Implant Surgery Flashcards
Name the 2 types of implant?
Tissue level - 1 stage surgical technique
Bone level - 2 stage surgical
What type of implant is the Straumann?
Bone level - no metal collar, more aesthetic cases
What does FEV stand for and what does it mean?
Finite element analysis
transfer of load to surrounding bone tested by mathematical model analysis.
what 4 factors can affect implant design?
Implant body shape (tapered)
Implant collar shape
Threads – shape, pitch, height (triangular compacting)
Grooves
why is the quantity and quality of bone important in implant design?
as we want to avoid stress of the bone around the neck of the implant leading to bone loss
what is the (long!) name of the commercially pure titanium?
How many grades are there?
What do the grades depend on?
titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium (Ti6Al4V) (Ti alloy)
4 grades
Amount of carbon and iron.
what is the properties of titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium (Ti6Al4V) (Ti alloy)?
very high-mechanical strength
reduces the titanium heat conduction and doubles resistance to corrosion
Better fracture resistance
what is roxolid?
15%zirconium
85% titanium
Higher tensile strength than titanium
Preserves bone
Greater flexibility with smaller implants
What material of implant are used today?
and name some properties?
pure ceramic
High-performance zirconia ceramic with higher fatigue strength than grade 4 titanium implants
what is the success rates of a zirconia implant?
excellent clinical performance with 97.5 % survival and success rates after three years.
what different forces are placed on an implant?
Compressive, tensile, shear forces
how much vertical force can be placed on a molar region and incisor region?
380-880N molar
less than 220N incisor
why is the lateral shearing forces so much less? What is the approximate force?
implants don’t deal with tensile forces
approx 20N
can only cantilever 1 unit
what is the crown: implant ratio
1:7
name 2 main reasons why implants may fail?
Biological factors – overloading, bruxism, bone insufficient quantity, less vascularity.
Mechanical factors – breakage of abutments, screw breakage, implant breakage.
what are the 4 different timings for implant placement?
Immediate – take tooth out and insert into socket same time. Good bone volume.
Immediate delayed – early soft tissue healing 4-8 weeks – then place implant in, may need bone grafting.
Delayed – partial bone healing – 3-4 months – better primary stability.
Elective – full bone healing > 4 months – edentulous arches. May have had full clearance long time ago.
what are the 4 types of bone
1 - most cortical bone
2 - cortical and some rabecular
3 - more trabecular
4 - nearly fully trabecular
do types 1 and 2 bone need threading?
yes - lots of cortical bone
