Implant Supported Prosthesis Flashcards
What are 3 reasons why we do an implant supported prosthesis
Superior stability and retention
Prevention of bone loss
Improved esthetics and function
What are the 2 support types
Tissue-supported
Implant-Supported
What are the 2 designs
Fixed
Removable
This support type relies fully on implants
Implant-supported
This support type is a combination of implants and soft tissue support
Tissue-supported
This design is a permanent restoration, non-removable by the patient
Fixed
This design is removable by the patient, supported by implants and attachments
Removable
Full-arch vs partial arch
Full= rehabilitating a complete edentulous arch
Partial = Restoring one or more missing teeth
What are the 3 benefits of implant supported prostheses
Enhanced functionality and comfort
Improved esthetics and confidence
Long-term preservation of oral structures
Limitations of implant supported prostheses
High initial cost
Surgical risks and complications
Requires adequate bone volume and patient compliance
What are the 8 advantages of removable implant supported prosthese
-The treatment may be less expensive for the patient
-Fewer implants may be required
-Less bone augmentation may be necessary before implant insertion
-Treatment will be shorter if no bone augmentation is required
- Facial esthetics can be enhanced with labial flanges and denture teeth
- Daily home care is easier
- The prosthesis can be removed at night to manage parafunction
- Long-term treatment of complications is facilitated
What are 7 advantages of fixed implant supported prostheses
- Psychological (feels more like natural teeth)
- Abundant bone and adequate crown height for a removable overdenture
- Longevity (lasts the life of the implants)
- Less maintenance (no attachments to change or adjust)
- Less food entrapment
- Similar implant number as completely implant supported overdentures
- Similar lab fees as complete implant supported overdenture
Maintenance and long term care:
Keeling the prosthesis functional
Regular professional cleanings and checkups
Proper oral hygiene practices by the patient
Monitoring for peri-implant diseases
Maintenance and long term care:
Managing complications
Prosthesis wear or damage : repair or replacement
Prosthesis loosening: assess and re-tighten
Peri-implantitis: early detection and treatment
After the __, the implants and treatment surrounding this specific result can be established. The __ is one of the first factors to determine the overall implant treatment plan
