Dental Implants

1.What is Implant Treatment?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. These implants are usually made of bio-compatible materials like titanium and are surgically placed in the jawbone. Subsequently, a crown (artificial tooth) or dental bridge is mounted on these implants.

2.Implant Treatments Applied at Periodonta

a. All on 4 (All on four)

Summary: The All on Four implant method offers a quick and effective solution for fully edentulous individuals using four implants. Two implants are angled in the back area and two are placed straight in the front area. Temporary teeth can be made immediately or within a few days if adequate bone compression values are obtained. This method is suitable for individuals with bone loss but adequate front area bone. It's important to eat soft foods and avoid hot meals after the operation. The advantages of All on Four include fewer implants needed, no need for advanced surgery, and quick temporary teeth placement.

b. Same-Day Implant

Summary: The Same-Day Implant method is a popular treatment option where the implant and the temporary tooth are placed on the same day. It can be applied if sufficient compression value (primary stabilization) is achieved and is generally preferred in cases of full-mouth or single tooth deficiencies. It is especially advantageous for patients coming from abroad or from out of town. The aesthetic loss is minimal and there is no need for a removable denture. However, it can't be applied in every case and there are disadvantages like the risk of infection around the implant.
