Overivew of Implantology Flashcards
Dental implant
An artificial tooth root placed in the jaw
to hold a replacement tooth or bridge
Dental implant
An implant is a 3-piece component
- Crown: extra-gingival
- Abutment: transmucosal
- Implant Body: endosseous portion
Types of Implant

Bone level vs Tissue level
Shapes and platform
Tissue Level Implants
(4)
- Connect at soft
tissue level - Smooth neck
shapes the soft
tissue - One-stage implant
surgery
Bone Level Implants
(4)
- Connect at bone
- Allows customized
and angled
abutments - Esthetic zone
- Allows two-stage
implant surgery

Straight: cylindrical
Tapered: conical
Straight: cylindrical

- Increased Surface Area
- Greater Force Transfer
- Most Common Design
Tapered: conical
(3)
- Complex osteotomy sites
- Root proximity
- Bone concavity

Platform Switching
The influence of Microgap at two-part implants
Microgap
* Inflammatory cell infiltrate was
consistently present at the level of
the interface between the two
components, the bone crest was
consistently located — mm
apical of the microgap.
* Inflammatory Infiltrate was due to —
1-1.5
bacterial contamination
Platform switching is the
concept of
placing an
narrower abutment on the
wider implant to preserve
alveolar bone levels at the
crest of a dental implant
Platform Switching
It reduces per-implant bone resorption at the —
and maintains the —
bone crest
supracrestal attachment
It reduces per-implant bone resorption at the bone crest
and maintains the supracrestal attachment
* — distance of implant-abutment junction from the crestal bone
* Limits possible interface of bone with —
* Shifts the inflammatory cell infiltrate — and away from the
adjacent crestal bone

- Oxidation
- Coating
The roughness of an implant is
measured by the
Sa value
(representing the mean height of peaks and pits of the surface)
- 4 groups of roughness value
(Sa) implants are commercially
available
- Smooth (< 0.5 μm)
- Minimally rough (0.5-1.0 μm)
- Moderately rough (1.0-2.0 μm)
- Rough (> 2.0 μm)
In general, the rougher the
implant, the higher its’
Sa value
(in um), the easier for bacterial
adhesion, the less efficacy of
biofilm treatments
Smooth vs Rough Surfaces
Microbial adhesion can occur on any implant surface,
regardless of the degree of
surface roughness
Surface Chemistry And
Surface Free Energy (SFE)
* SFE is the interaction
between the
force of
cohesion and the force
of the adhesion that
determines whether or
not wetting occurs.

Surface Free Energy (SFE)

Implant Therapy
“A successful implant must present no
(6)
mobility, no peri-implant radiolucency,
bone loss less than 0.2 mm per year
after the first year of loading, and no
persistent pain, discomfort or
infection.”
