Intro to Implant Dentistry Flashcards
% US pop 18yo+ fully dentate;
30%
Functional dentition:
21+ natural teeth
% of US pop 21+ w functional dentition:
71.7%
% of US pop 50+ w functional dentition:
42.4%
State w lowest rate of edentulism:
hawaii (16%)
State with highest rate of edentulism:
Kentucky (44%)
Most commonly missing tooth type:
molars
In which arch is reer-end edentulism more common:
mandible
1 out of __ in US pop have removable prosth:
5
% of US pop missing at least 1 tooth:
70%
2 main issues with free-end edentulism:
lack of stability, poor masticatin
Edentulism is __ times more common in which arch?
35, maxilla
% of US pop edentulous in 1 arch:
7%
% of US pop totally edentulous:
10.5%
2 primary reasons for tooth loss:
caries, pdd
Benefits of implants;
bone preservation/ regeneration, functional benefits, comforting benefits, pt satisfaction and quality of ife, esthetics, preservation of the biological env
Why does bone need stimulation:
to maintain form and density
% initial bone loss w placement of implant:
25%
Implants can be splinted via:
ridges
How to preserve bone height and width most effectively:
immediate implant placement
TF? Implant fixed dentures can not preserve bone.
F. and regeneration for some
If pt has this disease you can’t do implant.
patient has severe, uncontrolled diabetes, bridge avg life is 10-15y max
Why is age such an important factor to consider when deciding whether to recommend RPD for a pt?
an RPD will wear on a tooth over time and will eventually need replacing, each time you prep more tooth structure
Could a person theoretically change Bone type in a region of the mouth by exerting more masticatory force in that area?
ask check
Better option for person w sever bone loss?
implants, a very large denture may break the jaw
Max biting force implant overdenture vs. implants:
75N to 132 N
IOD sf:
implant overdenture
TF? Implants improve digestion over complete dentures
T
Max biting force Implant Fixed Complete Denture vs. implants:
250N vs. 132N
Benefit of implant over prosth:
less pain, less instability, most pts think operation is comfortable
Esthetic benefit of implants over dentures:
teeth better positioning, enhanced facial esthetics, better color matching
Appearance due to loss of VD:
prognathic
Esthetics consequences of edentulism:
prognathic appearance, thinning of the lips (esp max), dec facial ht, dec horizontal labial angle, loss of tone in muscles o facial expression
This allows for us to create proper lip height and lip protrusion even if there is a lot of bone loss:
bar connecting the series of implants that is higher than the most coronal portion of the implant
Preservation benefits of implants:
adjacent teeth are not prepped, less likely to cause caries, higher level of perio health, better gingival appearance and health
Potential issue w placing a conventional FPD in the esthetic zone:
margins may show w recession
This must be done first to place an implant if a tooth has never erupted:
bone grafting, or possibly do both at the same time
Skinny implant diameter:
33/3.5, ideal for 24/25
Placement of #3 implant
just below sinus
Implants are made of:
alloplastic material(s)
Diameter of mini implants:
2.3 and below
mini implant placement:
through soft tissue, above or 3,4,5,mm
Tissue level implant: (check)
screw portion buried in bone, part flares out at level of mucosa, glossy and polished, stays at mucosal height, does not protrude into oral cavity
Thin layer covering the bone:
periosteum
implant that gets primary support by resting on bone:
eposteal
implant in alveolar and/or basal bone and transecting only 1 cortical plate:
endosteal
implant that penetrates both cortical plats and passes through the full thickness of the alveolar bone
transosteal/ transmandibular
most commonly used type of implant:
endosteal
Eposteal, aka:
subperiosteal
Transosteal, aka:
transmandibular
2 types of endosteal implants:
plate form (blade implants), root form (root shaped)
Implants used primarily for edentulous arch:
eposteal, transosteal
Type of implant that looks like a cork-screw in bone:
endosteal root form
Type of implant that has a long span, horizontally positioned RGO metal piece:
endosteal blade implant
Are endosteal blade implants an option for a person w severe bone loss?
yes
Location of implant on weblike full coverage maxillary RGO structure:
bw periosteum and bone, submaxillary implant
submaxillary implant:
bw periosteum and bone
To identify transosteal:
implant protrudes below the mandible
Transosteal transect both ot these part of the bone:
coronal and apical cortical plates (check)
