Dental implantation in Kirov: what is it?

New or old technology?

The development of implantation since the 60s of the 20th century has been based on two different technologies. The founder of modern dental implantology, Swedish doctor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, came up with root-shaped implants that were implanted in two stages. The phenomenon of osseointegration, discovered by scientists from Sweden, proved that a titanium rod implanted into bone tissue was able to completely fuse with the bone, becoming motionless, strong, and stable.

American professor Leonard Linkov invented implantation systems similar to blades or thin plates (blades). To implant them, it was necessary to cut out a bed in the basal tissue of the bone, where a plate with a pin was placed. A crown was then placed on it, and the implant itself was integrated into the bones, overgrown with connective tissue.

At that time, basal dental implantation became an ideal option for those patients for whom root-shaped implants were contraindicated due to insufficient bone tissue for their implantation.

Later, basal technology was improved in 1982 by the French scientist Jean-Marc Julier. The scientist proposed an implant in the form of an inverted letter T with a longer root part than that of classical products. It was not installed in the spongy porous tissue of the jaw bone, where the roots of the teeth are located, as with traditional implantation, but in deeper layers - the basal ones.

At his instigation, the method of implanting implantation systems for bone tissue atrophy, if the patient has insufficient volume, began to be actively introduced in dental clinics in Europe. The basal bone is not subject to atrophy and has fewer capillaries. Such characteristics made it possible to carry out dental implantation even with a significant lack of the upper layer of the jaw bone.

However, by the beginning of the 90s, European dental associations agreed that the effectiveness of basal implantation was low. In practice, it turned out that implants implanted in this way served much less than root-shaped ones and could not withstand the chewing load.

However, the collapse of the Iron Curtain between Russia and Europe in the 90s opened the way for ineffective basal implantation in dental clinics in Russia and the CIS countries.

Schroeder types:

• the first type is the most successful for prosthetics, since nothing prevents the fixation of the structure: it is characterized by high bone and gum (alveolar process), pronounced tubercles, a high palate and the place of attachment of the jaw muscles,
• the second type is characterized by an average degree of bone tissue atrophy: slightly pronounced tubercles, a palatal vault of medium depth, but with a sharp contraction of the muscles, displacement of the prosthesis may occur,
• the third type is not suitable for prosthetics, since significant atrophy of bone tissue is observed: the palate is flat, the height of the gums and bones is minimal. We can say that the alveolar process is absent and is compared to the sky.

The essence of the basal implantation method

Despite the fact that basal implantation is prohibited in a number of European countries, it is still actively used in Russia. It may be offered under other names: transgingival, compression, one-stage, one-component, single-phase, express implantation, rapid implantation system, minimally invasive (or minimally invasive), implantation with immediate loading. You need to know this so that you don’t accidentally agree to install basal implants under a different name.

Dental implantation using the basal method

Judging by the names of the basal method, it can be understood that the active use of the basal implantation method in a number of clinics is based on the following three pillars:

• unlike classical two-stage implantation, prosthetics are carried out not after 2-6 months, but within one week;
• implants can be implanted in cases of edentia and complete absence of teeth without increasing bone volume;
• there are far fewer medical contraindications for its implementation than with the traditional method.

These three advantages determine the category of patients for whom basal technology is recommended:

• in the absence of more than three teeth or their complete absence;
• in the presence of inflammatory processes in bone tissue, advanced dental diseases of periodontal tissues: periodontitis, periodontal disease, idiopathic diseases with tissue lysis, periodontoma (tumors);
• severe atrophy of soft and hard jaw tissues;
• if you want to urgently restore teeth and it is impossible to carry out the classical protocol;
• if you are allergic to acrylic plastic of removable dentures or have an individual intolerance to them.

The decisive factor for many patients when choosing basal technology is, first of all, its efficiency. Waiting for dental restoration for several months, and sometimes more than a year, scares people away, and they agree to the fastest option.

Few clients of dental clinics pay attention to a very important point in the warranty agreement for the basal method - they do not exceed 12 months. Whereas classic implants, for example, Nobel biocare (USA) or Straumann (Switzerland), are given a lifetime guarantee.

