74
in 2007, what % of paraesthesia relating to dental work was associated with implants
30
what can an implant be made of
- metal
- ceramic
what are the indications for implants
- replace single tooth
- replace multiple teeth - bridge
- full arch - denture
what are the advantages of implants
- function
- aesthetics
- quality of life improvement
why do implants improve function
gives a stable platform where restoration can rest
who do implants improve quality of life most for
edentulous pts
why does a pt need to be very motivated and compliant to have implants
lifetime of peri-implant care
what must a pt have (dentally) before being considered for dental implants
stable dentition - no caries or perio
how long must a pt be a non-smoker for to be considered for implants
3 months
why cant the pt take any form of nicotine before having implants placed
because of the affect on vasculature
how much more likely are implants to fail if the pt is a smoker
140%
why can the pt NOT have any bruxism or parafunctional habits if they want implants
any forces NOT directed down the long axis of the implant are detrimental to its health
how old must a girl be to have implants
at least 18
how old must a boy be to have implants
21
what is there potential for if a pt having implants placed has poorly controlled diabetes
poor wound healing/ poor outcome
what is the highest a pts HbA1c levels can be before not being eligible for implants
> 8
which medication is an absolute contraindication to implants
IV bisphosphonates
what must a pt taking a short course of oral bisphosphonates be warned of
less risk than IV but still risk of MRONJ/ failure of implant
why might psychiatric/ mental health issues be a contraindication to dental implants
may not be compliant with attendance for Tx and after care
what % of implants fail in smokers
10%
what should be done, from a legal standpoint, before placing dental implants in a smoker pt
have them sign disclaimer
what 7 types of pt can have implants on the NHS
- congenital missing/malformed teeth
- trauma
- surgical interventions
- congenital defects
- edentulous with repeated denture failure
- severe oral mucosa disorders
- no suitable anchorage in ortho
name 4 conditions that cause missing/ malformed teeth making a pt eligible for dental implants
- aggressive periodontitis
- hypodontia
- clefts
- amelogenesis imperfecta/ DI
what form of periodontitis would make a pt eligible for implants
immune based form of the disease
what type of trauma would more often make a pt eligible for dental implants
significant loss of dentoalveolar structure - not usually single teeth
give an example of a surgical intervention that would make a pt eligible for dental implants
head and neck cancer, cysts
what might make repeated full denture efforts fail resulting in the pt being eligible for dental implants
- atrophic mandible
- gag reflex
which implant system is used in tayside
straumann
name 4 implant systems
- straumann
- hoissen
- nobel biocare
- dentsply serona
what compatibility must an implant have
- biological
- biomechanical
- morphological
what is meant by biomechanical implant compatibility
physiological forces of mastication and speech
what is meant by morphological implant compatibility
dimensions that are easily applied to the oral cavity
why cant dental implants be magnitised?
need to be MRI safe and have image compatibility
what is osseointegration
direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of load-carrying implant
what happens if the implant transmits excessive forces
osteoclastic bone resorption
what is the max load an implant cannot exceed
physiological norm
why should loading forces be directed axially in dental implants
the bone resists this the best
name 3 host factors that would affect osseointegration
- bone density
- bone volume and bone to implant surface area
- parafunctional habits
why does bone density matter in implants
withstanding stresses
why is a big implant surface area beneficial
the bigger the surface area the better it can withstand loading forces
why are parafunctional habits important when it comes to implants
can overload the implant with force
name 4 implant factors that affect osseointegration
- implant macro design
- chemical composition and biocompatibility
- surface Tx and coatings
- restorative crown
how can the restorative crown of an implant affect osseointegration
cantilever can cause torsional force
what is produced on the surface of the implant during osseointegration
titanium oxide
what physiological feature does an implant lack
PDL
why is it beneficial for the implant metal to be hydrophilic
integrates better
what 3 factors of the implant can be changed to improve osseointegration
- surface chemical composition
- hydrophilicity
- roughness of the implant
how can the surface of an implant be made more rough
- titanium plasma spraying
- grit blasting
- acid etching
- calcium phosphate spraying
what is the advantages of implant surface modification
- greater amount of bone-implant contact
- more rapid integration
- higher removal of torque values
what are 2 metals commonly used in dental implants
- titanium
- zirconium
why are titanium and zirconium commonly used in dental implants
only two metals that don’t inhibit that growth of osteoblasts
what is the name of a bone graft from the pt
antogenous bone
what is the name of a bone graft from another animal
xenograft material
what is the advantage of autogenous bone graft
heals faster
why does an autogenous bone graft heal faster than a xenograft material
already has the osteoblasts rather than having to recruit them
where would a xenograft material recruit osteoblasts from
the pts blood supply
how many grades of titanium are available for dental implants
4
how do the different grades of implant titanium differ
different amounts of carbon and iron
why is the level of titanium in dental implant alloys 50%?
reduces heat conduction and doubles resistance to corrosion
what are the 10 year survival statistics for dental implants
96-99% success
name 3 pt factors that you need to have before placing implants
- good OH
- good compliance
- well motivated pt
what is the pt at risk of if they dont take time to take care of their implants
- periimplantitis/ mucositis and then loss of implant
what is an implant pt at risk of if theyve had cancer of the head and neck
osteoradionecrosis
what dose of radiation can the are of the jaw before an implant pt is at increased risk of osteoradionecrosis
up to 50 greys
name 4 site related factors taken into account when placing implants
- perio status
- access for placement
- pathology near implant
- pervious surgery at site
what might affect access to place an implant
- TMD
- limited opening
- placing posterior implants
what pathology near an implant would be considrered before placing an implant
- perio
- cysts
- gingival pathology
- bone loss
why is bone loss important in placing implants
need adequate bone/soft tissue to heal implant
why might previous surgeries at the site of implant affect its placement
scarring at the site makes the mucosa very tough to advance
why is the mucosa being scarred/tough at the site of implant important
may not be able to advance/ achieve primary closure
what is an immediate implant?
implant placed immediately after XLA
what is a delayed immediate implant
implant placed 6-8 weeks after XLA
what is a delayed dental implant
implant placed anytime after 12 weeks after XLA
what does the number of implants increase
complexity of procedure
how is bone assessed before placing an implant
horizontally and vertically
what width of bone is needed to place an implant
7mm
what height of bone is needed to place an implant
8-10mm ideally
what type of mucosa is best for placing implants
thick biotype - keratinised
why is a thick biotype best for placing implants
can withstand the forces of cleaning and mastication
what is a thin biotype
lacking keratin
which vital structures do you have to be very careful placing an implant near to
- IAN
- max sinus
- mental foramen
- incisive foramen
