Implants Flashcards
What are the risk factors for implants?
Age Dental anxiety Medical disorders Psychological Smoking Local surgical condition Local pathology eg Parafunction, bone quality
What are the options for missing teeth?
Removable Fixed prosthesis resin bonded Fixed pros conventional Implant Auto transplant Stem cell
What is osseointegration?
Direct structural and functional connection between living bone and implant surface
What are the thre types of oral implants?
Trans osseous
Sub periosteal
Endosseous
What are the Endosseous implants?
Blade
Root form
Cylindrical
Mini transitional implants
What are trans osseous implants?
Plate and ion system which penetrate through the mandible and secured in place with bolts and screws
What are thr problems with trans osseous implants?
Very traumatic Only used in mandible Requires EO and IO incison Needs a GA Was mainly for dentures
No longer used
What are subperiosteal implants?
Not anchored in bone rather ride on the bone
Used in edentulous as well as partially dentate in upper and lower jaws
Where are the best results for the subperiosteal implant?
Lower edentulous
What is the problem with subperiosteal implants?
Infection can spread easily and wipe out bone
No longer used
What are Endosseous implants?
Placed surgically into bone
When are the blade implants used?
Rarely now
Used to be used where ridge was very thin or certain anatomical structures prevent conventional implants being made
When are the root Endosseous implants used?
Root form
Popular for immediate placement into xla socket
T/F root from implants are easier to accommodate between teeth?
T
Theoretically
What is the mostly widely used design of implant?
Cylindrical Endosseous implant
Following the work of branmakr
When are mini or transitional implants used?
To stabilise and retain removable prosthesis
One piece design with a simple o ring connector in denture
What are thr sucks rates for implants?
5yr vs 10yr
Trans: 95% vs 87%
Blades: 49-75% vs 50%
Subperiosteal : 95% vs 65-78%
Endosseous: 98% vs 96-98%
What are the designs of the endoessous implants?
Cylindrical Stepped Threaded and stepped Parallel threads Tapered thread
What is the diameter of the root form implants?
Mini: 4.5
What are the components of an implant?
Implant/fixture
Crown
TMA/Abutment/collar
What materials are used for implants?
Titanium
Zirconia
T/F there is contact between the implant and patient?
F
Contact due to oxide layer
