Dental Implant and its application;
In short, an implant is an artificial tooth root made of suitable material and placed in the jawbone in order to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.
Today, it is understood that the implant is the form of dental treatment that will be studied the most in the 21st century. When applied with correct diagnosis, sufficient knowledge, experience and equipment, dental implants are a form of treatment that can provide successful results for the patient and the physician. After it came into serial use, different types of implants were produced. However, the most popular implant type today is the 'screw' shaped ones.
Implant Application criteria;
Implant screws are structures with a certain thickness and width. For this reason, the jaw bone in the area where the implant is planned to be placed must have a height and width that will accept this implant screw. The quality of existing bone is also one of the factors affecting implant success. In addition, the gums must be completely healthy before the treatment and as long as the implant remains in the mouth. As long as the patient's general health condition is good, there is no upper age limit that would prevent implant application, but it may not be preferred to apply it to very young patients whose bone development is incomplete.
If there is a suitable amount of bone for implant placement, whether a single tooth or multiple teeth are missing, An implant can be used for any event.
Is there pain during and after the operation?
If appropriate anesthesia methods are applied, the patient will not feel pain during the operation. During the operation, general or postoperative surgery is performed according to the patient's preference. Local anesthesia can also be used. The pain that can usually be felt the evening the implant is placed can be relieved with simple painkillers. Many patients state that this pain is no different from the pain felt after normal tooth extraction. In cases where the treatment is completed without any problems, the patient is so comfortable that he or she does not even feel the presence of the implants.
CLEANING OF THE IMPLANTS IN THE MOUTH!
Considering that there are foreign objects inside, it should be accepted that cleaning them is at least as important as, or even more important than, your own teeth. Cleaning of implants requires a certain learning process. Although it requires pain, it is not difficult. However, you need to allocate enough time for this job. What you should not forget is that the most important factor for the success of this type of treatment is regular oral care.
Hoping to see you in healthy smiles….
