Overview of Implantology Flashcards
what is a dental implant
an artificial tooth root placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge
what are the 3 pieces that make up the dental implant
- crown: extra gingival
- abutment: transmucosal
- implant body: endosseous portion
what are the types of implants
- bone level vs tissue level
- shapes and platform
describe bone level implants
- connects at bone
- allows customized and angled abutments
- esthetic zone
- allows two stage implant surgery
describe tissue level implants
- connect at soft tissue level
- smooth neck shapes the soft tissue
- one stage implant surgery
describe the straight cylindrical implant
- increased surface area
- greater force transfer
- most common design
describe the tapered conical implant
- complex osteotomy sites
- root proximity
- bone concavity
what are the types of platform implants
- narrow - standard - wide platform
what is the influence of microgap at two part implants
- inflammatory cell infiltrate was consistently present at the level of the interface between the two components, the bone crest was consistently located 1-1.5mm apical to the microgap
- inflammatory infiltrate was due to bacterial contamination
what is platform swithcing
the concept of placing a narrower abutment on the wider implant to preserve alveolar bone levels at the crest of a dental implant
platform swithcing reduces:
per-implant bone resorption at the bone crest and maintains the supracrestal attachment
what does platform switching do - 3 things
- increases distance of implant- abutment junction from the crestal bone
- limits micro movements at the bone implant interface
- shifts the inflammatory cell infiltrate tinward and away from the adjacent crestal bone
what do surface properties do
enhance cell adhesion to get better oseointegration
what are the surface characteristics
- roughness ( macro and micro): texture and machined
- subtractive: sandblast and acid- etch
- additive: oxidation and coating
the roughness of an implant is measured by the:
Sa value -representing the mean height of peaks and pits of the surface
what are the 4 groups of roughness value
- smooth: less than 0.5 micrometers
- minimally rough: 0.5-1.0 micrometers
- moderately rough: 2-3 micrometers
- rough: greater than 2 micrometers
the rougher the implant, the ____ its Sa value
higher
the higher the Sa value, the _____ for bacterial adhesion
easier
the higher the Sa value, the traditional methods of removing biofilm become ___ effective
less
where can microbial adhesion occur
on any implant surface regardless of the degree of surface roughness
what is SFE
the interaction between the force of cohesion and the force of adhesion that determines whether or not wetting occurs
how is SFE obtained
- sessile drop technique
- different material, implant design with characteristics contribute to the SFE and cell/bacterial adhesion
a successful implant must present:
no mobility. no peri implant radiolucency, bone loss less than 0.2mm per year after the first year of loading, and no persistent pain, discomfort or infection
what are the landmarks to consider during implant placement
- inferior alveolar canal/mental foramen
- incisive foramen
- maxillary sinus/nasal cavity
- lingual undercut
what are the safety zones of the inferior alveolar canal and mental foramen
- IAN: 2mm away
- 3mm away from mental foramen
what are the ways to detect IAN/mental foramen and what is the accuracy of each
- PA films: 75-46.8% accurate
- pano: 94-49% accurate
- CT scans: most accurate way to detect
when do you do direct sinus lifting vs indirect sinus lifting
- direct: less than 4mm residual bone height
- indirect: more than 4mm residual bone height
what are the sinus lift techniques
- direct/lateral window technique
- indirect/osteome technique/crestal approach/transalveolar approach
perforating the lingual plate during preparation of the implant site can result in:
extensive and life threatening bleeding
what are the bone requirements
osseointegration
what is osseointegration
a direct functional and structural connection between living bone and the implant surface
what is critical to successful osseointegration
the stability of the bone at the time of implant placement
what is the quantity and quality of bone referring to
- quantity: related to the degree of bone loss or bone resorption present
- quality: related to the degree of bone density present
describe type 1 bone
- hard and dense like oak wood- D1
- less blood supply than other types- compact bone
- takes longer for an implant to integrate
- found in the mandible
describe type 2 bone
- consistency of pine wood - D2
- thick layer of compact bone surrounds a core of dense, trabecular bone
describe type 3 bone
- consistency of balsa wood - D3
- thin layer of corticla bone surrounds a core of dense trabecular bone
describe type 4 bone
- consistency of styrofoam - D4
- thin layer of cortical bone surrounds a core of low- density trabecular bone
- commonly found in posterior maxilla
what are the concept of placement
- prosthetically driven implant placement
- hard tissue management
- soft tissue management
need _____ between teeth and implant
1.5mm
need at least ___ between 2 adjacent implants
3mm
