Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium device intended to replace and rehabilitate a single or multiple or the entire set of missing teeth in the jaw bones. The dental implants have evolved to a great extent over the past many years and the extensive research and development in the implant designs and coatings have made the implants as an established and a predictable means of replacing the lost or failing natural teeth. There are various companies in India offering implants with extensive research and backing behind their implant designs and coatings, e.g. Nobel Biocare™. The dental implants design have evolved to the extent that they can be used to replace teeth extracted / lost since a long time (delayed placement) or they can be used to replace teeth immediately at the time of extraction (immediate placement ***--all teeth are not suitable for immediate replacement with implants and can be done under certain situations only) Parts of a dental implant
The dental implant broadly speaking has 2 identifiable parts: Implant body
The portion of the implant that is placed in the bone and integrates with it
Implant abutment
The portion of the implant that extends into the mouth and on the top of which the tooth crown or other attachments components may be placed. ****The implants may be available as 2 separate components (2 piece implants) or as one single component (one piece implants) and these different types of implants may be placed by the implantologist as per the demands of the clinical situation. Replacement of teeth with implants is a surgical procedure that usually requires pre-planning with x-rays and or ct scans and an overall medical evaluation prior to implant placement to ensure long term success and predictability of the implant based rehabilitation. The dental implant based rehabilitations broadly fall under the following categories:
