Implant lecture Flashcards
what are the basic parts of the implant
- implant body
- abutment
- crown
why do we use titanium in implants
- excellent biocompatibility
- low weight/high strength
- excellent corrosion resistance
- contains a titacium oxide layer that promotes adhesion of osteogenic cells
what is bone level
the interface of implant and abutment is at the bone
what is tissue level
the interface of the implant and abutment is at the tissue
what are the pros and cons of bone level
- better esthetics, no metal collar
-can achieve primary closure if needed - microenvironment allows bacteria to be present at bone level
- less cleansable
- harder to see residual cement
what are the pros and cons of tissue level
- collar creates a biologic width
- bacteria is at tissue level, away from the bone
- metal collar may show through
- more cleansabke
- easier to see residual cement
what are the types of prostheses
- single crowns
- FPDs
- implant supported RPDs
- overdnetures
- hybrid dentures
what is implant retained prostheses
removable
what is implant supported s=prostheses
fixed
what is osseointegration
a stable implant relies on direct structural and functional connection between vital bone and the surface of an implant
what are the factors that determine successfull osseointegration
- biocompatibility of the implant surface
- macro and microscopic nature of the implant surface
- status of the implant sute (non infected bone, bone quality)
- surgical technique
- undisturbed healing
- long term loading and prosthetic design
what are the patient factors that affect the implant success
- diabetes (controlled vs uncontrolled)
- osteoporosis and bisphosphonate use (not a contraindication though)
- smoking
how does smoking affect implants
- increased failure of dental implants
- 84% vs 98%
- depends on use - heavy or light
what is osseointegration clinically
- immobile
- clear sound to precussion
- no pain or infectino
- no paresthesia
what is osseointegration radiographically
- no radiolucent peri-implant space
-minimal bone loss- <1 mm remodeling, <0.1mm/year after the first year
what is contact osteogenesis
bone first forms on the implant surface
- bone formation progresses from implant surface to existing bone
- rough surface implants
what is distance osteogenesis
- bone forms on the surface of the existing bone
- bone formation progresses from the existing bone to implant surface
- smooth or machined surface implants
what are the implant placement timing
- immediate: at the time of extraction
- delayed: 6-10 weeks after extraction
- late: 6 months or more after extraction