Basal implantation in Moscow. Basal Implantation Institute and Clinics

According to studies on our portal, no more than 10 dentists are engaged in basal implantation in Moscow, while there are no more than three specialized clinics with extensive experience in this method. One of the first in Russia to practice single-phase implantation was the clinics “Simpladent”, “dentalroott”, doctors from the clinics “Smile-at-once” and “Center for Express Implantation”.

Basal implantation promotions and discounts in Moscow clinics! Considering the cost of dental implantation, many patients expect special offers from clinics for treatment. Indeed, when searching for basal implantation clinics, cost is often a primary consideration along with choosing a dentist to perform the treatment.

How is basal implantation performed?

Before performing basal implantation, the dentist examines the patient’s oral cavity and prescribes an orthopantomogram and computed tomogram. This will allow you to evaluate the structure, bone density, and calculate the required distance between the implant installation area and adjacent teeth. Ideally, the surgeon should create a 3D model for accurate implantation, but not all specialists do this.

After a comprehensive examination and test results, dentists carry out, if necessary, sanitation of the oral cavity, treatment of pathologies of teeth and gums. If there are no contraindications, a one-stage basal implant procedure is performed.

Proponents of basal implants argue that their installation is a low-traumatic process for patients. Classical implantation involves extensive drilling of the cancellous bone and the need to open the gums to place a large-diameter implant. With basal implantation, the surgeon must not only peel off the mucosa and periosteum, but also cut into holes deep into the basal layers of the bone. Therefore, the healing process will be extremely painful and will take at least two weeks.

If a specialist has created a 3D model, then special stencil templates, prepared in advance using modeling programs, are placed on the gums. An implant with a permanent abutment is screwed through the holes in the stencils at an angle. This process is carried out even immediately after tooth extraction.

Basal implants are a one-component, non-separable titanium root system with a periosteal abutment. Their installation takes only 20-30 minutes and is carried out under local anesthesia. After 3-4 days, the surgeon begins the prosthetic stage, putting on a permanent crown with a load instead of a temporary one. Thus, dental restoration is completed in one week. And this is the main decisive point for some patients who do not want to wait for the long-term implantation of a classic implant for many months and undergo bone grafting.

Types of implants for the basal method

Maxillary implantation techniques used to restore anterior teeth

If a person is missing one or two or three front teeth in the upper jaw, then the optimal solution may be a classic two-stage implantation.
The advantages of this technology when performing implantation in the upper jaw certainly include the highest level of aesthetics of the final result. High aesthetics is achieved by careful planning of the operation and taking into account all key details. The classical implantation of teeth in the upper jaw itself is divided into several successive stages:

• Carrying out diagnostics, selection of implants, and also (if necessary) bone grafting operations;
• Implantation of dental implants and installation of a gum former, which will allow you to obtain a beautiful contour of the mucous membrane in the implantation area;
• Installation of crowns on an established implant.

Crowns for installation on an implant can be made from the most modern materials. For implantation of the upper front teeth, the best option is considered to be crowns made of dental ceramics - a durable, reliable material, the shade of which can be easily matched to the color of the patient’s natural teeth.

USEFUL TO KNOW: Many patients are interested in whether it is necessary to undergo additional bone tissue augmentation surgery before classical implantation of the upper teeth. The answer to this question will sound like this: yes, when implanting the upper teeth using classical osteoplasty technology, it is necessary to perform it, due to the fact that implants of a certain model will be implanted into the bone. If there is not enough bone volume, the implants simply will not stay in it and may fall out or fail to take root, and this can lead to the most negative consequences for the patient’s health! To avoid serious complications and make implantation of the upper jaw as safe as possible for the patient, qualified implantologists insist on preliminary osteoplasty.

However, practice shows that in the area of ​​the front teeth, in most cases, the bone tissue is in good condition, has the required height and volume, so if preliminary osteoplasty is needed, it can be done in the most gentle way possible.

What types of implants are used?

