DENTAL IMPLANTS
DENTAL IMPLANTS IN KOLKATA
Dr. Gupta provides most effective dental implants in Kolkata.
Dental implantology is the field of dentistry that is concerned with the replacement of missing teeth and their supporting structures with artificial prostheses anchored to the jawbone.
The phenomenon of osseointegration of titanium implants was discovered by a Swedish orthopaedic surgeon, P I Brånemark, in 1952 who described it as osseo-integration between living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant.
During the last two decades, many modifications have been developed to improve the long-term success of implants. Today there are more than 1300 types of dental implants are available, in many different materials, shapes, sizes, lengths and with different surface characteristics or coatings.
Indications For Implant Treatment:
Restore dental aesthetics.
Restore lost dental function: – Chewing – Speech .Space maintenance and occlusal stability.
Convenience and comfort Bone preservation and prevention of disuse atrophy after tooth loss.
DENTAL IMPLANTS TREATMENT OPTION
Single tooth replacement
Dental implants provide several advantages over the replacement of a single tooth by looking and functioning like a natural tooth. The dental implant can replace a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. In this treatment your single tooth will get implanted in a way that your tooth root will be stronger because the bone is better preserved along with an integrated jawbone.
Implant Supported Bridge
An implant supported bridge is very much similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is mainly supported by implants and not by natural teeth. In most of the cases an implant supported bridge is used when one implant is successfully placed in the jawbone for each missing tooth. The dental supported bridges will give you a good looking and secured smile. This bridge is fixed in your mouth in such a way that you don’t need to remove, clean and re-insert them. Your dentist will give you instructions on oral hygiene care once the procedure is finished.
Full arch implants
The full mouth dental implant is a full mouth restoration process through implant process that replace all of the teeth on either the upper jaw, the lower jaw ,or both. In this very process the facial aesthetics will get restored along with the ability of biting and chewing. The full arch implants prevents the bone loss and gum recession.
Implant over dentures
The implant overdenture provides support and retention to a patient who has denture. This implant fits perfectly over the top of implants. The patient who has implant overdentures have increased biting force compared with patients who wear conventional complete denture. This implant overdenture helps people to improve their chewing ability. So therefore patient can eat a broader array of food choices which has a positive impact on nutrition.
Sinus lift procedure
Sinus lift procedure is basically a surgical procedure that aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla(upper jaw bone), in the area of the premolar and the molar teeth by lifting the lower Sinus membrane. The sinus lift procedure add to bone mass along with raising up the sinus cavity by providing enough space between the implant and the cavity itself. This procedure is usually done if you are planning on having implants placed.
Tilted implants
Tilted implants are parallel to the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus or the metal foramen/inferior alveolar nerve has been proposed as a conservative solution for the treatment of the atrophic edentulous maxilla. Tilted implants increase the contact (osseointegration) surface by improving the primary stability by anchoring in more than one cortical layer.
IMPLANTS ARE OF SEVERAL TYPES BASED APPLICATION
| Time since extraction | Surgical description | Clinical properties |
|---|---|---|
| Zero | Immediate placement | No post-extraction heading of bone or soft tissue |
| 4 to 8 weeks | Early(or delayed immdiate placement) | Significant soft tissue heading, but little new bone |
| 12 to 16 weeks | Delayed placement | Significant soft tissue heading ,and significant bone heading |
| 6 months or over | Late placement | Fully Healed site |
Types of Dental Implants
According to American Dental Association two types of dental implants are safe such as Endosteal Implant and Subperiosteal Implants
Endosteal Implant
This type of dental implants is implanted directly in to the jawbone. A second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant once the surrounding gum tissue has healed. After this an artificial tooth will get attached to the post individually or grouped on a bridge or denture. For this implant procedure the artificial teeth get mounted on the post
Subperiosteal Implants
In this dental implant procedure metal frame is fitted on to the jawbone just below the gum tissue. After the gum gets healed the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts that are attached to the frame protrude through the gums.
Basal bone Cortical Implant
In this implant procedure basal cortical portion of the jaws is employed for implant retention. This type of implants is specifically and uniquely designed to gain anchorage from the basal cortical bone. Many dental clinics around Kolkata are offering this advanced dental procedure at a very cost effective range.
