Dental implants are the most popular method of tooth loss restoration nowadays. Dental implants are becoming more and more accepted. So, why do people choose dental implants?
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Is there any harm in dental implants?
Let’s learn about the pros and cons of dental implants.
The five major benefits of teeth missing do grow teeth effect will be far better than the traditional bridge, embodied in the following advantages: 1, wide indications planting technology can fix the individual teeth missing, loss of most of the teeth, missing teeth and jaw defect free teeth missing such as a variety of reasons lead to absence of teeth.
2, easy to use, no foreign body sensation because the denture base is small, no base and clasp structure, so it is beautiful and comfortable, no foreign body sensation, convenient and comfortable for patients to use;
3, long service life after dental implant repair tooth loss, strong and durable, if you can pay attention to care, its service life is as long as the service life of the real teeth.
4. Strong masticatory ability. Solid dental implants can perfectly restore the masticatory function of the teeth by transferring the masticatory pressure to the alveolar bone through the artificial root (implant).
5, do not harm the adjacent teeth and natural teeth have the same root and crown, do not need to destroy other healthy teeth to fix the teeth, so will not cause damage to the adjacent teeth, but also can prevent the lack of teeth caused by the displacement of the adjacent teeth or tooth loosening;
1, the lower lip numbness of dental implant technology in place, is not damaged to the nerve, because the alveolar bone is below the nerve, called the alveolar nerve, if the implant to the back, it will destroy the nerve, so in order to protect the nerve, put it in the front of the nerve.
But if a dentist injures the mental nerve during an intraoperative dissection, or directly injures the lower alveolar nerve during an implant placement, the patient may experience numbness in the lower lip.
Damage to the inferior mental nerve is usually recoverable, but if the inferior alveolar nerve is injured, the implant should be removed to avoid nerve re-placement for implantation.
2, wound dehiscence occurs because the suture is too tight or too loose when the tooth is implanted.
Especially in the case of improper dental implant cleaning, induced infection, more likely to lead to local wound dehiscence.
The solution to the harm is to timely debridement and suture again to avoid implant exposure.
3, infection If the patient does not choose a regular hospital for dental implant operation, then there may be the harm of infection.
This is mostly because the operation is not properly sterilized, or surgical instruments caused by contamination.
4, gingival hyperplasia This is a complication caused by too little implant “root” through the gingival, or poor connection between the “root” and the bridge.
Will cause poor local hygiene, the occurrence of long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation, the final result is gum hyperplasia.
5, implant trauma, implant mechanical fracture common implant denture is accidentally hit, serious can cause slight implant loosening;
The fracture of the parts connected with the implant, such as the central screw and the bridge column screw, is mainly caused by mechanical factors or unreasonable stress distribution.
6, sinus mucosal perforation, progressive marginal bone resorption in maxillary implantation, due to insufficient bone mass, easy to penetrate the maxillary sinus or nasal floor mucosa, is bound to cause periimplant infection, should be removed in time;
Progressive marginal bone resorption occurs mostly in the bone tissue of the implant neck and is associated with gingivitis, peri-implantitis, excessive implant stress concentration, and prolonged uncorrected mechanical fracture of the implant.
