Surgical aspects of implantology Flashcards
Describe the early tissue response in an implant wound
Initial wound
Following days - Blood clot, granulation tissue, vascular invasion
1w - osteoclast invasion
2w - early woven bone
4w - 1st phase of true integration
4m - fully matured and remodelling
What are the different type of surface alterations available on implants?
Grit blasting
Blasting and etching
Etched
Hydroxyapatite coated
Oxidised surfaces
Titanium plasma sprayed surface
Straumanns - wet vial
What is the purpose of alterations?
Provide better stability in bone
Greater contact area for integration
Surface that retains better blood clots
Stimulation of bone healing process
Implants thread in an compress bone - delays osseointegration
What is an isotropic implant?
Surface structure without a dominating direction
What is an anisotropic implant?
Other processes such as turning or milling produces a surface that has a distinct regular pattern
Which primary views are needed for implants?
IOPA
Panoramic (25% mag)
What are the secondary views needed?
CT scans
Allow segmental measuring of jaw
Identifies structures such as nerves
What are the different qualities of bone?
Type I - thick and avascular, almost entire bone comprises homogenous cortical bone
Type II - Thick layer of cortical bone surrounding a core of dense trabecular bone
Type III - Thin layer of cortical bone surrounds a core of dense trabecular bone of favourable strength
Type IV - Thin layer of cortical bone surrounding a core of low density trabecular bone
Qualities of bone
A - most of alveolar ridge is present
B - Moderate residual ridge resorption has occured
C - Advanced residual ridge resorption has occurred and only basal bone remains
D - Minimal to moderate resorption of basal bone has occurred
E - Extreme resorption of the basal bone has occured
How much bone should an implant ideally be surrounded by?
1mm circumferentially and 2mm above ID nerve
Sinus at max of 4mm
What is the concept of guided tissue regeneration?
Placement of barrier membrane
Creation of a secluded space beneath membrane
Space can only be invaded by bone cells
Creation of new bone
PTFE/Gortex/Collagen
Dropped or pinned
Which type of bone graft lasts longest?
Chin, wisdom tooth area lasts longer than hip bone graft
What are the 3 types of sinus lift?
- Insufficient bone/pneumatisation
- Internal sinus lift
- Lateral sinus lift
What is an autogenous graft?
Graft harvested from somewhere else in the patient
What is an allograft?
A graft harvested from another patient
- mineralised and irradiated, sterilised and freeze dried
- synthetic bone substitutes
