T Flashcards
What are the three major groups of dental implants?
Sub periosteal, transosteal, endosteal.
Subperiosteal
On bone. Designed primarily to anchor dentures in the completely edentulous pt. Metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone, but underneath the gingiva.
Transosteal
Through bone. Designed to anchor dentures in the completely edentulous pt. Metal pin or u-shaped frame that passes through the jaw bone and gume tissue into the mouth. Made of titanium.
Endosteal
In bone. Placed within alveolar or basal bone. Partially or completely edentulous pts.
What is the type of implants that we use today?
Endosteal
What was the main reason previous subperiosteal implants failed?
Made of chrome-colbalt or similar alloys that were subject to corrosion (release of metallic ions into tissue). Lead to acute and chronic inflammatory responses resulting in encapsulation of the implant with fibrous connective tissue. Epithelial migration, development of extended peri-implant pockets led to exposure of the implant framework and its eventual removal.
What is another name for transosteal implants?
Staple Implants.
What were blade implants used for?
Narrow ridges. Required the support of natural teeth.
What form of transosteal implants do we use today?
Root form!
What is Osseointegration?
Direct structural and functional connection between live bone and the surface of an implant under load.
Upon placement, bone is deposited on the surface of the implant, firmly anchoring it to the surrounding bone. There is no fibrous CT interface between the implant and bone, thus no epithelial migration.
Who discovered Osseointegration?
P. I. Branemark in the 1960s.
What makes titanium unique?
Spontaneously forms a coating of titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is stable, biologically intert and promotes the deposition of a mineralized bone matrix on its surface. Easy to divide into useful shapes which maintain their strength. Strong. Resistant to corrosion. Light weight
What are some designs of the titanium implant?
Blades, cylinder, screw, mini implants.
Which osseointegrates faster? MX or MN?
MN!
How long is osseointegration for the MN?
6-8 weeks. (1.5-2 months)
How long is osseointegration of the MX?
2-6 months.
What is the quality of bone classification system based upon?
Based on its radiographic appearance and resistance at drilling.
Type 1 bone
Comparable to oak wood, which is very hard and dense. Found in anterior MN.
Type 2 bone
Comparable to pinewood. Not as hard as type 1. Found in posterior MN.
Type 3 bone
Comparable to basala wood. Less dense than type 2. Found in anterior MX.
Type 4 bone
Comparable to styrofoam. Found in posterior MX.
How is survival rates affected with varying bone density?
Not a huge difference until type 4. ~97% to ~88%
What is the implant procedure sequence?
Consultation and tx plan. Surgical placement. Final impressions. Fabrication of prosthesis. Hygiene maintenance.
When is the radiographic stent fabricated?
During the consultation and dental evaluation.
When are preliminary impressions taken?
During the consultation and dental evaluation.
When do you do the diagnostic wax up?
Following the dental consultation and evaluation.
What is the radiographic and surgical template?
A guide used to assist on treatment planning and proper surgical placement and angulation of dental implants.
What do most implant complications arise from?
Too buccal of a position.
How is the development of peri-implantitis similar to periodontitis?
Implant provides a surface for attachment and microbial colonization.
Does a hx of periodontitis increase the long-term risk of peri-implantitis?
Yes!
What is peri-implant mucositis?
Presence of imflammation in the mucosa of an implant with no signs of loss of supporting bone.
What is the prevalence of peri-implantitis mucositis?
80% of patients!
What is peri-implantitis?
Inflammation in the mucosa in addition to loss of supporting bone.
What is the prevalence of peri-implantitis?
28-56% of patients.
What makes a pt. high risk for peri-implantitis?
Lack of SPT (Supportive Periodontal Therapy), systemic conditions and environmental factors.
What preventative measures can you take before implant placement?
Treat periodontal disease before hand. Shorter recalls and proper treatment planning.
What are preventative measures you can take after placement?
Prevent or minimize recurrence and progression of disease. Prevent or reduce the incidence of tooth loss. Increase the probability and treating in a timely manner, other conditions in the mouth. Update hx. intra and extraoral assesment, check mucosa around implant, occlusion and integrity of restoration. Radiographs as needed.
Should you probe a healthy implant?
Yes! But, steel probes can abrade the implant surface. You should probe approximately 2-3 times a year.
How often should you take radiographs?
Initial placement, at 3-4 months to verify osseointegration, at time of restoration and as needed based on signs and symptoms of peri-implantitis.
What should be the frequency of maintenance?
Most studies recommend 3 months, based on recolonization and maintaining the stability of the clinical parameters. Maintenance should be tailored to risk assessment.
What are the features of periimplant mucositis?
Signs of gingival inflammation, deeper probing depths, NO radiographic evidence of bone loss.
What are the clinical implications of periimplant mucositis?
It is the obvious precursor of peri-implantitis. (thing gingivitis and periodontitis). Treat for prevention!
What are the clinical features of peri-implantitis?
Bleeding, deeper probing depths, suppuration, bone loss, mobility.
What is the CIST protocol?
Cumulative, Interceptive, Supportive, Therapy.
How do we treat peri implantitis?
Mechanical debridement, antiseptics, abx, surgical procedures, explanation.
Is it beneficial to use antiseptics?
According to a 2012 study, no. But, the studies were underpowered and there may be some utility.
Do abx work to treat peri-implantitis? What is the abx of choice?
Significan reduction with systemic abx. Amoxicillin and metronidazole.
Autograft
A graft transferred from a donor site to a recipient site within the same individual.(illiac crest)
Allograft
A graft from a donor species that is the same as the recipient species (cadaver)
Xenograft
A graft originally harvested from a donor species which is different than the recipient species. (cow or horse)
