Restoration of Implants Flashcards
What is meant by prosthetically driven planning?
Top down approach
- Begin with end in mind
- Put implant in position where restoration would not be compromised
What are the phases of the implant journey?
Implant planning
Placement
Healing- pink firm and healthy
Impressions
Abutment selection
Provisionalisation- how long?
Loading
Definitive restorations- once maturation has occurred
What are the types of implant retained prostheses?
Removable prosthesis (like dentures)
-> Stud, bar, magnet retained
Fixed prosthesis -single or multi unit or full arch
-> Screw retained, cement retained
How does the denture retained by implant bar work?
3 implants splinted together
-> Denture clips on top
How do ball retained prostheses work with implants?
Implants placed with ball on top, clips onto female part on denture
How does the LOCATOR system work?
- Silicone inserts on implant instead of denture clip over implants
- Grip strength varies depending on colour
What can be done to make zirconia bridge frameworks looks aesthetic?
Cover with porcelain
What is used for a provisional in implants, what are the purposes of provisionals in his case?
Lab make temporary abutment and crown (peak material)
Allows maturation, shaping and healing- healthier proportions
-> Helps prevent shine through
What are the 2 techniques when taking impressions for definitive restoration with an implant?
Open tray- hole present to allow impression coping to go through (screwed into implant)
Closed tray- no need for hole in tray as coping gets stuck in impression material
What are the steps in the open tray technique?
- Has coping- threaded post which screws into implant (can be done by hand/screw driver)
- Impression tray is filled with rigid accurate elastomeric material like impregum is used
- Only way coping can be removed is by unscrewing
- Impression sets- unscrew coping and remove impression tray/material
- Screw implant analogue onto impression coping- on pouring there is a direct transfer from where implant is in mouth onto cast
When is open tray technique preferred?
Good if space for fingers and screw drivers
-> anterior region
What are the benefits of open tray technique?
Color-coded components corresponds to prosthetic
connection
High precision impression
Clear-cut tactile response for accurate positioning
Guide screw can be tightened by hand or with the SCS screwdriver
Safer as screw retained
What are the steps in the closed tray technique?
- Use different impression coping (T shaped), pressed down onto implant, material flows around, it gets stuck and is removed with impression material
- 2 pieces- one part goes onto implant head, second part (red) pushed on top to secure
- Parts click into place- will not be removed by accident
- Impregum (polyether) used
- When in lab- they will attach implant analogue
- Put soft silicone mask to allow movement of gingivae
- Pour as standard for any crown/bridge impression
What are the benefits of closed tray technique?
Color-coded components corresponds to prosthetic
connection
No additional preparation of tray
High precision impression
Clear-cut tactile response for accurate positioning
Preferred if less space- posteriorly
Cheaper
What are abutments used for?
Cn be used to correct angle implant is coming out at if not perfectly straight