For the basal implantation protocol, different implant options are used:

• disc (or lateral) - an outdated type, practically not used today due to high trauma, the need to cut the gums and saw out the bone;
• T-shaped disc (biocortical) - with a lower screw rod and a wide sharp thread for better stabilization in bone tissue;
• classic - their thread allows you to tightly fix the implants in the cortical layers of the bone and guarantee their reliable stability;
• compression (root-shaped) - have a microscopic thread on a titanium rod and a special abrasive coating for faster healing in both the cancellous and basal bone;
• combined - equipped with biocortical and compression threads at the same time, designed for implantation into the alveolar socket from an extracted tooth;
• zygomatic – placed in the upper jaw at an angle of 30-40 degrees.

Examples of work “Before” and “After”

Restoration of all teeth on the upper and lower jaw - basal implantation
Case: partial absence of teeth on the upper and lower jaw, complicated by severe periodontitis (tooth mobility).

Complex one-stage implantation of the lower jaw

Case: there was a loose bridge of 4 front teeth on the lower jaw; after diagnosis, removal of the remaining teeth and coplex basal implantation were prescribed.

Restoration of all teeth in 4 days - basal implantation

Case: Absence of all healthy teeth on both jaws.

Restoration of all teeth using basal implantation method (March 2012)

Case: partial adentia, exposed roots of natural teeth, periodontitis, increased tooth mobility, severe atrophy of bone tissue in some places beyond the possible norms for classical dental implantation.

Disadvantages of basal implantation

The technique of implanting implant systems not into the jawbone, as with the classical method, but into the deep basal sections, is prohibited in many countries. The basal implantation method is recognized as ineffective, giving the effect of rejection in the early stages.

However, one can constantly observe incorrect advertising of some dental clinics both in Russia and the former fraternal republics, hiding the truth. This misleads customers who are attracted by fast dental restoration times and lower prices.

The main disadvantages of the basal method are:

• the impossibility of performing it in the absence of one tooth (at least three) in contrast to classical implantation;
• a labor-intensive and highly traumatic installation process, during which damage occurs to the deep layers of bone structures;
• clinically proven in practice high risk of rejection in the early stages;
• disruption of the natural biomechanics of the chewing process, basal implants are unable to withstand angular overloads during chewing;
• hygienic problems in the oral cavity that arise in the zone of transition of a thin implant into a wide crown with a load;
• unaesthetic appearance of restored teeth due to the fact that the gum tissue remains atrophied, the dentures do not fit tightly;
• lack of possibility of correction in case of medical error;
• the beginning of the process of implant rejection leads to the destruction of the hardest zone of the basal bone - the cortical plate, the restoration of which will take several years;
• if the basal implant is rejected, the client is forced to undergo classical implantation with sinus lifting (increasing the volume of bone tissue), which will require him not only new financial and time costs, but also a more traumatic operation. Or turn to prosthetic methods that do not involve implantation.

With the basal method, implants are screwed deep into the bone tissue

There is practically no price imbalance between basal and alternative prosthetic methods (the difference can be only 2-3 thousand rubles). Although with early rejection of basal products, it turns out that in fact, at the price of classic permanent implants, patients are offered temporary basal implants and temporary bridges.

Keller types:

• the first type is favorable for prosthetics: the alveolar process is high, smooth, the attachment of the facial muscles is high,
• the second type does not allow fixation of the prosthesis due to the short and narrow alveolar process, as well as the low point of muscle attachment. However, atrophy in this type is uniform, albeit sharp,
• the third type is characterized by pronounced atrophy of the bone structure in the lateral sections; in the area of ​​the anterior teeth, the alveolar part is suitable for prosthetics and is clearly visible,
• the fourth type is the opposite of the third, since the bone is atrophied in the area of ​​the front teeth, but is well defined in the lateral region.

Possible consequences

Surgeons at some dental clinics lure people with promises of installing basal implants for existing inflammatory diseases, existing cancer, and type I diabetes. In all of these cases, a person’s immunity is sharply reduced, the survival of a foreign body is difficult and can have a number of undesirable consequences:

• peri-implantitis (infectious inflammation of soft tissues with a purulent nature) - often occurs with an untreated inflammatory process;
• bad breath coming from the implantation site;
• damage to blood vessels with hematoma and suture dehiscence;
• the presence of pain in the temporomandibular joint;
• complete resorption of tissue around polished discs;
• exposure of the necks of the implants, its cutting through the bone tissue and the mucous membrane of the intraosseous part - this is observed already in the first 1-5 years;
• loosening and mobility of the implant is a natural reaction of bone tissue to improper force load;
• implant rejection.

