Dental implants

Dental implants are nowadays imposed as the best solution in the absence of one or more teeth, including the lack of teeth in the jaw. Implants are implanted into the jaw bone and are considered artificial roots that will handle future dental crowns.
An artificial tooth is the collective name for a screw which is inserted into the bone, abutment, which is the connection between the screw and the crown and the crown itself, which is the only visible part of the implant. Number of screws is less than the number of crowns because the 4-6 screws per jaw enough to hold all crown in the jaw.
Installation of dental implants today is routine surgeries with over 96% success. Even with a complete loss of teeth, this procedure is done quickly, in two phases with a three-month break (in the meantime, the patient receives a temporary denture), so I implant surgery does not affect the pace of life.
How many natural teeth needed for a dental bridge, so that the artificial roots. dental implants need to bridge the implants. Is mainly made on the crown of a tooth by dental implants physically separated from the dental crown to the tooth, but it is possible and in certain cases attachment of the dental implant and of the natural tooth.
As a solution for partial edentulism implants are one option, the other making dental bridge. Implants as a solution have the advantage compared to a dental bridge in the following cases:
When there is not enough natural teeth being made porters porcelain dental bridges, which make up for missing teeth;
When the teeth in the jaw healthy and strong so that they compensate for the missing bridge meant unnecessary grinding natural teeth;
In cases where the planned dental bridge girders are not stable enough to withstand the load, for example. when present is periodontal disease;
When the distance between the bridge girders future large – four or more teeth.
As a solution for the complete loss of teeth, fixed working with implants is one of the two options, with the latter option prosthesis attached to dental implants. The difference between these two techniques is explained in the section “Fixed work of the whole jaw,” and “prostheses on dental implants.”
