Dentistry: Types of Implants

Dental implantology todayTitanium materials and alloys are used as widely as possible. They are considered the most common, both in our country and abroad. Titanium materials have been used for many years and during this time have proven themselves only from the best side, and in almost 99.9% of all cases.


Most dentists preferuse technical titanium, because, in addition to pure titanium, it contains a certain amount of iron (relatively large, one gram of iron per four kilograms of titanium). For implantation, the material is good for several reasons. It is biologically inert and has high anti-corrosion properties, does not enter into chemical reactions with surrounding tissues.

Dental implants are often used asThe main tool implants are the so-called root form. They look traditional, like a threaded stepped cylinder. Such constructions are used especially often when the bone volume for implantation is large enough. Sometimes the dentist performs the procedure of sinus lifting, that is, building up bone tissue in order to implant the implant into it. Although manufacturers represent different root implants, virtually all of them have the appearance of a titanium screw.

Simultaneous implantation of teeth activelyuses plate implants. Their advantages are manifested even in the specifics of implantation: such an implant can be inserted much deeper into the bone than the root implant. Thus, it is possible to obtain good stability of the resulting prosthesis. If the bone is narrow and it is impossible to implant root-like implants, implantologists use a laminar version.

Tooth implantation also implies the use ofand other types of implants. Among them, the first place is taken by the implants of the combined form, hybrids of the laminar and root-like implants. They can have a large size, a very complex configuration, they are easy to adjust for the volume defects of the dentition.

Важно отметить, что все эти имплантаты являются intraosseous, or endoostely. Only an experienced specialist of the First Doctor can decide which option to choose in each specific case. For example, express implantation of teeth often uses only one or two types of implants, which is explained by the complexity of their implantation. Cheap and unqualified doctors, by the way, can have only a couple of different implants and apply on the client not what suits him, but what is. Even if the operation itself is carried out at a high level, the new tooth will still not take root and may cause discomfort or even pain. Therefore, it is better not to trust non-professionals.

Professionals, in addition to intraosseous,use and subperiosteal (subperiosteal) implants. Most often they are used in cases of resorption - a strong thinning of the jaw bone. They are placed under the gum between the bone and periosteum. The difficulty of using this type of implant is due to its specific design that requires fine work. Properly placed in the jaw, it will firmly hold, look attractive and effectively perform the natural functions of a natural tooth.
