Implant Prostheses

Implant teeth are usually dental roots made of titanium metal to replace missing teeth. Titanium is preferred in implants because it is the most compatible compound with the human body. The implants are placed into the jawbone. All functions, such as crushing and chewing, can be achieved through implants, while at the same time providing aesthetic appearance.

The main purpose of implant treatment is to create new and usable teeth on the jawbone. The lack of teeth of the individuals is evaluated by dentists in terms of aesthetics and health. Implants are created for the application of fixed and removable prostheses if sufficient bone tissue is available.

It is always wonder whether fixed teeth are made on the implanted tooth. Implant application is performed in order to increase the retention of the removable prosthesis in completely toothless mouths. By placing the implants in the jaw into the recesses in the full removable denture structure, the retention and stability of the denture increases. This increases the chewing and speaking abilities of the implant users.

According to the size of the jaw of the patient in a completely toothless mouth and the method to be applied in the treatment, it can be said that 4 to 6 implants can be made in the lower jaw. Implant construction for the upper jaw is between 6 and 8 pieces.

In order to support a movable prosthesis to a mouth without any teeth, 2 to 4 implants are required in the lower jaw. At least 4 implants should be applied in order to achieve success in the removable prosthesis to the upper jaw.

Implant-supported removable prostheses should be removed and cleaned at least twice a day. Implant-supported removable prostheses must also be removed before sleeping at night.

During cleaning of the prosthesis, make sure that the area around the implant and the attachments are cleaned and these areas should be brushed carefully.

The tires in the removable dentures can loosen over time. In the event of such loosening, the tires may be replaced by a simple process to be applied. This ensures that the restraint function is restored and restored.

The dentist should consult the dentist every 3 to 6 months during the first year after implantation. The life of the implants is much longer if cleaning and checks are made at the doctor’s appointments.

The maintenance of fixed teeth supported by the implant is similar to the maintenance of natural teeth. The fixed teeth must be brushed at least twice daily in the morning and evening. The interface between the gum and the prosthesis structure is suitable for the use of an interface brush.

In addition, regular cleaning with toothbrushes and special threads should ensure that hygiene is permanent. It is useful to follow the recommendations of the dentist regarding the care of implant supported prosthesis and bridges.
