Maximum Cantilever Length in Dental Implants

Dentist — Wed, 09 May 2012 23:53:29 +0000

The following guidelines must be considered in the maximum length for cantilever design of fixed prosthesis in dental implants.
1. A rigid cantilever on a single fixture is contraindicated.
2. The maximum cantilever length design for a linear fixture arrangement using two to three fixtures is approximately equal to the length of the implant fixture arrangement.

Rigid cantilever on a single fixture is contraindicated

3. The maximum length cantilever design for a curved arrangement using four to six fixtures is almost twice the anteroposterior length of fixture arrangement.

Surgical Trauma in Dental Implants

Dentist — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:42:59 +0000

Heat produced during the time of drilling, elevation from the periosteal flap and excessive pressure in the crestal region throughout implant positioning may lead to implant bone loss throughout the recovery.

Heat generation and excessive pressure

Eriksson and Albrektsson reported the critical temperature for implant site preparation was 47 degrees Celcius for just one minute or 40 degrees Celcius for seven minutes. Matthews and Hirsch shown that temperature elevation was affected more through the pressure applied than drill speed. When both drill speed and applied pressure were elevated, no significant rise in temperature was observed because of efficient cutting.

Sharawy et al. in comparison the heat produced through the drills of 4 different implant systems run at speeds of just 1,225, 1,667 and 2,500 revoltions per minute. All the drill systems could prepare an 8 mm site with no temperature rising by a lot more than 4 Celcius (to 41 Celcius).

For those drill systems, the 1,225 revoltions per minute drill speed needed a thirty to forty percent longer drilling time when in comparison with 2,500 revoltions per minute along with a 20 to 40 % decrease in time needed for bone temperature to normalise. With greater depth of preparation and inadequate time between drill changes, a harmful temperature rise to 47 degrees Celcius or greater might be arrived at. The authors suggest that surgeons interrupt the drilling cycle every 5 to 10 seconds to permit irrigant time for you to awesome the osteotomy.

Periosteal flap

The periosteal elevation continues to be recommended among the possible adding factors to crestal implant bone loss. Wilderman et al. reported the mean horizontal bone loss after osseous surgery with periosteal elevation is roughly .8 mm, and also the reparative potential is extremely based mostly on the quantity of cancellous bone (not cortical bone) beneath the cortical bone. The bone loss at stage II implant surgery in effectively osseointegrated implants is usually vertical and noted only round the implant characterised by saucerisation, not the nearby bone despite the fact that throughout surgery all of the bone was uncovered.

CAD CAM in Dental Implants

Dentist — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:16:59 +0000

In recent years, implant technique is widely used for replacing a lost dentition inside the oral cavity. Osseointregrated implant system has been introduced and used in many countries. A lot of company offers various implant system in the market worldwide. Different fabrication style of implant are now available but with the advancement of technologies, like the development of different system supported by computer, CAD-CAM is now used in almost all dental lab field.

Pointers in applying CAD CAM System to fabricate implat structures abutment
1. Design, diagnosis for implant restoration.
2. Immediate pressure for implant restoration.
3. Fabrication of custom abutment.
4. Implant abutment structure fabrication by using CAD CAM System.
5. Occlusion in implant restoration.

Demineralized Dentin Matrix on Alveolar Bone with Implant

Dentist — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:05:41 +0000

One study in Korea, describes the use of autogenous demineralized dentin matrix as material for repair of various alveolar bone defect. According to the study, several cases of tooth and alveolar bone loss were treated with titanium implants with demineralized dentin matrix as bone grafts.

Wounds were classified:
1. Guided Bone Regeneration with demineralized dentin matrix powder.
2. One or two wall repair with root form.
3. Volume or anatomic defect repair with root on.
4. Socket preservation.

The organic component of dentin, which accounts mainly 20% of dentin weight is mainly type I collagen. Type I collagen is a component of bone. Dentin also contains bone morphogentic proteins (BMP), which promote the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes and thus enhace bone formation. The interest of study is if teeth extracted from patients could be recylced as biomaterial for autologous bone grafting, this would represent a safe and noninvasive implant option, which would be associated with a minimal risk of rejection and infection.

Protocols in Implant Dentistry

Dentist — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:59:34 +0000

With the increasing number of implant pratitioners, the dental laboratories need to be ready to support the demand for implant supported dentures. There are requirements needed in fabricating both fixed and removable dentures. Both dentists and dental technicians should have a common understanding of the techniques and procedures involved. Protocols for both dental clinics and dental laboratories should be established and observed as they work together on implant cases.

Implant System in Anterior Esthetics

Dentist — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 03:02:07 +0000

Dental Implant therapy has been a predictable treatment modality in long term studies. Nevertheless, the predictability of anterior dental implant esthetics has always been a challenge for the long term results.

Since the alveolar bone around implant platform area constantly shows bone resorption of approximately 1.5 mm in depth and 1.4 mm in depth after function, the recession of gingiva around the implant occurs.

It is possible that we can maintain the alvoelar bone. There are differences among implant systems, regarding bone resorption. Implant designs cause different degrees of bone resorption. Implant and abutment design create differences in anterior esthetics.

Occlusal Schemes for Dental Implant Treatment

Dentist — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:38:22 +0000

Standards for different type of dental implant treatment:
1. When making a fully bone anchored denture, use a mutually protected occlusion to obtain posterior disclusion.
2. When making a overdenture, used a balanced occlusion. The anterior denture teeth are supported by overdenture attachments and the posterior denture teeth are supported by tissues, some molar disclusion is possible to function as a modified mutually protected occlusion.
3. When making a freestanding fixed partial denture for the anterior region including replacement of a canine, use a group function occlusion. During lateral movements, horizontal loads are shared between the natural teeth and the denture.
4. When making a freestanding fixed partial denture for posterior teeth with natural anterior teeth present, use a mutually protected occlusion with posterior disclusion.

Implant Supported Crown

Dentist — Sat, 07 May 2011 09:56:25 +0000

Implant supported crown is a good replacement for a missing single tooth.

Dental Implant supported crowns have the following advantages:

It looks, feels and performs similar to natural dentition.
Sound adjacent teeth are not compromised to support a dental bridge.
It preserves the bone.
It prevents bone collapse and recession.
Oral health care is almost same as natural tooth.
It restores esthetics resulting to good self confidence.

Dental implants will maintain the surrounding bone and soft tissue.

Artificial Gingiva for Dental Implants

Dentist — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 07:28:08 +0000

Fully bone anchored denture in maxilla can cause problems in phonation. This is due to space between prosthesis and the residual tissues. The use of artificial gingiva resolves phonetic problems due to this space.

Artificial gingiva can be fabricated using a direct sprinkle-on technique with self-cure resin. It can also be done by doing a wax-up and processing with heat-cured resin or silicon material. Artificial gingiva, also known as gum pad, is placed labially between the prosthesis and residual tissues. The artificial gingiva should be cleaned following methods for a removable denture.
