Information Regarding Dental Implants

What are dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or even a full denture. Dental Implants are made of pure titanium, a material that is totally bio compatible (compatible with body tissues) and actually integrates with the surrounding bone and becomes part of the body. Dental implants are an effective, safe and predictable solution ...

Developed by Misch. On 5th October, 2007, a Pisa, Italy Consensus Conference (sponsored by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists) modified the James–Misch Health Scale and approved 4 clinical category that contain conditions of implant success, survival, and failure.

A precise, consistent terminology is fundamental to our ability to communicate. This must be a routine terminology, unambiguous and descriptive. Such proper terminology makes it possible to introduce a touch of philosophy in every aspect of a discussion.

The basic surgical principles related to the placement of dental implants in partially

edentulous patients. Surgeons must take important measures preoperatively to prevent postsurgical infection, handle surgical instruments expertly to preserve soft tissues, and carefully accomplish adequate implant site preparation without overheating the bone. Precise surgical protocol includes the following precautions:

• Preoperative mouthwash with 0.1% chlorhexidine

• Perior...

The inferior alveolar nerve is midway between the buccal and lingual cortical plates in the first molar region. In about 1% of patients, however, the mandibular canal bifurcates in the inferior superior or medial lateral planes. Thus, a bifurcated mandibular canal will manifest more than one mental foramen. This may or may not be seen on panoramic or periapical films. Therefore it is suggested that clinicians should consider obtaining a preoperative CBCT to avoid n...