The reason for the rejection of the basal implant can be several reasons: from an incorrectly selected product to incomplete diagnosis and the doctor’s omission of inflammatory processes. The patient's body can also reject the implant if there is intolerance to the artificial root material. Banal non-compliance with hygiene rules for caring for the oral cavity after implantation, alcohol, smoking, and drugs also provoke rejection.

Patients easily buy into the “Fast and Cheap” advertising of basal implantation that seems optimal to them. As a result, they not only lose the implant, but also suffer destruction of the soft and bone tissue around it. Due to the loss of bone crest volume, correction of the consequences of basal implantation can take years for clients. Moreover, you will have to spend amounts tens of times higher than the cost of classical prosthetic technology.

Consequences of complete edentia:

• serious speech disorders (indistinct pronunciation of sounds: d, z, l, n, t, h);
• changes in bite and facial contours;
• inability to fully eat, the patient’s diet changes to soft and liquid foods, many healthy foods are excluded;
• malnutrition affects the digestion process, leads to a lack of a number of substances in the patient’s body, and can also cause the development of various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• problems with the normal functioning of the temporomandibular joint;
• development of deep wrinkles due to weakening of the soft tissues around the oral area;
• the development of psychological discomfort in society due to an unaesthetic smile and, as a result, an increase in depression.

What dentists say

The opinions of dentists regarding basal implantation are ambiguous. Some are categorically against this technique, others accuse opponents of basal implantation of conservatism and even a lack of professionalism.

The chief physician of the Center for Reconstructive Surgery and Implantation believes that basal implantation is nothing more than an attempt to deceive the biomechanics of chewing. Non-root-shaped basal implants with the thickness of a matchstick do not withstand chewing overload. This leads to resorption of the last boundaries of the bone and rejection of the implants. Naturally, the results of basal implants with immediate loading are in many ways inferior to classical technology.

Other implantologists (including doctors of medical sciences, professors, academic members of the Russian Academy of Sciences), based on their many years of experience in implantology, are categorical in their statements, openly saying that basal implantation is “pure deception.” They insist that this is not an innovative, but rather a medieval method, and in no case should it be a full replacement for classical implantation.

Dentists with foreign experience criticize basal jaw implantation even more: they harshly condemn the method of filing non-removable abutments. According to the chief physician of one of the specialized private clinics, they stick out like anti-tank hedgehogs right in the client’s oral cavity. The doctor is surprised: “What does it mean to saw high-strength titanium in the mouth? Try sawing off a piece of metal reinforcement using your head as a support. And you will feel the fullness of the upcoming sensations. In a word, the most perfect collective farm and primitivism compared to modern Brånemark systems, where the implant and the superstructure (abutment) are not one whole.”

However, dentists do not categorically deny basal implantation, giving it a place in critically extreme cases when it is impossible to carry out the classical protocol:

• for serious injuries and injuries to the jaw bones;
• in most cancers associated with the loss of a large mass of tissue;
• with severe inflammation, acute bone resorption, large loss of tissue of the jaw bones and the impossibility of their growth.

Although, as practice shows, with the development of modern technologies for bone tissue restoration, the need for basal implantation is finally becoming a thing of the past.

Doctors recommend low-traumatic methods as an alternative to basal implantation

Indications and contraindications for basal prosthetics

Supporters of basal implantation are trying to present this technique as almost a panacea and the list of indications for it is very large. We are not supporters of this method, so we cannot recommend it in any situation.

“The practice of using basal implantation in European countries has shown that it can cause too much damage to the patient’s health. Therefore, in some countries this method was banned at the state level.”

Chief physician of the Academy of Dent Sadov Igor Yuryevich, a specialist with more than 20 years of experience, member of the European Association of Implantologists, member of the International Congress of Dental Implantologists.

The list of contraindications to this method is quite extensive:

• oncopathology;
• decompensated diabetes mellitus;
• tuberculosis;
• untreated arterial hypertension;
• severe disorders of the coagulation system (hypocoagulation);
• pronounced hypertonicity of the masticatory muscles.

