Implant Symposium - Placement Flashcards
What is osseointegration
- direct functional and structural connection between a load bearing dental implant and living organized bone
What are the 2 stages of osseointegration
primary
secondary
What is primary osseointegration
- implant is anchored in bone due to frictional forces provided between osteotomy and dental implant design features
What is secondary osseointegration
- porcess of a functional connection between bone and implant
- living bone grows onto surface of a dental implant
- produces an integrated surface
How does the tooth’s supracrestal soft tissues differ from an implants
Tooth
* more fibroblasts
* less collagen
* collagen fibres orientated perpendicular to root surface
Implant
* more collagen
* less fibroblasts
* collagen fibres orientated parallel to implant crown
How does the tooth’s subcrestal tissues differ from an implant
Tooth
* tooth anchored to bone by periodontal ligament complex (bone/PDL/cementum)
* capable of physiologic adaptation
* ‘resilient’ tissue attachment
Implant
* implant anchored to bone by direct functional contact
* no physiologic adaptation
* rigid connection
What are the materials that can be used for a dental implant
- titanium
- titanium-zirconia
- ceramic implant
What makes Ti-Zr implants better than Ti implants
increased strength
What is the ceramic implant made out of
yittra stabilised zirconia
What is the advantage of a ceramic implant
non-metallic covered
dont get shine through
What are different features you may notice in implant design
- polished collar/no polished collar
- tissue level/bone level
- parallel/tapered
- width
- length
different designs have no significant effect on implant survival or success
When may we want to use a bone level implant
- aesthetic zone
- provides more space to modify the profile
When may we want to use a tissue level implant
- posteriorly
When may we use tapered
- can provide increased primary stability in immediate placement (straight into socket - sockets are usually tapered)
- tapered may also be preferred where there is root convergence apically
What is the different widths you can get for implants
3mm-4.5mm
Why may we select different lengths and diameters of implants
- site
- indication
- local anatomy
What are the different implant surfaces we can get
can be machined/turned
roughness can be modified (smooth-rough)
surface tx can be done
What are the different surface treatments we can do to roughen the implant surface
- sand blasting
- acid etching
- plasma spray
What is the benefit of a roughened surface
- allows reparative osteocytes to grow into the implant to provide good connection
What are the primary aims of dental implant tx
- replace missing teeth with aesthetic, functional and predictable restoration
- low rate of omcplications during healing and maintenance
- long term stability
What can we use to assess a px’s medical suitability for impants
ASA classification
haematological
What are the medications that may effect implant success
- SSRIs
- PPIs
- bisphosphonates
- steroids
What medical conditions may effect implant success
- previous radiotherapy
- poorly controlled diabetes
How does smoking effect implant success
increased risk of implant failure in patients who smoke
increased risk of perimplantitis in px who smoke
dose dependant relationship
What is the dose dependant relationship based on for smoking
<10 per dy medium risk
>10 per day high risk
What does smoking efefct at a cellular level
- vascularity
- fibroblast/osteoblast function
- PMN function
