The implant, known as ingestion, is the placement of an artificial root in the jaw to replace the missing tooth and complete the missing parts in the mouth.
This type of treatment is implemented by placing a material made of titanium, which makes it easier for tissues and the human body to accept and conform to areas where tooth loss occurs. The area to be implanted is numbed with local anesthesia and the implant is placed within 5-10 minutes. Then it requires waiting for a period of 2.5-3 months until the implant is integrated with the jawbone and moving to the second stage in which the ceramic teeth that are placed on the implant are measured and then installed within a week or ten days. And in order to be able to transplant to the patient, the thickness of the bone must be sufficient.
The shortest implant is currently available in clinics, its height is 6-8 mm and its diameter is 3.5-4 mm. For this reason, a thicker bone structure is needed to place such implants in the jaw.
For example, for an implant with a height of 6-8 mm and a diameter of 3.5 mm, the bone height must be between 7 and 9 mm and its thickness is 5.5 mm. If the patient does not have bone of this required diameters, advanced surgical techniques are used to enlarge the bone.
For this purpose, surgeries such as bone amplification and diffusion, titanium mesh and sinus elevation are proccesed successfully in our clinic.
As the family of dent Akdeniz şifa and with our best medical staff who finished all its development in perfect shape, we apply the transplant treatment to every healthy individual.
We provide lifelong implant support.
A certificate is provided to our patients stating the type and size of the implant applied to the patients.
Unfortunately in some clinics there are many patients who cannot put teeth on them because the brand of the implant is not known.
In the case where the implants are integrated into the jawbone but the brand of the implant is not known, unfortunately these implants must be removed.
Our patients can also place the prosthesis on top of the implant wherever they are in the world even if they cannot return to the superstructure after the implant procedure
1/ Immediate implantation : implant in one day :
After the necessary procedures are taken, the implant can be made after tooth extraction at the same time, these implants are a treatment recommended by doctors. Because bone shrinkage begins to occur within the first 24 hours once a tooth is extracted, bone loss in the tooth can be prevented by immediate implants. Extraction and implantation on the same day is a convenient treatment for the patient.
2// Prosthetics (dentures) made with the support of implants :
Implantable prosthetics are fixed or removable prosthetics. Fixed prostheses are made by fixing on implants placed in the dental bone.
Removable dentures are a type of artificial tooth applied in cases where there are many missing teeth and treatment with fixed dentures cannot be performed. Removable dentures are a method used in patients with missing teeth or in patients with completely weak teeth. This procedure can be easily applied in patients who have sufficient bone and tooth structure.The implant can be coated from different materials based on the patient’s request. Implant-supported prosthetics are prepared in smaller sizes compared to traditional prosthetic procedures. This makes it easier for the patient to adapt to the prosthesis. Because the implant is made with support, chewing becomes stronger.
3/ Surgical methods used to provide appropriate support for the bones in the application of implants :
In order to make the implant supported teeth in a healthy way, the implants should have a circumference of at least 1 mm and they should be surrounded by bone, therefore, bony support of sufficient width and length is needed for the application of long-term implants.
4/There are two main ways in which we can detect the presence of an adequate amount of bone :
- The examination is carried out in the clinic by an experienced and experienced doctor.
- Volumetric tomography of the teeth (3D imaging) is used where we can see all the details that cannot be detected during the examination and even during the operation. If there is not enough orthopedic support, proper orthopedic support will be provided using surgical techniques such as sinus lift, bone powder use, bone sawing, and use of titanium mesh.
Sinus lift technique ;
If there is not enough bone in the posterior region of the jaws, this is a surgical technique used to provide new bone formation in the vertical direction of the sinus region. The sinuses are the anatomical spaces located near the upper jaw, that is, our molar teeth that were injured just above the upper jaw. When teeth are lost in the posterior region of the upper jaw and the prosthesis is not replaced in time, the distance between the sinus wall and the upper point of the jawbone, called the apex, becomes shorter. Since there is not enough bone to be in this area, the sinuses are raised to increase the rate of diminishing bone.
This procedure is usually performed using local anesthesia. The sinus area is raised to the required level, bone powder and grafting are performed in the gap that is created through a small window that opens from the mouth in that area, and the area is sutured and the area closed. Sinus grafting is used to apply implant treatment to areas devoid of teeth as a result of filling sagging sinus cavities. Thanks to this operation, a sufficient volume is created for the length and width of the implant, which must be completely inserted into the bone.
Bone sawing, bone cracking, sandwich technique, bone splitting.
It is a technique in which the bone is opened like a sandwich with insufficient bone thickness and the implant is placed between it. The jaw is expanded by separating the bone in the horizontal direction.
Bone augmentation :
They are surgical procedures that are performed to thicken or increase the height of the tooth-bearing bone so that implants can be performed. During these procedures, the patient’s own bones may be used, as well as specially produced bone powders, usually animal or synthetic bone powders. It may also be possible to place the implant at the same time as the session as the bone powders are used
Titanium mesh (titanium membrane) :
It can be used easily because it has excellent biocompatibility, occlusive properties, very good permeability and softness, it can be cut to fit surgical fields. Provides 3D reconstruction of alveolar bone defects. Ensures proper maintenance of bone grafts, improves bone regeneration area, and facilitates bone replacement. Aids in bone formation as a barrier through shaping.
