Implant Planning and Placement Flashcards
what is osseointegration
direct functional and structural connection between load bearing dental implants and living bone
what is primary osseointegration
implant anchored in bone due to frictional forces provided between osteotomy and dental implant design features
what is secondary osseointegration
functional connection between bone and implant
living bone grows onto surface of implant
what is the healing process after implant insertion
granulation tissue in wound
immature woven bone
mature lamellar bone
what is the supra-crestal tissue like with an implant in it
more collagen
less fibroblasts
collagen fibres orientate parallel to implant crown
what is the sub-crestal tissue like with an implant in it
implant anchored to bone by direct functional contact
no physiologic adaption present
rigid connection
what materials can be used for implants
titanium
titanium zirconium
ceramic
when would you use a bone level implant
in aesthetics
when would you use tapered implants
increased stability in immediate placement
root convergence apically
what would dictate the length and diameter of implant use
site
indication
local anatomy
what are the different surface treatments for implants
sand blasting
acid etch
plasma spray
what is the purpose of implants
replace missing teeth with aesthetic, functional and predictable restoration
what is assessed prior to extraction of a tooth for dental implant placement
prosthetic value of tooth
periodontal status
endodontic status
what medications may compromise implant survival
SSRIs
PPIs
bisphosphonates
steroids
what medical conditions can compromise implant success
radiotherapy
poorly controlled diabetes
CVS disease
