What is a dental implant?

• Dental implants are artificial teeth used to
  replace and support restorations to resemble real
  teeth.
• They fall under both prosthetic dentistry and
  cosmetic dentistry.
• Most common and most logical solution for fixing
  teeth damaged due to injury.

Why do people need dental implants ?

• Tooth decay
• - usually occurs when person doesnt care for
  teeth
• Gum diseases
• - people who dont take care of their gums, most
  likely having periodontitis.
• -Periodontitis is inflammation and infection of
  the ligaments and bones that support the teeth
• Root canal failure
• Those who did not have a successful root canals
• Tooth loss
• Due to injuries or bad care of teeth

What are the implants made of?

• Made of a titanium screw either having a rough or
  smooth surface
• Usually made of titanium from grade 1-4, but
  sometimes 5
• Titanium is used because it is a lot stronger
  than material used in dentures
• The need for a strong metal is necessary to
  support the restoration after the procedure

5
Titanium grades

• Titanium grades 1-4 are commercially pure,
  meaning made of just titanium unlike grade 5
• As the grade goes up, the stronger the titanium
• Grade 5 contains aluminum and vanadium along with
  titanium, making it stronger than grades 1-4

6
Osseointegrated implant

• Most common form of dental implants used
• Just simply when you connect the titanium screw
  to the persons actual bone

7
Surgery

• Before surgery the surgeon/doctor will have a
  consulting session with you
• They will take a better look at the restoration
  sight in the mouth and determine various things
  such as, incision points, type of operation, etc.
• Most of the time doctors use ct scans to take a
  better look at the persons tooth
• Sometimes a stent is placed on tooth to show
  where the incisions will be made

8
Success and failure

• This operation has a 95 success rate
• Though the success rate is high, this doesnt
  mean it doesnt fail sometimes
• Post-surgery patients must continue to properly
  take care of their teeth
• The persons jaw must be strong enough to support
  the new artificial tooth
• Those with type 2 diabetes might not be able to
  undertake this surgery because of the lack of
  blood quality near the jaw
