Exam 1 Flashcards
Initial definition of osseointegration?
“Direct structural and funcitonal connection between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant”
Later definition of osseointegration
“Process in which clinically asymptomatic rigid fixation of alloplastic materials is achieved and maintained in bone during functional loading”
On what level of magnification is osseointegration defined?
Light microscope
When was titanium originally used?
1950, titanium chambers embedded into soft tissue of ears of rabbits
When were implants first study for osseointegration?
1952
Branemark implanted titanium in rabbit femur
When were guidelines put in place for implants?
1982 - toronto
What Med history factors effect implant survival?
Smoking and radiation
Are implants contraindicated with smokers? What are the rates of success?
No
Smokers: 89%
Non Smokers: 96-98%
What pretx records are required for implants?
- Pano radiographs
- PA of edentulous area to be restored
- Implant Diagnostic Checklist
- Mounted dx cast and wax up
Diagnostic checklist
- Edentulous space to be restored
- Edentulous ridge
- Soft Tissue
- Occlusion
Edentulous space
MD width at least 6.5mm, ideally 7mm for single tooth
Double for two teeth
BL width - molar area at least 7mm
Height - PA radiograph is necessary
Max post/man ant = at least 10mm
Man post = at least 12 mm above IAN
Interocclusal space = at least 5mm from ridge crest to opposing dentition
Soft tissue
Thin biotype - difficult to manage esthetics
Thick biotype - predictable esthetics
Occlusion
Anterior guidance
Parafunction
Inter-arch relationship
TX planning options
- Nothing
- RPD
- FPD
- Implant Crown (IC)
Advantages of Implant Crowns
- Conservative
- Improved Hygiene
- Esthetics
- Maintains Bone
Disadvantages of IC
- May require additional surgery - graft/sinus lift
- Long tx time
- Expensive
Contraindications of implant tx
- Inadequate bone height and width
2. Presence of bone loss around adjacent teeth (anterior esthetics compromised)
Most common complication of implant restoration
Abutment screw loosening - easily managed
What has the highest survival rate in terms of prosthesis
Single tooth replacement with implants - 97%
Edentulous arch tx options
- Nothing
- Immediate denture
- Complete Denture
- Implant Overdenture
How many edentulous pt have implants?
1-5%
First choice tx for edentulous mandible
2-implant overdenture
What is the braenmark definition of osseointegration
Direct structural and functional connection between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant
