Immediate dental implants in India

Immediate Dental Implant After Extraction:

29 yr old man came with the complaint of pain in his upper back tooth region

His right side premolar is grossly decayed 

Patient wanted new teeth before he travels abrod

We removed his grossly decayed tooth 

And we planed for immediate implant placement

BCS single sitting implant is placed successfully 

After placement of implants


The temporary crown is given in the very next day 

Patient now able to eat properly with out pain

Permanent teeth will be given after 3 months

Basal implants vs Zygomatic implants

BASAL IMPLANT
Zygoma implant



If you have been told that there is less bone in your upper jaw for dental implants, do not worry. The best solution for cases with severe bone resorption in upper jaw is Basal implant. Basal implants are replacing zygomatic implants as the best solution for patients requiring dental implants for upper jaw. Such patients were going for sinus lift or bone grafts as per old techniques. In a single procedure we place Basal implant and place the permanent crown in 3 days. As we use single piece implants the procedure is flapless and done under local anaesthesia
The advantage of basal implants over zygomatic implants 
Basal implantZygomatic implant
Type of implantsSingle piece Implants is used. No screw loosening and no crestal bone loss.Screw based implants used. Screw loosening is a problem
CantileversNo cantilevers placedMolars if given are placed as cantilevers, which decrease the life of the bridge and cause screw loosening on the implant.
CriteriaNo contraindicationsSymptom free and pathologically free sinus
Relative risk of failureSince sinus is not involved, no risk of sinusitisRisk of sinus infection
Permanent bridgePermanent ceramic bridge on 3rd day of implant placement, as the implant engages hard cortical bone.Acrylic/plastic for first 4 months. Then cantilever permanent ceramic bridge given after 4 months.
CT scanNot needed.Compulsorily needed
Surgical guideNot neededCompulsorily needed
AnaesthesiaLocal anaesthesia with or without sedationGeneral anaesthesia
Cost of implantBeing regular sized single piece implant it is relatively cheap.Zygomatic implants are very long manufactured specifically for the purpose, hence very expensive. Cost of the technique is more as CT scan and surgical guide is used.
No of implants for  full upper jaw6-8 for upper jaw.8 -10 for upper jaw
No of teeth14 teeth are given. Teeth replaced till second molar10 teeth or 12 teeth given. 2nd molar is not given.
No of tripsOne trip, as permanent ceramic crown or bridge is placed in 3 daysTwo trips. Permanent teeth fixed after 3 months of implant placement.
WarrantyLifetime warranty on implantNo warranty

When the patient requires fixed teeth on dental implants in upper jaw, then the options are:
»
Cantilever bridges: For example in All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques, implants are placed in anterior regions only and as such 1st molar crowns are placed as cantilevers and 2nd molars are not replaced at all. Sometimes only 10 teeth are placed. Another disadvantage of cantilevers is that the permanent ceramic bridges are fixed after 3-6 months.


What are BASAL IMPLANTS
Basal implants are implants located even when bone is less in upper jaw. They allow the prosthetic rehabilitation on dental implants in upper jaw. The applied forces go to the pterygomaxillar buttress area allowing immediate loading of the implants.
Advantages of BASAL IMPLANTS
»Eliminates the need of sinus grafting.
»No cantilevers from front teeth or implants
»
Efficient chewing is possible as teeth upto second molars are replaced. In cantilevers and zygomatic implant cases or in all-on -4 and all – on – 6 techniques 2nd molars are not replaced. If replaced then they are made as cantilevers which make the last implant weak and the bridge susceptible to fracture in the long run.
»
Bone in pterygoid area is cortical in nature, and hence very strong and rigid allowing Immediate loading with permanent crown in 3 days.
»Single piece implants are used which are strong in comparision to conventional dental implants
»All patients who want dental implants in upper jaw are good candidates as bone is always available in pterygoid area.
»
Flapless technique is used, as such patients have no swelling or bleeding and patients need not stop blood thinners, if they are taking any.
»Lifetime warranty given as strong single piece implants are being used in strong cortical bone.
»100% success rate. life time warranty

Wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal.

When wisdom teeth are misaligned, they may position themselves horizontally, be angled toward or away from the second molars, or be angled inward or outward. Poor alignment of wisdom teeth can crowd or damage adjacent teeth, the jawbone, or nerves. 

Wisdom teeth also can be impacted -- they are enclosed within the soft tissue and/or the jawbone or only partially break through or erupt through the gum. Partial eruption of the wisdom teeth allows an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection, which results in pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, and general illness. Partially erupted teeth are also more prone to tooth decay and gum disease because their hard-to-reach location and awkward positioning makes brushing and flossing difficult.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants have changed the face of dentistry over the last 25 years.What are dental implants? What is the history of dental implants? And how are they used to replace missing teeth? This section will give you an overview of the topic of dental implants, to be followed by more detail in additional sections.

As with most treatment procedures in dentistry today, dental implants not only involve scientific discovery, research and understanding, but also application in clinical practice. The practice of implant dentistry requires expertise in planning, surgery and tooth restoration; it is as much about art and experience as it is about science. This site will help provide you with the knowledge you need to make informed choices in consultation with your dental health professionals.



Let’s start from the beginning: A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body. Titanium and titanium alloys are the most widely used metals in both dental and other bone implants, such as orthopedic joint replacements. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device.

Titanium’s special property of fusing to bone, called osseointegration (“osseo” – bone; “integration” – fusion or joining with), is the biological basis of dental implant success. That’s because when teeth are lost, the bone that supported those teeth is lost too. Placing dental implants stabilizes bone, preventing its loss. Along with replacing lost teeth, implants help maintain the jawbone’s shape and density. This means they also support the facial skeleton and, indirectly, the soft tissue structures — gum tissues, cheeks and lips. Dental implants help you eat, chew, smile, talk and look completely natural. This functionality imparts social, psychological and physical well-being.
