- To restore a single tooth.
- Restore two or more teeth creating a bridge over the implants.
- All-on-4 technique for a fixed denture.
Considerations to Place a Dental Implants:
- Must have healthy gums, to ensure proper osseointegration.
- Patients should have an adequate level of bone. The amount of bone needed for a successful dental implant placement is determined by the size and location of the implant. An adequate quantity and quality of bone is essential for a successful implant placement.
- Adequate bone density is required to support the implant.
What is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a surgical procedure used to enhance the amount of bone necessary for dental implants when there isn’t enough bone density or volume. The procedure involves transplanting bone tissue to the site where an implant is to be placed.
Bone grafts can be taken from the patient’s own body (autograft), from a donor (allograft), or be synthetic (alloplastic). The graft serves as a scaffold, allowing new bone to grow and integrate over time, creating a solid foundation for the implant.
If a patient lacks sufficient bone density due to conditions like periodontal disease, tooth loss, or developmental issues, a bone graft can help restore the necessary structure for successful implant placement.
All on 4 technique
The All-on-4 technique has become one of the treatments solution for patients with significant tooth loss, often due to periodontal disease. This approach involves placing four dental implants in each arch to support a full set of fixed prosthetic teeth.
One of the advantages of the All-on-4 method is that it can often be completed in a single visit, allowing for immediate function and aesthetics.
It’s suitable for both arches (upper and lower) and provides a stable, durable option for those who have lost teeth and may have experienced bone loss. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who may not have enough bone for traditional implants, as it utilizes strategic angling of the implants to maximize available bone.
