Dental Implant Presented by : Ghadah Abulqumsan Noor Abdurrahman Reham Al Tayep
What is the implant ? A dental implant ( also known as an endosseous implant or fixture ) : Is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown , ridge , denture , facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor .
Crown Bridge D enture
The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration ( bone-to-implant interface ) where materials, such as titanium , form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed, so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a crown, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic.
Indication Generally any edentulous area can be an indication for dental implants. Severe morphologic compromise of denture supporting areas that significantly undermine denture retention. Poor oral muscular coordination. Low tolerance of mucosal tissues. Para-functional habits leading to recurrent soreness and instability of prostheses. Active or hyper active gag reflexes, elicited by a removable prosthesis.
Psychological inability to wear a removable prosthesis even if adequate denture retention and stability is there. Unfavorable number and location of potential abutments in a residual dentition. (Adjunctive location of optimally placed osseointegrate root analogues would allow for provision of a fixed prosthesis.) . Single tooth loss to avoid involving neighboring teeth as abutments.
CONTRAINDICATIONS Acute illness . Terminal illness . Pregnancy . Uncontrolled metabolic disease . Tumoricidal radiation including the implant site . History of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy . Unrealistic expectation . Improper motivation . Lack of operator experience . Unable to restore teeth prosthodontically . Inability of patient to manage oral hygiene. Patient hypersensitivity to specific components of the implant.
Classification of dental implant ENDOSSEOUS . SUBPERIOSTEAL . TRANSOSSEOUS .
Endosseous subdivided as follows : – Root form. – Blade (plate) form. – Ramus frame. Subperiosteal subdivided as follows : – Complete. – Unilateral. – Circumferential. Transosseous subdivided as follows : – Staple. – Single pin. – Multiple pin
Indications for each implant type are specified below:
1- ENDOSSEOUS: a- Root form, blade (plate) form: Adequate bone to support the implant with width and height being the primary dimensions of concern. Maxillary and mandibular arch locations. Completely or partially edentulous patients. b- Ramus frame: Adequate anterior bone to support the implant with width and height being the primary dimensions of concern. Mandibular arch location. Completely edentulous patients.
2- SUBPERIOSTEAL : ( complete, unilateral, circumferential ): Atrophy of bone but with adequate bone to support the implant. Maxillary and mandibular arch locations. Completely and partially edentulous patients. Stable bone for support.
3- TRANSOSSEOUS: ( staple, single pin, multiple pin ): Adequate anterior bone to support the implant with width and height being the primary dimensions of concern. Anterior mandibular arch location. Completely and partially edentulous patients.
For long-term successful performance of all dental implant types the following general factors should be considered: Biomaterials. Biomechanics. Dental evaluation. Medical evaluation. Surgical requirements. Healing processes. Prosthodontics. Post insertion maintenance.
Generally Accepted Implant Success Criteria The individual unattached implant is immobile when tested clinically . No evidence of pri -implant radiolucency is present , as assessed on an undistorted radiograph . The mean vertical bone loss is less than 0.2 mm annually after the first year of service . No persistent pain , discomfort , or infection is attributable to the implant . The implant design does not preclude placement of a crown or prosthesis with an appearance that is satisfactory to the patient and the dentist .

Clinical implant components Osseointegrate implant are generally designed to support screw and cement-retained implant restoration
1-Implant body . The dental implant body , often referred to as the fixture , is the component placed within the bone during first-stage surgery. Types of root form of implant body : Threaded root form Non-threaded root form The main categories of implant body : Titanium screw . Hydroxyapatite-coated screw Titanium plasma-sprayed cylinder Hydroxyapatite-coated cylinder
Types of root form of implant body
2- Healing Screw During the healing phase after first stage surgery , a screw is normally placed in superior aspect of the fixture . The screw is usually low in profile to facilitate the suturing of soft tissue in two stage implant or minimize loading in the one stage implant A second stage surgery , the screw is removed and placed by subsequent components .
3- Interim Abutment Interim abutment are dome-shaped screws placed after second stage surgery and before insertion of prosthesis . The abutments range in length from 2-10 mm and project through the soft tissue into the oral cavity . The abutments may screw directly into the fixture or, in some systems , onto the abutment immediately after second stage surgery
4- Abutments Abutments are the component of the implant system that screw directly into the implant . Abutments eventually support the prosthesis in screw-retained restoration , in as much as they accept the retaining screw of prosthesis . For cement retained restorations, abutments may be shaped like a conventional crown preparation .
