Strongest bone
Anterior mandible
Can you place an implant in non-keratinized tissue?
YES! Though it’s not as resilient to forces.
Implant materials
1) Metals
2) Ceramics
3) Polymers
Implant materials that fuse to bone the best.
Ceramics
Incorporate more than one class of materials into the design of a single implant.
Composite materials
Perk about ceramics as an implant material
Biocompatible
Types of Implants
1) Subperiosteal
2) Endosseous
3) Transosseous
Most common type of implant.
Endosseous
Implants only used in the mandible and go completely thru the bone.
Transosseous
Where are endosseous implants most successful?
Mandible
Most common type of endosseous implant.
Screw
Types of endosseous implants.
1) Blade
2) Cylinder
3) Screw
4) Basket
Direct contact of bone to implant surface without intervening soft tissue at the light microscopic level.
Osseointegration
The standard of care radiograph when placing implants.
Periapicals
This saves the bone you drilled out of the site.
Bone trap
Better to use hand instrument or drill when placing an implant?
Hand instrument bc has more control.
When you expose and move the IAN to place the implant without worrying about injuring the nerve, then put the nerve back AFTER you place the implant.
Nerve repositioning
One stage closure.
When you place the implant and abutment on the same day.
Two stage closure.
Place the implant with the healing cap, then place the abutment later.
Types of transosseous implants
1) Mandibular staple
2) TMI (Bosker)
3) Smooth staple
Type of transosseous implant that is inserted from the external surface of the face.
TMI
Transosseous implants extend how far above the gingiva?
6 mm
