Exam 4 CH 33 The Patient with Dental Implants Flashcards
Term;Segment connecting the submerged implant body to the prosthetic component. The abutment enters the oral cavity providing a platform for attaching crowns or bridges?
Abutment
Term; capable of existing in harmony with the surrounding biologic environment?
Biocompatible
Term; Layers of fibrous connective tissue between the implant and surrounding bone. Also called fibrous integration; indicative of failed osseointegration?
Fibrous encapsulation
Term;A procedure that attempts to regenerate lost periodontal structures?
Guided tissue regeneration
Term; The direct attachment or connection of osseous tissue to an inert alloplastic material without intervening connective tissue?
Osseointegration
Term; Destructive inflammatory process of the periodontal tissues around an implant characterized by progressive bone loss in addition to soft tissue inflammation with hemorrhage and/or exude; similar to periodontitis in a natural tooth?
Peri-implantitis
Term; A common titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) used for dental implants that contains 6% aluminum to increase strength and decrease weight and 4% vanadium to prevent corrosion?
Titanium alloy
What is the most common dental implant used?
Endosseous (Endosteal) Implant
T/F Mobility is the #1 indicator fo implant failure?
True
Biofilm around the titanium abutment should be removed with what?
Gauze strips
Reversible inflammation of the periodontal tissues around an implant with no subsequent bone loss; similar to gingivitis in a natural tooth is?
Peri-implant mucositis
What implant is placed fully within the bone?
Endosseous
What is the structural and functional union between implant and bone?
Osseointegration
The risk for implant in smokers is?
twice as high as in nonsmokers
T/F Bone will resorb when teeth are removed. Dental implants preserve surrounding bone through function.
Both statements are true
Implants may be indicated for patients who:
have an edentulous maxilla
All of he following interdental implements could be recommended to a patient with implants ?
- Synthetic yarn
- folded strip of gauze
- floss threader
