Many people cannot accept or want traditional restorations. After all, the way of fixing dentures is too cumbersome and even brings a lot of sequelae.
Therefore, micro-implants are a new option for them, which not only reduces surgical operations, but also does not require other bone grafts.
The usual way to repair missing teeth is to use fixed bridges, dentures or implants. Both fixed bridges and dentures are dentures that are placed on the surface of the gums. However, dental implants require mandibular implants, which can make the teeth more realistic and strong.
Dental implants are generally a surgical procedure performed by an oral surgeon to attach a titanium post (abutment) to the jawbone and hold it around the abutment for a period of three to six months. Once the abutment is fused to the bone, a small post is installed over the implant, which then acts as a retainer for the artificial tooth.
The better thing about implants than traditional dentures is that they won’t shift or even slip frequently. Micro-implants, on the other hand, have the same structure as regular dental implants, but are slightly smaller in shape.
It is usually composed of two parts: one is a titanium alloy with a spherical end, and the other is a base with a rubber ring, which is then fixed on the dental post. The width of conventional implants is between 3.4mm and 5.8mm, while the width of micro implants is 1.8mm-3.3mm and the length is 10-15mm.
Micro-implants only take a few months and can be completed, but some treatments require additional bone grafts to provide enough bone to support the surgery.
But we don’t lose too much bone mass compared to conventional implants, and implants are still a better choice in this case and don’t require any sutures.
Micro-implants also need to be cared for like natural teeth. Daily care by brushing twice a day and other methods recommended by your doctor is the best choice. After all, no one wants to lose their teeth again, and the impact of this cannot be experienced again.
After micro-implants, you can speak and eat better without worrying about affecting yourself.