Ages under 22 years are a contraindication for this implantation method, since until this age the growth and formation of bones, including jaws, continues

This is interesting! Smoking is a relative contraindication to any type of implantation, due to the fact that smokers have almost 5 times lower chances of successful implantation. This is due to the fact that long-term smoking leads to a decrease in bone density, deterioration of microcirculation in tissues, and slower regeneration. Unscrupulous marketers claim that basal implantation is more effective in smokers, but there is no confirmation of this fact - the percentage of rejection of basal implants in this category of patients is no higher than the percentage of rejection of conventional ones.

Alternative to basal implantation

The dental clinic "Yulistom" values ​​​​its reputation and offers its patients only reliable, high-quality, painless dental restoration. We use the latest modern technologies, recognized by clinical recommendations of world dental associations.

Single-stage implantation using the endosseous method

This is an express method that allows you to restore an extracted tooth in the shortest possible time. It is carried out in one, maximum two stages, immediately after the removal of a diseased tooth, when the bone tissue has not yet had time to atrophy. It will take 2-6 months for the implant to heal.

It is considered the most physiological method that allows you to completely restore all the functions of a lost tooth, preventing a decrease in the volume of bone tissue. It differs from basal technology in that it is implanted not into the deep layers of the bone, but into the spongy layer.

Its advantages are:

• speed of tooth restoration – in 1-2 visits to the doctor;
• cost-effective procedure.

The downside is the impossibility of performing one-stage implantation using the intraosseous method in the presence of an inflammatory process or jaw injury.

One-step protocols

The classic implantation protocol is carried out in two stages with a break of several months between implant installation and prosthetics. This method, although it takes a long time, is reliable and time-tested.

The difference between one-stage protocols and the classic one is the reduction in time for treatment and restoration of missing teeth. In most cases, patients do not have to wait for the socket to heal; crowns are installed immediately - in one stage, the treatment period is reduced to 4 months.

The best solutions for one-stage implantation are:

• All-on-4 protocol – provides prosthetics on four implants, Nobel and Straumann products are used. Performed when there is slight atrophy of the alveolar ridge. Prosthetics using the “All-on-4” method will take 1-7 days, healing of implants will take up to 6 months;
• All-on-6 protocol – implantation of 6 implants per jaw is necessary for more severe bone atrophy. With this method, the survival rate of implants is from 2 to 4 months in the lower jaw, from 4 to 6 in the more porous upper jaw;
• zygomatic implantation – implants extended to 60 mm are used, which act as substitutes for tooth roots; they are installed deep into the cranial bones, which are not subject to atrophy. Thanks to them, you can do without bone grafting and sinus lifting, but their fixation is possible only on the upper jaw. The orthopedic system is installed in 1-3 days, the implants take root within six months.

There is also the so-called intramucosal or intramucosal implantation. To achieve this, mini-implants are used. They are necessary for interprosthetic fixation or securing a removable denture. They are used in situations where it is impossible to place permanent implants, in cases of bone tissue deficiency, palate defects, and the impossibility of surgical intervention.

Trefoil or All-on-3

This “All on 3” technology has received the name “trefoil” among dentists. This is one of the newest immediate loading implantation techniques proposed by the American-Swiss company Nobel Biocare. It has been actively implemented in Russia since 2022.

Treifol prosthetic technology

As scientific studies have shown, Trefoil is considered so far the most effective intraosseous prosthetic method, allowing dental surgeons to solve the most complex problems.

For All-on-3 implantation, only three implants are used, which are immediately installed vertically in the frontal area without subsequent re-prosthetics. The technique requires a highly qualified doctor, mandatory 3D diagnostics and bite correction by aligning the jaw bone of the lower jaw. The three implants are connected by a titanium bar, customized individually for each patient.

The advantages of Trefoil are:

• restoration of damaged dentition in one day with a permanent prosthesis;
• procedure without bone grafting;
• perfect positioning of rods with a high degree of fixation;
• rapid adaptation due to the location of the dentures not on gingival tissue, but on implants.

The only drawback of the All-on-3 implant system is the impossibility of installing it on the upper jaw.

