implant Flashcards
What are the characteristics of the ideal tooth replacement? (5 characteristics)
- FIRM
- Does not destroy adjacent teeth
- Preserve alveolar bone
- Sensate
- Easy to clean
characteristics of ideal tooth replacement
firm does not destroy adjacent teeth preserve alveolar bone easy to clean sensate
alternatives for tooth replacement
tissue supported dentures
tooth supported bridge
implant supported crown
what are the pros and cons of using tissue supported denture for tooth replacement
easy to clean
does not preserve alveolar bone
pros and cons of implant
pros:
- achieve excellent aesthetics
- does not involve preparation adjacent teeth
- preserve residual bone
cons:
- expensive
- require surgery
- technically complex
- time consuming
condition needed for bone to be maintained
stress must be conducted to osteons/osteocytes
compressive stress will cause bone resorption
What are the historical types of dental implants? (6 types, acronym TrollMEMES)
- Transmandibular implant
- Mucosal insert
- Endodontic Implant (Stabilizer)
- Mini implant (temporary, transitional)
- Endosteal/Endosseous implant (Blade/root-form implant)
- Supraperiosteal implant
What are the pros of implants?
- Do not involve preparation of adjacent teeth
- Preserve residual bone
- Excellent aesthetics
what are the downsides of supraperiosteal implant
framework sits on top of periosteum, exerting pressure that causes bone resorption
What are the principles of implantation
Bone is the only tissue that regenerates
All other tissues repair with scar tissue except during fetal period
What are the conditions needed to allow bone to regenerate fully?
Needs to have certain stresses on the osteons and osteocytes to detect that the bone is being used if not the bone will atrophy
Thus, edentulous patients, bone resorb
Compressive stresses also cause bone resorption (force is too much, not physiologic, bone will resorb)
What are the historical types of dental implants? (6 types, acronym TrollMEMES)
- Transmandibular implant
- Mucosal insert
- Endodontic Implant (Stabilizer)
- Mini implant (temporary, transitional)
- Endosteal/Endosseous implant (Blade/root-form implant)
- Supraperiosteal implant
What is a mucosal insert implant
Tiny buttons in the denture, corresponding attachment button implanted ONLY in mucosa
- NOT FIRM, moves
- Does not maintain bone
What is an endodontic implant? (stabilizer)
After root canal treatment, place this implant through the root canal and apex into the bone- cause very difficult extraction
Purpose is to stabilise and preserve remaining natural teeth
What is a supraperiosteal implant?
Raise flap, take impression, cast CoCr framework that sits on top of periosteum, with tiny attachments that go through the mucosa to attach denture
What is a blade implant?
Use fissure bur to make groove, use mallet to knock implant into the bone
What is a transmandibular implant?
1 implant from mouth, 1 from chin through the mandible
What is the definition of a dental implant?
PERMUCOSAL device which is BIOCOMPATIBLE and BIOFUNCTIONAL and is placed within bone which retains prosthesis (fixed or removable)
Mad of various biomaterial (commonly titanium- gold standard)
Why use titanium in implants?
Osseointegration- serendipitous finding by Dr Branemark
- Direct contact between bone and implant surface
- Bone healed directly on titanium cylinder surface without intervening fibrous tissue
What is an alloplastic material?
Material not from the patient’s body (synthetic)
Definition of osseointegration?
(1) TIME DEPENDENT
(2) HEALING PROCESS
where by clinically asymptomatic
(3) RIGID FIXATION
of alloplastic materials is achieved, and maintained, in bone during
(4) FUNCTIONAL LOADING
(Zarb and Albrektson, 1991)
Basically ANKYLOSIS
What are the advantages of multicomponent implant compared to single piece implant?
greater retrievability in the situation of failure (e.g. if crown fractures, can just remove that part and replace, fixture is usually fine)
Why do people not use HA coatings on implants anymore?
Hydroxyapetite coating has been shown to break loose or even dissolve after a few years
Why are surface treated implants preferred to machine polished implants?
Roughened surface allows bone to grow in better, due to increased surface area of the titanium implant
Is the whole implant roughened to aid in osseointegration?
NO, transmucosal attachment has to be smooth to reduce plaque formation and biofilm adhesion
What are the parts of the implant?
- Implant body-fixture
- Abutment
- Prosthetic
What are the advantages of multicomponent implant compared to single piece implant?
greater retrievability in the situation of failure (e.g. if crown fractures, can just remove that part and replace)
easiest location to place implant and why
upper premolar
no nerve and sinus nearby
what are the downsides of mucosal insert implant (attachments used to retain denture)
not firm
does not preserve bone
what are the downsides of endodontic implant
make extraction difficult
what are the downsides of supraperiosteal implant
framework sits on top of periosteum, exerting pressure that causes bone resorption
what is a dental implant
permucosal device that is biocompatible and biofunctional that is placed within mucosa or on or within bone associated with the oral cavity to provide support for fixed or removable prosthesis
what is osseointegration
direct contact between bone and implant surface
time dependent healing process whereby clinically asymptomatic rigid fixation of alloplastic material is achieved and maintained in bone during functional loading
direct connection between living bone and load bearing endosseous implant at light microscopic level via direct bone apposition to implant surface
When do you use angulated abutments as opposed to straight axis abutments?
When there is some complication in the placement of the implant fixture in bone, where the angulation of the fixture is not corresponding to the intended prosthesis long axis. (Surgeon cock eye and drill wrongly)
What are the steps of the surgical procedure of implant placement? (4 main steps)
- Initial surgery
- Osseointegration period
- Abutment connection
- Final prosthetic restoration
benefits of threaded implant vs non threaded
threaded implant demonstrate maintenance of clear steady state bone response
enhances initial stability and increase surface contact
