Implant refers to inanimate substances placed within the body and living tissues.
(Dental) implants (dental implants) are used to restore the function and aesthetics of one or more missing teeth
They are generally titanium-based screw or root-shaped structures that are placed in the slot opened in the jaw bones for dental implants.
The union between the dental implant and living bone tissue is called osseointegration.
Nowadays, The origin of the tendency to produce implants based on titanium material dates back 30 years
.
For approximately 30 years, titanium metal has been used in dental implantology, which is particularly relevant to the general body and our subject.
Its use has come to the fore and almost all of the dental implants manufactured today are titanium-based.
In recent years, artificial tooth prosthesis implant screw parts produced with zircon/zirconium metal.
Experimental studies on its use have passed the patient application stage
but sufficient studies have not yet been conducted on the medium and long-term success of implants made of zirconium
.
The effect of titanium on the body In addition to its physical reasons such as being light and durable, it also has medical preference reasons.
Our body, by nature, It tends to try to keep foreign substances away
from itself.
This is a phenomenon carried out by the "immune system", which is the "defense system" of our body
.
When we are sick, the microorganisms that cause the disease itself, that is, microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, spread throughout our body in our blood and even
when necessary, they also come out of the vessels and reach the non-vascular areas within the tissues.
These cells, collectively called "white blood cells", which circulate around and try to reveal their duties.
They are eliminated by our blood-derived cells, which are part of our immune-defense system.
In addition, white blood cells are the centers of production of other body defense weapons called "antibodies" that are effective in the blood serum and try to destroy any substance foreign to the body
p>Here is a brief summary While these body defenses serve to protect the body from microbes
, they can sometimes cause undesirable side effects.
Titanium does not cause any bad reactions with body tissues in the short-medium and long term
It is one of the rare substances that does not give any effect.
In other words, "inert", which is used in medical jargon, is "ineffective" against body tissues
Its lightness and durability make it the favorite material of medical implantology
It is as important as its features!
In the medium and long term, titanium metal, far from being ineffective, has a positive effect in the direction we
desire, and the titanium dental implant
Following its application, we expect the wound to heal within a period of 3-6 months
It integrates with the bone and fuses with the jawbone!
Within dentistry terminology and general medical terms. This situation, referred to as "osseointegration"
bone-integration, ensures that the implant treatment is successful and that the screw dental implant part, which will serve as the basis for a tooth in the mouth for many years
p>It ensures that it fulfills its duty reliably.
In addition to having so many positive aspects of titanium, the only negative aspect for us
is the price of titanium material.
An important responsible for the relatively high prices of dental implants, and generally for the excess costs in the production of artificial body organs
prosthesis, is that titanium
is considered a precious metal in the world markets.
Unfortunately, the use of titanium in the production of dental implant screws, especially in the production of medical implants and dental prosthetic teeth, has a negative impact on the overall cost of dental implantation.