Classic two-step method

Traditional two-stage or classical implantation, despite the introduction of new one-stage techniques, still remains a popular service. This is a reliable technology, actively used since the 80s of the 20th century, and is still at the top of dental restoration techniques.

Classic implantation with delayed loading is carried out in two stages:

1. In the first stage, the surgeon cuts the gum and inserts a dental implant into the jaw bone. After which the gum is sutured and a break of 3 months to six months is required for osseointegration of the rod into the bone tissue.
2. After the artificial roots have implanted, the gum is cut again, a gum former is screwed into the implant, and a permanent prosthesis is installed on it.

Two-stage implantation is used in cases of missing one or more teeth in a row, with partial or complete edentia, to restore the lower and upper dentition. Patients and dentists value this technology for its reliable, almost lifelong fixation, aesthetic appearance, and always guaranteed results.

The disadvantages include:

• long period of dental restoration – 2-6 months, with bone grafting – up to a year;
• the procedure is traumatic, in most cases – the need for osteoplasty;
• high risk of inflammation and long survival of implants in a number of diseases, for example, diabetes, as well as in old age.

Types of implants used

Manufacturers offer dentists a wide range of implants made of ceramic, titanium and zirconium in various shapes. Depending on the density of bone tissue and the size of the alveolar process, a design can be selected for the patient according to his parameters.

Implants vary:

• Intended use : intraosseous (attached to the jaw bone);
• extraosseous (installed in the periosteum, in the gum).

For the consumer, the class of implants (economy, business, premium) and the manufacturer’s brand are also of no small importance.

The leaders in the ranking of implant manufacturers are:

Nobel Biocare

The American-Swiss company accounts for 40% of world dentistry. Produces high-quality, low-impact products made of pure titanium coated with TiUnite. Guarantees 100% survival rate.

Straumann

A Swiss manufacturer with over 40 years of experience produces 350 types of implants, most of which are intended for immediate implantation. Promises a 20-year warranty on its products.

Hi-Tec

Israeli products made from technically pure grade 4 titanium. Their surface is sandblasted and acid etched. This increases the survival rate of the implant in the bone and reduces the risks for the patient.

Astra Tech

Innovative technologies guarantee a high survival rate of up to 99%. The products provide excellent long-term results with one-stage and two-stage surgical protocols.

MegaGen

Korean implants were able to supplant the Swiss, American and German leaders in implantology. The line of implantation systems from Korea is offered at reasonable prices, not inferior in quality and reliability to business-class products from European manufacturers. The AnyRidge series with Xpeed coating and Knife Tread has performed particularly well, with a survival rate of 99.2%.

Features of full dental implantation

No more unpleasant surprises. Complete dentures are fixed to the implants using a special fastening system. The locks snap into place, and the orthopedic structure will not budge under any circumstances unless you want to remove it.

After a thorough diagnosis, complex dental implantation is performed in one appointment. Once the healing process is complete, the implants are fully integrated into the bone and become an integral part of the jaw. You can attach the prosthesis to the new “roots” one day after the procedure.

Complex dental implantation in Moscow can be done regardless of the patient’s age and in almost any situation. You can learn more about this directly at an appointment with dental specialists specializing in this area.

With a “third” set of implant teeth, you will be able to eat, talk and laugh as if you had your own teeth. Implants will provide you with ideal comfort and confidence, which is impossible with classic removable prosthetics. Even if you still have a few natural teeth, but they are in poor condition, comprehensive implantation is the best solution to the problem.

Other jobs

Which is better – basal or classic dental implantation?

The most aesthetic type of dental restoration is implantation. It is especially in demand among the younger generation, whose representatives strive to restore their teeth as quickly as possible.

Advertising for basal implantation attracts the attention of many people with its rosy promises as an innovative technology that can do everything “quickly and cheaply.” In fact, this is an outdated technique that will be a waste of money and time if implants are rejected (statistically, this is 40%).

One-stage dental restoration protocols are an excellent alternative to rapid basal implantation. And the most reliable method is still classical implantation. Unlike basal technology, classical technology does not have many risks, even with full implantation. Although the recovery period will take much longer, it will pay off with many years of warranty in the future.

