A

a prosthetic device of alloplastic material implanted into the oral tissues beneath the mucosa and/or periosteal alter and/or within the bone to provide retention and support for a fixed or removable prosthesis

Q

What are the advantages of surface modification?

A

Greater amounts of bone-to-implant contact more rapid integration with bone tissue higher removal torque values

17
Q

What are the 2 metals used in implantology and why are these used?

A

Titanium and zirconium
They do not inhibit the growth of osteoblasts

18
Q

what anatomical features would be taken into consideration when planning implants?

A

bone - volume horizontally/veritcally
soft tissue - keratinized mucosa, soft tissue quality/thickness/biotype
site - proximity to vital anatomical structures
adjacent teeth - papillae, recession, interproximal attatchment
aesthetic risk assessment - facial support, labial support, upper lip length, buccal corridor, smile line

19
Q

what is the issue with keratinised mucosa and implants?

A

absence of adequate amount of keratinised mucosa is associated with higher plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation

20
Q

how is bone quality classified?

A

class i - anterior part of mandible mainly cortical bone, very dense - good primary stability
class ii - more trabecular bone - still good primary stability
class iii - even more trabecular bone
class iv - nearly exclusively trabecular bone

21
Q

what happens if there is instability when implant fitted?

A

causes fibrous encapsulation = failure

22
Q

what imaging would be taken before implants?

A

photographs
- document resting lip line and smiling lip line
- position of midlines
- occlusion
radiographs:
- PA
- DPT
- CBCT

23
Q

what can you use clinically to locate the mental foramen?

A

nabers probe

24
Q

what is the minimal distance the implant should be placed from adjacent tooth?

A

1.5mm

25
Q

what is the minimal distance the implant should be placed from adjacent implants?

A

3mm

26
Q

what can be done to change bone levels for implants?

A

recontouring - knife-edge ridges, mandibular tori, undercutes
onlay grafts, inter-positional grafts, PRF sticky bone
sinus lift techniques

27
Q

what is finite element analysis? (FEV)

A

transfer of load to surrounding bone tested by a mathematical model analysis, to avoid stress of the bone around the neck of the implant leading to bone loss

28
Q

what is FEV affected by?

A

implant body shape (tapered)
implant collar shape
threads - shape, pitch, height
grooves

29
Q

what is the main Ti alloy used for implants?

A

titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium (Ti6Al4V)

30
Q

What does the addition of aluminium and valadium do to titanium?

A

lowers heat conduction by 50%
doubles resistance to corrosion
better fracture resistance

31
Q

what is roxolid?

A

15% zirconium
85% titanium

32
Q

what are the good properties of roxolid?

A

higher tensile strength than titanium
preserves bone
greater flexibility with smaller implants

33
Q

what are the positives of pure ceramic implants?

A

high-performance zirconia ceramic (Y-TZP) has higher fatigue strength than grade 4 Ti implants
97.5% survival and success rates after 3 years

34
Q

what are the vertical forces on implants?

A

380-880N molars
<220N incisors

35
Q

what is the crown to implant ratio?

A

1.7

36
Q

what are the lateral/shearing forces on implants?

A

20N

37
Q

what are the timings for implant surgery?

A

immediate
immediate delayed - early soft tissue healing (4-8 weeks)
delayed - partial bone healing (3-4 months)
elective - full bone healing >4months

38
Q

how long after placement will restorative team commence tx with tissue level implants?

A

2-3 months

39
Q

how long after placement will restorative team commence tx with bone level implants?

A

2 months after implant is exposed and a taller healing abutment placed

40
Q

name 5 complications of implants

A

wound breakdown
infection
early loss
mucositis
peri-implantitis