The walls of abutments are usually smooth , polished , and straight – sided . The length range from 1-10 mm In nonesthetic areas , 1-2 mm of titanium should be allowed to penetrate the soft tissue to maximize the patient’s ability to clean the prosthesis The choice of abutment size depends on the vertical distance between the fixture base and opposing dentition , the existing sulcular depth , and the esthetic requirements in the area being restored . For acceptable appearance , an anterior maxillary crown may require 2-3 mm of subgingival porcelain at the facial gingival margin to create the proper emergence profile and appearance , whereas fixtures in the posterior maxilla or mandible may have margin termination at or below the gingival crest .
5- Impression Coping Impression coping facilitate transfer of the of intraoral location of the implant or abutment to a similar position on the laboratory cast . Impression coping may screw into the implant or onto the abutment and are customarily subdivided into fixture types or abutments types . Types of impression coping : Transfer ( indirect ) . Pickup ( direct ) .
6- implant analog Implant analogs are made to represent exactly the top of the implant fixture or the abutment in the laboratory cast . Therefore , analogs can be classified as fixture analogs and abutment analogs . Both types of analog screw directly into the impression coping after it has been removed from the mouth , and the joined components are returned to the impression before pouring . Abutment + Transfer r + Analog + Healing Cup
7- waxing sleeve Waxing sleeves are attached to the abutment by the relating screw on the laboratory model . The sleeves eventually become part of prosthesis . In non segmented implant crowns , the sleeves are attached directly to the implant body analog in the cast .
8- prosthesis retaining screw prosthesis retaining screws penetrate the fixed restoration and secure it to the abutment . The screws are tightened with a screwdriver and attach non-segmented crowns to the body of the implant .
Basic Surgical procedure
1- before Implant placement Successful implant placement relies on adequate bone quantity and quality . The availability of bone at the implant site is based on many variables . Some of variables controlled by the dentist include use of : Atraumatic extraction techniques . Preservation of the bony socket . Selection of interim prosthesis. Timing of implant placement .
2- implant placement Patient preparation Soft tissue incision Preparation of implant site Implant placement
a- Patient preparation Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is usually recommended . Profound local anesthesia is required for precise implant placement . The patient can rinse with 15 ml 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate ( Peridex ) for 30 sec immediately before the start of surgery to reduces the oral microbial count .
b- soft tissue Incision Several types of incisions can be used to gain access to the residual ridge for implant placement. The incision should be designed to allow convenient retraction of the soft tissue for unimpeded implant placement. It should preserve or increase the quantity of attached tissue and preserve local soft tissue esthetics .
c- preparation of the implant site After the bone is exposed the surgical guide template is positioned, and a preliminary assessment of the implant site is made . The residual ridge may have areas of unevenness or sharp ridges that are best reduced with a rongeur or a bur before drilling for implant placement . Fibrous tissue should also be removed so that it will not be incorporated into the implant site . Placement procedures for all implant systems require atraumatic preparation of recipient site . A low speed , high torque handpiece and copious irrigation are necessary to prevent excess thermal injury to the bone .
bone is exposed the surgical guide template is positioned
All implant systems have an initial small diameter drill that is used to mark the implant site . With that initial drill the center of implant recipient site is marked and the initial pilot hole is prepared . The implant recipient site preparation continuous by drilling with a series of gradually larger burs .
d-implant placement After the desired depth and diameter of the recipient site is accomplished , the implant is placed . Although some implants are pressed into place , most are threaded and must be screwed in place by handpiece at very low speed or by hand . Final tightening in most cases is done by hand with a ratchet . After all implants are placed , the wound is closed .
3- post-operative care A radiograph should be taken postoperatively to evaluate the position of implant in relation to adjacent structures , such as sinus and inferior alveolar canal , and relative to other implants . Patients should be provided analgesics . Patients can also be instructed to use 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate , rinse for 2 weeks after surgery to help keep bacterial populations at a minimum during healing . A patient is evaluated weekly until soft tissue wound healing is complete ( approximately 2-3 weeks )
If the patient wears a tissue borne denture over the area of implant placement , the denture can be relined with soft liner after one week and may be worn . Interim partial dentures or orthodontic retainers with an attached pontic may be worn immediately but must be contoured to avoid soft tissue loading over the implant site .
After 3-4 months, at second stage surgery the implant site is re-opened and cover screw is taken out . Gingival former is fitted on the implant screw for one week In one stage implants , cover screw and gingival former are not required , as we directly go for prosthetic work just after the insertion of the implant in the bone . 4- prosthetic stage
