Implants Flashcards
A prosthetic device or alloplastic material implanted into the oral tissues beneath the mucosal and/or periosteal layer, and/or within the bone to provide retention and support for a fixed or removable prosthesis
Dental implant
What are the 3 types of implants?
Periosteal, transosteal, and endosteal
A _____ implant is on or around the bone
Periosteal
A ____ implant goes through the bone
Transosteal
A _____ implant is in the bone
Endosteal
What type of imaging technique allows exact implant placement?
CT scan or cone beam image
A _____ implant goes on top of the bone; resorbs the bone
Subperiosteal implant
Which arch should a subperiosteal implant not be place on?
Maxilla
Materials–Surgical stainless steel (316L)–Titanium–Gold alloy–Metals with ceramic coatings•
Indication –mandible with alveolar ridge height < 10mm
Transosteal implant
Direct structural and functional contact between ordered, living bone and the surface of a load carrying implant; provides predictability
Osseointegration
Upon placement, ____ is deposited on the surface of the implant firmly anchoring it in the surrounding bone.
bone
There is no ______ interface between the surface of the implant and the adjacent bone; As a result epithelial migration along this interface is prevented
fibrous connective tissue
Who discovered osseointegration?
P.I. Branemark
In these experiments Branemark used an optical chamber made of _____. When he attempted to remove the chamber from its bone site he noticed that the bone adhered to the chamber with great tenacity.
titanium
most metals are not suitable as biomaterials because corrosion of these metals result in continuous release of _______ into adjacent tissues.
metal ions
The presence of these ions cause acute and chronic ______ responses which eventually result in fibrous encapsulation of the offending material.
inflammatory responses
Titanium however is resistant to _____ and spontaneously forms a coating of titanium dioxide, which is stable, biologically inert and promotes the deposition of a mineralized bone matrix on its surface. In addition, it is strong, and easily machined into useful shapes.
corrosion
is stable, biologically inert and promotes the deposition of a mineralized bone matrix on its surface; In addition, it is strong, and easily machined into useful shapes.
titanium dioxide
_____ is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels.
Angiogenesis