For clarity, we have prepared for you a comparative table of basal and classical implantation methods:

Compliance with the classic protocol for restoring dentition can last from 4 months to a year and a half of treatment and will require multiple visits to the doctor - up to 20 times. Basal dental implantation – will be completed in a maximum of one to two weeks in 3-5 appointments. In the balance: a lifetime guarantee or a high risk of teeth being rejected by the body. What result you need: long-term or short-term – it’s up to you to decide.

Postoperative follow-up

The service life of implants varies from patient to patient and varies from several years to ten to twenty-five, depending on the patient’s health condition.

It is very important for every person who decides to undergo an implantation procedure to know that after the operation, mandatory scheduled examinations with a dentist are required - after 1, 3 and 7 months. The doctor can check the functionality of the implanted implant, the state of oral hygiene, and the presence of signs of inflammation or implant rejection.

FAQ

1. Is it possible to immediately install a permanent prosthesis on basal implants? It is possible, the essence of basal implantation is the immediate loading of the implants with a denture.

2.Will there be pain after basal implantation, for how long? They will. Any surgical intervention is traumatic and painful. The duration of pain depends on the patient’s individual pain threshold and the number of implants. On the 14th day, the pain significantly decreases or stops.

3. Which technique should I choose to make the implants last longer: basal or endosseous?
Do not choose a technique on your own, consult with your dentists. Each technology has its own contraindications. In terms of the risk of implant rejection, the basal method shows much worse results. Moscow metro station Zvezdnaya, Danube Avenue, 23

Procedure for installing basal implants

Basal implantation is performed only in an outpatient setting and under local anesthesia, so discomfort and pain during the operation are excluded. The time it takes for implantation depends on where and how many implants need to be installed. As a rule, the procedure takes from 1 hour to four.

Stages of basal implantation:

1. Preparing the patient, performing anesthesia.
2. A model is created according to the individual characteristics of the patient, implants of a certain shape, size, type of thread and structure are selected, the angle of inclination of the implants and the distance between them are calculated.
3. If there are loose teeth, they are removed and then an implant is placed in the socket.
4. The implant is introduced and the abutment is fixed at the angle required for installation of the prosthesis.
5. Based on the impression taken, a prosthesis is made, which is fixed to the abutment on the 3rd day.

In the postoperative period, you may feel some discomfort in the form of minor pain, swelling and bruising after basal implantation.

Implantation of upper chewing teeth

Chewing teeth are those units in the row that are subject to maximum load when chewing food, and also take an active part in this process. Chewing teeth are found in the rows of both the upper and lower jaws, but the teeth located at the top are more likely to be destroyed. If a person has lost an upper chewing tooth, it can also be restored with implantation. But implantation of the upper chewing teeth usually involves some difficulties. If the patient lost a tooth a long time ago, its restoration was not carried out - the bone tissue could have had time to atrophy to a large extent. To avoid osteoplasty and restore the upper chewing teeth as quickly as possible, modern implantologists resort to simultaneous implantation of the upper jaw with immediate loading.

GOOD TO KNOW: Immediate loading implantation involves installing a temporary prosthesis on the implant immediately after its implantation. The advantages of this approach: the patient does not walk with a defect in the oral cavity, can eat without restrictions, and the risks of bone tissue atrophy are completely eliminated.

The one-stage protocol is increasingly used in dentistry when implanting upper posterior teeth, since it allows you to obtain the following advantages:

1. Avoid sinus lift surgery. This is possible thanks to the use of several different models of implants at once when implanting the upper chewing teeth - classic and elongated designs.

2. An elongated (zygomatic) implant is used for fixation at an angle and thanks to this, the strongest adhesion of the artificial root to the bone tissue is achieved. Such implants will hold firmly even if there is severe atrophy of the jaw bone;

3. Avoid removing healthy teeth first. It will be possible to securely fix the prosthesis on two implanted implants;

Relieve the patient of psychological and physical discomfort. After the implants are implanted, a prosthesis is immediately placed on them, which holds firmly and will not fall out of the mouth when talking or chewing food. A person can eat as usual and not be embarrassed to smile. Another advantage of immediate loading of the implant is that the process of bone tissue regeneration will occur faster. Under constant load, it will begin to grow and will tightly cover the implanted implant, ensuring its rapid engraftment.
