Computer guided dental Implantology
Written by:Teeth are essential for chewing, and if missing, not only digestive problems occur but also causes the movement of healthy teeth, bone loss in the jaw and early facial aging. The repositioning of teeth in a day has now reached a high degree of perfection with the placement of dental implants that mimic the structure of the tooth ( root and crown) and allows therefore a natural rehabilitation.
Today, the success of implants over 95 % and the few failures that occur are often related to poor bone quality, the presence of infection or by an excess in the habit of snuff. However, even in those cases, you may return to reposition the implant, getting very close to 100% results.
As implants
are placedFor ideal placement of implants must not elapse too long since lost the tooth because the bone of the jaw is lost and in some cases reaches almost completely disappear. In these cases of significant bone loss, it may be necessary to perform techniques that regenerate lost bone again.
These techniques include using artificial bone or performing a bone graft obtained chin or even when you need a large amount of bone, hip, although currently there are techniques that avoid grafts such as implants placed in the zygomatic bone ( near the cheekbones ) or technical all- on-four with very satisfactory results and a quick recovery.
New techniques and tools available to us today make the placement of implants less aggressive surgical intervention due to sedation, the no need to make incisions in the gum and the possibility of performing immediate load.
Benefits of advances in Implantology
All procedures performed in the mouth are likely to be performed under intravenous sedation, an anesthetic procedure that keeps the patient in a state very close to sleep and with a high degree of relaxation so that, once complete, the patient can leave the clinic on their own feet.
The other technique that implantation has become a little aggressive process is the computer guided surgery which consists of the placement of dental implants using a system of guidelines that are produced by computer and let you avoid having to make any cut in the gum.
The advantages for the patient are due to injuries that do not occur so there is virtually no pain or inflammation causing the is very comfortable postoperative and can make an absolutely normal life from the first day of the intervention.
But undoubtedly the most important advantage of computer-guided surgery is assured that the placement of the implants is accomplished by a very precise system that guarantees a millimetric placement in the most suitable place.
This very accurate planning allows a prosthesis prepared to screw the implants at the same time placing what is called immediate load prosthesis. Finally, This technique allows implant placement in complex cases in which there is little bone because it allows you to find and exploit all areas of the maxilla, which would be almost impossible without this technology.
Thanks to these advances, there is virtually no case where you can not place dental implants allowing all patients who have lost one or more teeth dentures avoid traditional plate and choose a better option.
