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
